Am I Blue?

                   In the story Am I Blue? By Bruce Coville, there was a theme that really caught my eye. That theme was that it's okay to be different because, you are never alone.
                   I think this because the main character,Vince, is on p the fence about wether he is gay or straight. Vince gets a fairy godfather named Melvin. Melvin is gay and as a gay person he has always wondered what it would be like to turn everyone in the world who is gay or may have had a gay experience. So him and Vince decided they would. They were in a cafe at the time so when Vince looked around the cafe he saw how many people were gay or had an experience of being gay. He was surprised by some of the people that he saw that were blue. This supports my theme because it shows that there are always other people out there in the world like you.
                  Melvin said "people are surrounded by gays all the time, they just don't know it." By Melvin saying that it made Vince realize that he wasn't the only one who felt ashamed of "coming out of the closet" and there were other people in the world with similar situations that he is in.
                   In the end, Vince is still undesicive about wether he is gay or straight, but that doesn't matter because any choice he makes he knows that it is always okay to be different and that there will always be someone out there like you.
