The main themes in Chapter Ten is hope. Because it is impossible to retrieve corpses from no man's land, Charlie is forced to look at the fallen bodies of his fellow English soldiers, knowing that he, too, might become a corpse in a relatively short period of time. And yet, even in this terrible moment, he still sees a blackbird singing on a barbed-wire fence, a sight that gives him some small hope. Birds represent hope and the human soul, and just as the sight of the bird at his father's funeral gives him hope, this blackbird does as well.
