True Grit

Mattie is a family girl. Although the theme of the family is a secondary theme in the book, this is a good opportunity for readers to debate it after reading. The family is the dearest treasure for Mattie. She loses her treasure, when her father is killed. Mattie does not forget about him and does everything that her dad will find peace in heaven. Nevertheless, she has a mother and siblings, who support Mattie, despite their affective behavior after death of Franck Ross. The author hints at the fact that readers need to protect their family, because it is not known, when we will lose our darling people.
