Enlightenment from the ticket

Childlike innocence and innocence are naturally what "Polar Express" wants to express, just like the Christmas bells that adults can no longer hear. In addition, a journey will always be a story of growth.

The four children in the story, two hesitant boys (let's call it a little boy and the other a little boy), a helpful girl, and a jack-of-all-trades who can tell the train information made in 1931. The journey starts with the two letters cut out of each person's ticket, and when returning, the conductor cut out the complete words for each child. The words on each person's ticket represent the harvest and growth of each person.

The two letters of the ticket for MasterCard and the little girl were "LE" when they got on the bus, but on the return trip, MasterCard got "LEARN". At first, he held down R and couldn't wait to say what LEAN meant? After discovering that it was LEARN and saying "I was wrong", children who knew everything began to learn to learn. What the little girl has gained is "LEAD". During the journey, whether it is secretly preparing hot milk for the little boy, defending for the little boy after the train stops urgently, and playing with the little boy in the singing of "When christmas come to town" The chorus gave confidence, and they all showed the temperament of a leader who dares to take responsibility.

The protagonist, the little boy who got on the train first, and the little boy who got on the train later, both had the same doubts. They didn’t climb on the train until the train started, but the terms of the tickets they got on the return trip were completely different. .

The little boy is more lonely. In a separate car, you can watch the little boy sing in the song:
I guess that Santa's busy
Cause he's never come around

All the things I've heard about
But never Really seen that

his biggest gain during the journey is friends. The word on his ticket is the only one that will magically change. From DEPEND ON to RELY ON, to COUNT ON, he can trust and rely on friends.

As for our protagonist, the little boy, he is a child who dares to challenge and dared to undertake, but facing the confusion of growing up, what is needed at this time is "BELIEVE", faith. Every child needs faith in the process of growing up, and faith can make People maintain an initial heart, so they won’t be filled with so many doubts as we grow up.

The Polar Express quotes

  • The Boy: Is everything all right? What do we do?

    The Conductor: Well, considering that we have lost communication with the engineer, and are standing totally exposed on the front of the locomotive, and the train seems to be accelerating, uncontrollably, not to mention that we are headed to Glacier Gulch, which just happens to be the steepest downhill grade in the world, I suggest we all hold on... TIGHTLY!

    [the train plunges down the VERY steep downhill tracks and accelerates rapidly]

  • The Boy: [after sounding the train whistle] I've wanted to do that my whole life!
