The
boat, The Wanderer, is a symbol for lost souls

Uncle
Dock’s real name, Jonah, is a symbol of the superstition that goes along with
important and dangerous events

Dreams
are a big theme within the story. Sophie’s
character is very guarded and we learn more about her through her dreams since
she doesn’t reveal much verbally.
Throughout the novel dreams are what help Cody and Sophie become more
relaxed.
