He thought wrong of Percy; he judged the book by its cover. We as humans are used to that point of view, judging a book by its cover, the ending part of the movie where he confesses that he was wrong really taught a good lesson to all of us. Compassion was defiantly another theme in this film, compassion was a theme in a sense that Hannah and the town were compassionate for one another, they all relied on each other.

They appeal to the emotions of the audience by evoking the love a parent and child have. They sing “A lonely mother gazing out of the window staring at her son that she just can't touch” and, “If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side, but he doesn't realize he hurts her so much” (Waterfalls Lyrics).
