The theme of If I Stay is, that Love gives you a reason to live. Mia struggles with
the decision of whether or not she should stay alive or die. Love, is the theme of the book
because, Mia realizes that if she stays she would still have some family but, if she goes she won’t be able to go to Julliard and play her cello. Mia decides to live love, because she has other family and she has the cello.
The reason, why Mia's family makes her want to stay is because, her mother and, father would have wanted her to succeed and live for the cello. Plus considering the, fact that she still has a family that is still alive. " Dad was Still smiling but I could tell he had turned serious because he slowed down his speech. "You just hang in there.""So I went on. I didn't blaze through the piece. I didn't achieve glory or get a standing ovation, but I didn't muck it up entirely, either. And after the recital, I got my present. It was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking as human as that cello I'd been drawn to two years earlier. It wasn't a rental. It was mine"(Pg.27 Forman).
Another reason why Mia chose to stay is because, of her fiercely intensive love for her cello playing. "In comes the cello,like a heart bleeding. And it's like something inside of me implodes. I am sitting with my cello, the one Mom and Dad gave me after my first recital.Yo-Yo Ma continues to play,and it's like the piano and cello are being poured into my body, the same way that IV and blood transfusions are"( Pg.232 Forman).
The two reasons, that I gave for the reasoning of why Mia chosed to stay alive for love, beause she was encouraged by her family to do what she loves which is the cello. Since Mia's family encouraged to do the cello, it's one reason that's very strong that shows how much she loves them. Another reason that I explained was her cello she loves the cello so much,that it practically becomes heartbeat and, it just runs through her veins.
