Long Answer
1. The novel demonstrates the values of compassion and sacrifice and how demonstrating characteristics of those values can ultimately be rewarded. Jay Berry gives the money he earns to his sister to help with her leg surgery. He also learns to show compassion toward the monkeys when he saves them from the storm, rather than focusing on his own gain. (Various chapters)
2. Throughout most of the novel, Jay Berry is focused on himself and his own desires and needs. When he uses the money to help Daisy, he becomes less focused on himself and learns to think of others. (Various chapters)
