In Ship Breaker, many characters want or desire something throughout the novel. Almost everyone desires wealth of some sort, whether it is a lucky strike or they find a wealth of jewels.
Nailer desires a way off the island which he expresses through his decisions. He desires to be free from his violent father. Sloth desires a lucky strike all for herself. She attempts this by not helping Nailer when stuck in an oil pocket, aspiring to have all of the wealth for herself. Richard, Nailers father, is much like Sloth and desires his own lucky strike as well.
Themes that constantly reoccur are characters gambling with the fates. Characters make decisions that could either lead to great fortune or them losing everything. For example, early on in the book, Sloth gambles with the fates. Instead of helping Nailer, she gambles and leaves him in there. Nailer escapes and she lost everything instead of having a fortune. This also occurs when finding Nita, instead of killing her and taking her fortune, he saves her which can either take him from his father or be stuck with nothing at all.
