Friendship is a very common theme. Tim and Kon have a deep bond, and many fanfictions explore how they rely on each other, have each other's backs, and grow closer over time.
Yes, it is. The Kon - Tiki expedition was a real adventure. Thor Heyerdahl and his crew sailed on a balsa - wood raft from Peru to the Polynesian islands to prove that pre - Columbian South Americans could have reached the Pacific islands. They faced many challenges during the journey, but they managed to complete it, which is a remarkable feat in the history of exploration.
It's a combination of truth and fiction. The setting and overall context are based on historical facts, but the specific details and characters may have been embellished or created for the sake of the story.
One common theme is friendship. Kon and Tim are often depicted as having a deep and meaningful friendship that helps them through tough times. Another theme is mentorship, where one might teach the other new skills or ways of thinking.
One key element is often the character of April O'Kon herself. Her personality traits, like her courage or her curiosity, drive the story forward. For example, if she's a curious character, she might go on adventures to discover new things.
