ChatGPT's answer:

Grief and Loss

One of the central themes in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" is grief and loss. Oskar's father, Thomas Schell, died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, and this tragedy has a profound impact on Oskar's life. Oskar's grief is palpable throughout the novel, and his emotional journey is a raw and honest exploration of the grieving process. Oskar's grief is not only for his father but also for the loss of innocence and security that the 9/11 attacks symbolize. Foer uses Oskar's grief to highlight the collective trauma experienced by a nation in the wake of such a devastating event.
