A) The events that occur in a story
B) The narrator's opinion of events
C) An underlying idea
D) An author's purpose in writing the story

Answer:

C

Explanation:

it just is

Answer:

An underlying idea

Explanation:

All theme is about is a writer expressing their ideas in their books/poems. Some examples in themes are love, war, good v.s evil, redemption, coming of age, revenge, and courage in someone.

These themes are always found in personal narrative stories because the author writing it is putting their own Point of View in a character they created or you see it in everyday comic books you read.

Therefore it is an underlying idea, so C is your answer

HELP ASSAP
Select the correct text in the passage.
Sarah has written an outline for an essay. One of her bullet points shows that educating the public about the importance of using seat belts convinces more people to use them. In which part of the outline can this idea be found?
Introduction
Car accidents are the leading cause of death among teens. Of the teens that died in car accidents last year, more than half of them were not wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Seat belts may not be comfortable or feel cool to wear, but they can save lives. They reduce serious injuries and deaths by more than half. People tend to use seat belts less often if there are no seat belt laws in their state. In order to prevent injuries, there should be seat belt education in schools, laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and awareness campaigns for the public. Body Paragraph Every school should have some type of health education program. This program should review the importance of healthy eating and exercise, the body systems, and refraining from drugs and alcohol. These things can protect your health and keep you safe. But car accidents are the number one killer for teenagers. In order to prevent deaths, seat belt education needs to be included in health education programs. When students understand the importance of wearing a seat belt, they will be more likely to wear seat belts in the car. In 1985, the Ad Council introduced a commercial featuring the crash test dummies. The ad said, “You could learn a lot from a dummy.” People wearing seat belts increased from 14% to 79%. Conclusion Taking the time to teach seat belt education in schools, creating laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and using awareness campaigns to educate the public can help prevent injuries and deaths on the road.

The Rainy Day and The Castle-Builder

Poem 1: The Rainy Day

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

The vine still clings to the mouldering1 wall,

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

5 And the day is dark and dreary.



My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,

But the hopes of youth fall think in the blast,

10 And the days are dark and dreary.



Be still, sad heart! and cease repining2;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

15 Some days must be dark and dreary.



Mouldering: decaying; rottingRepining: complaining





Poem 2: The Castle-Builder

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,

A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,

A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,

And towers that touch imaginary skies.



5 A fearless rider on his father’s knee,

An eager listener unto stories told

At the Round Table of the nursery,

Of heroes and adventures manifold.



There will be other towers for thee to build;

10 There will be other steeds for thee to ride;

There will be other legends, and all filled

With greater marvels and more glorified.



Build on, and make thy castles high and fair, ,

Rising and reaching upward to the skies;

15 Listening to voices in the upper air,

Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.
