B. It allows the reader to better understand the characters
Answer: I think the answer is A but I could be wrong
Explanation: I hope this helps!
Me and my bestie went on a trip to Kansas, we got Starbucks on the way there and she spilled it all over the car. We had to pull over and clean it. When we finally got there we found out out hotel room hadn't been booked, so we had to sleep in the sticky car. The trip was fun but not worth it.
This is definetly a tricky one, but you have to go back to the definition and meaning of 'theme.' A theme is the life lesson of a story or any other form of writing, movies, etc. So, I am not 100% on this, so I will say why I think for each answer. A; I definetly do not think it is A. B; doesn't sound right for me because even though the person in the poem is waiting for the bloom, he/she isn't talking just about waiting, he/she is talking about the time that is going by. C; It sounds like the cherry blossoms may bloom every year, but its not completely clear and doesn't fully match a theme. D; It sounds like the man/women is contemplating the life they have lived through seeing the cherry blossom for years. So I would say the and answer is D since that makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps! :)
