<span>Based on the contextual information provided about author Stephen Crane, the theme that the last sentence of this excerpt from his short story "The Open Boat" likely reflects is that <u>nature is indifferent to humans.
</u>Nature is, in this case, the tower which looms over the destiny of tiny ants, or humans, and it doesn't really care what happens to us - it exists regardless of the fact whether we are there or not to witness its glory.<u>

Answer:
Mrs. Robertson's note to Maria Elisa really helps her confidence and relieves her stress at thinking the teacher no longer likes her.
Explanation:
Maria Elisa is poor but she wants to give her favorite teacher a nice gift, just like everyone else in class. However, unlike most people from her class, she can't afford it. She feels very sad about the fact that her mom picked out a pair of stockings to give to Mrs. Robertson and she feels ashamed of having to give it to her, which is why she throws the gift in garbage. However, Mrs. Robertson leaves Maria Elisa a note thanking her for the gift because it's very thoughtful (turns out Mrs. Robertson often tears her stockings).
All of these could influence a person’s perspective.
The first one: advise+ -able
