<h2>The correct answer is "Joe Morgan remembers many many planes; Robert Kinzler does not."</h2>
Explanation:
Joe Morgan and Robert Kinzler were both survivors of Pearl Harbor. They relive their experiences from December 7, 1941 (the attack on Pearl Harbor) through telling their stories.
The difference between Morgan and Kinzler was the location.
<em><u>Morgan was on the battlefield while Kinzler was not at Pearl Harbor when bombs began to fall. </u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
At first, Morgan was afraid, claiming that he joined the navy to see the world, not fight the war. But as he considers other officers fighting, he was ashamed and began to fight as well. Morgan can see and hear all the planes. On the other hand, Kinzler was at Schofield Barracks, which was a few miles away from the war field. Kinzler stated in his story that although there were a total of 353 planes in the air during that day, he only remembered hearing one.
The theme highlighted in the mentioned excerpt would be perseverance.
The excerpt tells of Rainsford's courageous act of braving the sea to go to the direction of the shots despite of the harsh conditions at the sea. This is evidenced by the phrase "he fought the sea".
The term "doggedly" also describes a persistent pursuit which was what Rainsford showed. He showed perseverance in his actions.
