Can someone give me a good summary and incorporate a theme development and other story details please its due soon about we beat

kap26 [50]

Themes are developed by authors through the following ways: What happens - key events. Characters - character qualities, character actions and how characters respond to situations may all relate to theme. Character development - the ways characters change, and the lessons they learn indicate themes for the reader. The major theme in a literary work is the most significant idea the author is trying to convey. A theme can be anything from “Love and Friendship” to “Good versus Evil.” It's the underlying idea that connects the plot and characters with a deeper meaning.
Hope this helps!! :)

The sea deposits Crusoe on land, but he

does not make it far before another wave

crashes over him.

Crusoe attempts to guide himself to the

shore by shooting his hands above the

water.

Pulled underwater once again, Crusoe

holds his breath as he waits for the

waves to cease.
