Question

I’m different that way. I mean, my second-oldest brother, Soda, who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen, never cracks a book at all, and my oldest brother, Darrel, who we call Darry, works too long and hard to be interested in a story or drawing a picture, so I’m not like them. And nobody in our gang digs movies and books the way I do. For a while there, I thought I was the only person in the world that did.
What is the theme of this excerpt?
A) Being part of a team is meaningful.
B) Growing up means accepting oneself.
C) Nature teaches powerful life lessons.
D) Family traditions are important.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Growing up means accepting oneself.

Explanation:

The narrorator is highlighting the differences between her and her brothers, showing how she is different from them. That makes me think that B would be the answer, as she is accepting her differences from her siblings. This is me kind of making an assumption, but if I were doing this quiz that is the answer I would choose.
