Determine the theme of this passage. Then, describe the evidence from the text that supports the theme you identified. Passage O

skar loved to look through his father's telescope. He was fascinated by the stars and planets, and on clear nights, his father would set the telescope up and tell Oskar stories about the constellations. Then, one night, when his parents were asleep, Oskar set the telescope up secretly by himself. He tried to adjust the focus, but when he turned a knob, it broke in his hand! He was terrified. He put the broken telescope away and spent the whole night in fear of what would happen if he confessed to his father. But in the morning, he gathered his nerve and told his father what he had done. His father was silent for a moment, then hugged Oskar. "I know it was hard for you to admit that," he said, "but I also know how much you love the stars and planets. Let's fix it together so you can learn more about how telescopes work."

Answer:

The theme of the passage is that telling the truth is always the best thing to do.

The evidence of this theme can be seen in the lines:

"But in the morning, he gathered his nerve and told his father what he had done. His father was silent for a moment, then hugged Oskar. "I know it was hard for you to admit that," he said, "but I also know how much you love the stars and planets. Let's fix it together so you can learn more about how telescopes work.""

Explanation:

The theme of a text refers to the message the author wants to convey through reading. In the case of the text presented in the question above, the reader can see that after the boy breaks his father's telescope, he is very afraid to tell the truth about what happened. However, when he plucked up the courage, told the truth, and took the blame, the boy's father was not angry, but rather proud that his son was brave enough to tell the truth. In this, we can see that the message the author wants to present is that telling the truth is always the best option. This is the theme of the excerpt.

Write letter to ur friend describe how u save a who was in danger​
dedylja [7]

Dear ZhNya,

you won't believe what happened to me today I saved a kid from death. The kid was in a apartment that was catching on fire! I walked up to the apartment when I noticed a crowd. I asked what was going on, and a man answered there's a kid in a apartment that was on fire. That reminded me of my sister who died in a fire so I, ran into the apartment without a second thought. I went in and looked everywhere until I found the kid. Then I ran out in a hurry because I was running out of breath. That's the story of how I saved a kid.
