Read this excerpt from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe:
mars1129 [50]

The theme which the excerpt best supports is the following one:

B. It is important to be grateful.

The character is aware of how terrible his current situation is. However, things could be worse. After all, he didn't drown like the rest of the crew, whose lives ended and cannot in any way carry on. Even though the narrator is in a desolate place, "void of all hope of recovery", there might be a chance for him to find a way out, even if it takes years.

Plz, help!<br> Why is getting the story first a big deal?
klemol [59]

Answer:

It's a big deal, so you can understand and summarize/ paraphrase the story.

Explanation:

If you read the story, you will understand and comprehend what is happening inside the story. If you don't read the story and just answer the questions, you might get frustrated because you didn't read the story, you don't know the answers.

Here is an example:

Little Red Riding Hood

1. How did the wolf manipulate the girl?

You don't know the answer to the question because you didn't read the story, you are either forced to guess and use context clues or go back and read the story.

I hope this helped :)
