A. It is the same as a moral.
This part of speech is an adverb
<span>The words he has chosen which are "difficult, force, crooked, struggling, tangled, fallen, fear, faint, and hungry", shows that he is going through quite a scary and tricky time, but it was hard for him to pass that swamp, and you can see he chose excellent words on how his journey was like. Plus the words " struggling, fear, and hungry", shows what difficulty he is going through and you as the reader imagine yourself in that position and you would feel it all scary on how he is experiencing it.</span>

B. Trivial vs crucial decisions.
The story mentions family and he did command a ship but a theme is a general, underlying thing that shapes the story itself. The navy guy wouldn't be feeling any of this if he hadn't seen suffering and violence and stress during his time at war. So it influences his behaviour with his family/friends at home. Therefore, the theme of the story is about the importance of life decisions. He no longer views these minute things (like vacation spots and home decor) as important.
