Would i’m assuming there not context but it seems logical
Answer:
Although survival is a key theme
Explanation:
"The man who was almost a man" speaks of Dave, who had conflicts with gaining recognition and respect, because he was young. He wanted to grow up and become a man. For this he bought a weapon, thinking that it would make him grow as a man. Seeking power, he buys this weapon, to feel powerful, unstoppable. All these conflicts of the dave age led him to make some bad decisions. The story well specifies this when he accidentally shoots a mule, and he cannot sustain the excuse he made up for it, and when he decides to take a train and go to a city where he would be able to man up.
"Oh, dear, Donald or
<span> Robert or Willie</span>..." is the only line from this list that differs in intonation since it expresses surprise about something, where the others are more inquisitive.
