PLZ HELP! QUESTION IS BELOW! :D

Answer 1

Answer:I'd say hard work earns rewards.

Explanation: The reason I chose this is because while Justin sits and watches as the hard working people receive rewards, he is left believing that they're "born this way". Through enough analyzing of the story and with experience, we can determine whether or not people are actually born with talent or if they've worked for it, and the answer pins down to them working for it. The central idea is that with hard work, comes prosperity, and the answer could also be that without hard work, comes denial and or jealousy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hard work earns reward.

Explanation:

The reason I think this is the theme because all the people justin is envious in the passage all worked hard to get where they are. For instance in the text it states that Cassie "studied late into the night" just to be valedictorian. Victor eas elected class president after he "tirelessly campaigned". Also when Matthew became quarter back he had to train morning and night. Nothing is just handed to you, you have to work hard. Justin was jealous and envious of what his friends and family accomplished. Little did just know that they worked really hard to get what was rewarded to them. Justin hasn't done any hard work so why does should he get a reward, that's something he doesn't understand. Hard work earns rewards.
