Answer:
The theme of this text is:
<u><em>Sometimes the answer is right in front of you and the easiest path is the best path.</em></u>
Explanation:
"He decided that he would play basketball instead."
"and then he read comic books."
"He watched movies."
"Read about classic cars."
"He played the guitar."
"and cooked a meal for his family instead."
These are all things that he could've written about but, instead he didn't for many or a few reasons. He was lazy to work on it, and didn't think hard on it, he didn't want to do it and wanted to do something more fun, always in the back of his mind there was something interesting but, he wasn't thinking about the assignment. He was thinking about doing that interesting thing.
