What theme does the story express about Balboa? What theme does it express about the New World? How are these themes related?

Answer 1

The statement presents the theme of how Balboa was a great representative of the Spanish crown. It also shows the theme that it was his work that stimulated Spanish dominance in the new world. These two themes are connected because Balboa was a Spanish explorer

You have not provided the text that this question refers to. This prevents me to show you a specific answer. However, through the context of your question, we can see that it refers to Vasco Núñez de Balboa and his work in the new world.

In this case, we can say that:

• Vasco Núñez de Balboa was a Spanish explorer and was sent to the American continent, which was called the new world, to represent Spain.
• Balboa conquered territories, established colonies and discovered much wealth for Spain while working in South America.
• Much of the influence of Spain on this continent was due to the work of Balboa.

In this case, it is possible to see that the sentence "As he moves, the shadow of Spain moves with him" reinforces the importance he had for Spain. Showing that Spain had a great benefit in the work he started.
