The first moment that we can see the importance of hope in life, is when we know that James' parents died and that he will live with his aunts in a very bad situation, because his aunts hate him and do not allow him to have fun or have friends. This is a very sad situation where there is no way out, it is at this moment that the hope of finding better days is more important, because in extremely difficult situations, only hope in life can alleviate our suffering.
A second moment that shows the importance of hope in life is when James manages to make friends with the most unusual beings possible, the insects, which through the hope of James being able to travel, have fun and get rid of his aunts, take him to incredible adventures.

I hope that this helps.
It is a a trait that helps a creature survive in a particular environment.
A few years ago I had an English teacher that encouraged "The Oreo Method"; it compares effective constructive criticism to an Oreo cookie.
The filling in the middle was the constructive criticism, but before and after that, you offer positive feedback for the writer.
Pretty self explanatory:
1. Provide one piece of positive feedback first and linger on it for a couple sentences; let them know how important that "thing" is and, in a way, praise them for doing it. This primes them to accept your feedback cause they know how thoroughly you've read and analyzed their work.
2. Offer any and all of the constructive criticism you have; stay subtle and be concise with all your feedback.
3. Offer more positive feedback, as many good things as you can come up with.
By submerging the constructive criticism between positive feedback, you keep their hopes up while still thoroughly conveying weak spots in their work.
I hope this kinda made sense; it's a very self explanatory idea so I had trouble elaborating on it.
