Themes аre develоped by the mаjоr literаry elements оf the text, such as: *plot/conflict *characterizations *literary devices (metaphor, similes, etc.), patterns, symbols, any recurring images ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NPR’s Three-minute Fiction Round-Three Winner In Tucson, we found the train-hopping kids, and went with them to New York City. I was 15 and had never been out of Arizona. That summer, I'd learned to eat from Dumpsters, carry a knife in my pocket and sleep with my backpack chained to my waist. My girlfriend Sarah was scared to try, but when she saw I'd go without her, she came. New Mexico and Texas floated past, framed in the open rail car door. We slept under a Baton Rouge bridge, partied in New Orleans, changed trains in Atlanta. Sarah was liking this now. At Penn Station, we stepped outside, and the cold stung our skin. We stood there and blinked. The other kids headed round back of a coffee shop to Dumpster dive. Sarah called to me. I shook my head, and she went. I knew she'd bring back something - a stale doughnut, a still warm half-cup of coffee. In the shop window, I studied my reflection. Wild, red hair stuck out from knots Sarah couldn't untangle with her broken comb. My eyes seemed too large and staring. My beard still looked strange. I thought of Phoenix. I'd left home over a month ago, telling no one. I hugged myself, shivering. We'd have to find coats, sweaters. I stopped seeing myself, and looked through the glass, at a warm table with a spread-open newspaper, carelessly left behind. The pages fluttered each time a customer opened the door and went in. Sarah came up beside me, handed over a half-eaten apple. She said, “no coffee.” Her hands were blue. She followed my gaze. “We'll get newspapers tonight.” She meant for sleeping. Old papers were everywhere, littering the ground under bridges, inside doorways, beside creeks and riverbeds. We stuffed our clothes and covered ourselves when it rained. She said, “come on, Ben,” but I couldn't stop looking at the newspaper, how people walked past, ruffling the pages, not noticing. The paper danced in the draft they created, and inched across the table, moving close to the edge. Sarah tugged my arm and I looked anxiously at the Tucson kids rounding a corner, searching for food. I didn't know how to explain to Sarah I wanted this paper. I wasn't thinking of Phoenix anymore, of my home and my parents. I wanted to fold this newspaper shut with a crease, protect it from the gray sooty day, keep it from falling to the floor, where it would soon get covered in black shoe prints. But I couldn't get myself to go in, take it from the table. In its perfect frame of polished wood and gleaming glass, lit by lamps and the glowing smiles of people sipping coffee from steaming china cups, I knew the paper wasn't mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is one quote from the story that helps to develop the theme you chose in question 41?

(01.04 MC)Reаd the Nаtive Americаn fable "Mukumik! Mukumik! Mukumik" Then, answer the questiоn that fоllоws.Pauppukkeewis was a mischievous person who played many peculiar tricks but always provided food for his family and children. However, there came a time when he and his entire family were on the verge of starvation. Despite his efforts, he couldn't find any partridges, hares, or fish due to the deep snow and prolonged storm. His lodge was near the Gitchiguma shores, where the autumn storms had created towering ice formations resembling castles.One morning, Pauppukkeewis decided to seek mercy from the spirits inhabiting these ice castles, believing that some of the spirits of his village resided there. He followed their instructions, filled his sacks with ice and snow, and was instructed only to look back once he reached a specific hill near his lodge. He was told to leave the bags there overnight and promised they would be filled with fish by morning. Although he heard voices calling out and insulting him along the way, which were just the wind among the branches of the trees, Pauppukkeewis managed to resist the temptation to look back. The following day, he discovered that his sacks were filled with fish.Later, when Manabozho visited Pauppukkeewis, he was curious about the abundance of food during a time of scarcity. Pauppukkeewis shared the secret and the necessary precautions. Intrigued, Manabozho decided to visit the icy castles. He followed the same steps, filling his sacks with ice and snow. However, he forgot the crucial instruction not to look back and turned his head to see who was insulting him. Although he saw no one, his disobedience reversed the charm, and his sacks remained filled with rubbish the next day. As a result, every year during March, Manabozho is cursed to run over the hills while Pauppukkeewis follows, crying out, "Mukumik! Mukumik!"Which of the following best states the universal theme of this fable?
