Explanation:

Para la primera cita "So would also their house sometime return into the earth, their bodies also. Each had his turn at this earth", se asocia con el tema "Nothing is permanent" ya que habla de cómo las cosas (casas, cuerpos) regresan a la tierra, lo que implica impermanencia.

Para la segunda cita "If I had the silver, they would have taken it. If I had bought with the silver to store it, they would have taken it all. I have the land still, and it is mine", se asocia con el tema "Land is more dependable than man - made things" ya que contrasta la vulnerabilidad de la plata (cosa hecha por el hombre) con la dependabilidad de la tierra.

Para la tercera cita "Hunger makes a thief of any man", se asocia con el tema "Desperation can force people to abandon their principles" ya que el hambre (una forma de desesperación) hace que la gente cometa acciones (ser ladrón) que podrían ir en contra de sus principios.

Answer:

1. Nothing is permanent
2. Land is more dependable than man - made things
