Question

the student’s story uses events and character choices to explore the theme of accepting others despite their imperfections. which structural change would best strengthen how this theme is revealed? remove the internal conflict where jordan wonders if he is “both good and bad.” move the police chase to the beginning of the story so readers start with action. insert a paragraph explaining graffiti laws before the climax. add a resolution where jordan’s friends respond to his graffiti mistake and show they still value him.

Explanation:

The theme is accepting others despite imperfections. Adding a resolution where friends respond to Jordan’s graffiti mistake and still value him directly shows acceptance (they value him even after his mistake), strengthening the theme. Removing internal conflict, moving the police chase, or inserting a paragraph on graffiti laws don’t relate to showing acceptance of others’ imperfections.

Answer:

Add a resolution where Jordan's friends respond to his graffiti mistake and show they still value him.
