Question

Read this excerpt from The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. I love Soda more than I’ve ever loved anyone, even Mom and Dad. He’s always happy-go-lucky and grinning, while Darry’s hard and firm and rarely grins at all. But then, Darry’s gone through a lot in his twenty years, grown up too fast. Sodapop’ll never grow up at all. I don’t know which way’s the best. I’ll find out one of these days. Which universal theme can be found in the excerpt? Hardships are part of life’s journey. Small things make a big difference. Life can sometimes be unfair. Life experiences shape character...

Answer 2

Answer: "Life experiences shape character"

Step-by-step explanation:
