I NEED TO TURN IT IN 3 HOURS PLEASE ANSWER

Read the following excerpted conversation between Mark Brian and Peter the carver from Margaret
Craven's I Heard the Owl Call My Name:
"Peter, what is it? What is this unease that is now in the village?"
"It is always so when the young come back from the school My people
are proud of them, and resent them. They come from a far country. They
speak English all the time, and forget the words of Kwakwala. They are
ashamed to dip their food the oil of oolachon which we call gleena. They say
to their parents. 'Don't do it that way. The white man does it this way. They do
not remember the myths, and the meaning of the totems. They want to
choose their own wives and husbands. They no longer listen when the elders
speak. They go and soon the village will go also." (61-62)
"On Sunday after church the young people returned to school Many of
the tribe went to the river's edge to see them off in canoes. And the young
people regretted going and wanted to go and the elders wanted to keep
them and were relieved when they went" (64)
In a well-written paragraph, analyze a specific technique Craven uses to develop a theme.

Answer:

Death

Step-by-step explanation:

In the native culture of Kingcome it is believed that if a person hears the owl call his name, he or she is going to die soon. ... As Mark learns, the Indians believe that death is just another part of life, to be accepted when the time comes rather than dreaded.
