opening night
i wake at dawn, and nighttime
feels one hundred years away.

for the movie that comes out today!

and re - watched the old series.
weve read about the brand new cast
and shared our favorite theories.
we watch the time on our phones.
i tell nate im sick of waiting.
he suggests we try the riverwalk,
for some biking and some skating.
its a blast; we hardly get back
in time to change and eat.
before i can even check the clock,
im in my costume and my seat!
what is the main theme of the poem?
finding ways to pass the time can make waiting easier.
planning ahead can help large, important events go well.
its important for friends to take turns choosing things to do.

Explanation:

The poem focuses on the narrator and Nate waiting all day for a new movie release. When the narrator grows tired of waiting, they pass the time by biking/skating at the riverwalk, which makes the wait feel shorter and enjoyable. This aligns with the first option. The other options do not fit: the poem does not emphasize planning ahead making the event go well, nor does it mention friends taking turns choosing activities.

Answer:

Finding ways to pass the time can make waiting easier.
