Question

review the poem.
a gift for gram
this week is my grandmas birthday,
and for her gift? i have no clue!
my sister got her a necklace,
perfect, silver, shiny, new.
ive thought and thought for days now
about what gift to get.
i shouldnt pick out something
that she would open, then forget.
so i hunted inside the closet
for a box from long ago.
i found some paper and some glue,
and pasted photos in a row.
when gram unwrapped my present,
her smile was like the sun above.
she had a scrapbook of family photos,
with years of memories and love.
what is the main theme of the poem?
the only good gifts are those made at home.
there are more important things in life than getting gifts.
dont wait until the last minute to get a gift for a loved one.

Explanation:

The poem focuses on the speaker choosing a heartfelt, memory-focused homemade gift (a photo scrapbook) over a store-bought item, as they want a gift that holds lasting meaning tied to love and memories rather than something fleeting. The correct theme centers on the value of meaningful, personal gifts over material ones, and the option "There are more important things in life than getting gifts" aligns with this, as the speaker prioritizes love and lasting memories over a physical, forgettable present. The first option is too absolute (it does not claim homemade gifts are the only good ones), and the visible partial option about waiting is not relevant to the core message.

Answer:

There are more important things in life than getting gifts.
