Answer: Despair.

Explanation: Despair is a feeling of complete loss or absence of hope. The imagery of the large red moon casting shadows is overbearing, and it emphasizes their difficult situation.

Answer: The breakdown in communication between father and son.

Explanation: The theme of this short story is the complicated relationship between father and son. The story begins with Ignacio's father asking him if he can hear anything, which he replied no. As he carries his son, he talks about all the bad decisions his son made, and how he's only saving him because of Ignacio's dead mother. The father wasn't aware that Ignacio's condition may have ruined his listening, because the father was too busy dealing with his own battles.
