Terry Fox Did this individual's actions bring about a major change --
a new law, more public awareness, different social attitudes towards the issue? (Are any of these actions considered a “turning point” on the issue?)

Explanation:

More public awareness.

The question his quest asked was I was healthy, why did the cancer come back?

And when it did, the whole country was behind him to beat it again. Everyone wanted to see him continue his run.

He did not.

Since then sometime in Sept. of every year, the Terry Fox run is re enacted across Canada to raise funds for Cancer research. Not many other people are that well remembered as he is.

what is a theme?

ans: the implicit idea of a written work of literature is called a theme.

so, the only theme of "birdfoot's grampa" by joseph bruchuc is that as a human being one should always remember the value of every life on earth.

the grampa is stopping the car again and again to save those little toads from washing away in the heavy rain is an act of kindness and humanity.

yes, it can be both.
