Part A A theme of the story is that in times of need, people benefit more from actions than from promises of support.

How does Jerome develop this theme?

He seeks advice from his mother, rather than working through his problem alone.

He brings his teammates together to find ways to benefit others in their community.

He sends several messages a day to a friend who has recently suffered a tragedy.

He chooses to go directly to assist those in need, rather than ask about how to help.

"The morning after the rugby championship, Jerome reached for his phone, prepared to enjoy the usual flood of photos that tended to appear following a game."

"He wondered how many people would actually show up to help out and how many would simply hope that enough others did."

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
