Every day, when darnell came home from school, he worked on his science project. he quit playing pick-up basketball games with his friends. he quit the macoon art club at school. he didn't have time for his afternoon television shows, and he barely spoke to his sister, except at dinner. darnell was consumed with the school's annual science fair. he had won two years in a row, and now, this year, the grand prize was $1,000. darnell was focused on making sure he would win for a third year. he thought about having a huge party and inviting all his friends. he would hire a d. j. he would cater food. he would have dancing. he had it in mind that he would win first prize again, and he and his friends and family could celebrate. as the fall changed into winter, darnell was getting closer and closer to completion. he had drawn up blueprints for a robot that talked. it was his best invention yet. he could just imagine the trophy and all his friends and family cheering for him as he was presented with the check. the days seemed to fly by, and many people in darnell's life began to miss him. then, many became sad because he had ignored them while he worked at his science project. slowly, his friends stopped calling his house to see if he wanted to go see a movie or play a game of basketball. his sister stopped going to darnell to show him her newest piece she had made in the macoon art club. the sad thing was that darnell didn't even notice any of these changes. the day of the science fair arrived. as the judges made their selections for the best of the competition, darnell couldn't contain himself. they awarded third place to martin freeman for his invention. second place went to sophie romo for her turbine engine. finally, the judges awarded first place—darnell won! as he became excited, he realized none of his friends were there to cheer for him. not even his sister was there to congratulate him. he looked around the room to see martin freeman surrounded by his friends cheering him on. sophie romo had her family there taking pictures. then, darnell remembered the fall. he thought about the phone calls he missed. he thought about the times he ignored his sister and her accomplishments. suddenly, his check for $1,000 didn't seem like quite enough. suddenly, he found himself wanting to cash it in to have the fall back again. how do darnell's actions contribute to the theme?
