    Explanation
    The correct answer is about the theme of crossing the bridge between the rich and the poor and understanding the perspective of those on the other side before passing judgment. This theme is evident throughout the novel as the characters from the greaser gang, who come from a lower socioeconomic background, are constantly judged and misunderstood by the wealthier characters. The story highlights the importance of empathy and recognizing the complexities of individuals' lives before making assumptions or forming opinions about them.
