Explanation:

Jack London has a serious argument with humans because of the regular migration that occurs because of the lack of enough resources. When discussing the migrate motivations because of the economic securities and other better opportunities. The arguments, therefore, are reduced by getting themselves from hunger that had stricken thousands of lives and other Slovak immigrants who had settled in Pennsylvania.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !

the answer is definitely d. sorry for a late response.
