The evidence that supports the author’s reasoning for combining the parallel plots to convey a message can be found in the excerpt: “While their water buckets and shallow trench felt insignificant, as the whale sprayed a large spout of water into the air, they smiled because each small effort they made led to this momentous moment.” This shows that even though Asher and Ji's individual contributions seemed small, collectively their efforts played a significant role in the larger context of saving the whale. It emphasizes the theme that every small action counts and can contribute to a larger purpose, which is what makes their story meaningful.
