Running in the sun expresses the theme of personal
freedom.

Simple but strong images convey the theme of childhood.

The color yellow suggests the theme of the speaker's
innocence.

Answer 1

All three.

- “Running in the sun” evokes play and freedom.
- The simple, vivid images (“my earliest memory,” “yellow overalls”) convey childhood.
- The color yellow suggests brightness/innocence.

Together these elements reveal a theme of childhood innocence and joyful freedom (a nostalgic earliest memory).
