Final Answer:
Concrete nouns (underline): raft, weeks, hope, despair, thoughts, hotdog, hunger, fish, net, bag, thread, intelligence, fish, rain, tarp, thirst, boredom, stories, time, love, sacrifice, survival, fins, water, shark, balance, fear, terror, island, boat, capsizes, problems
Abstract nouns (circle): hope, despair, thoughts, hunger, intelligence, boredom, stories, time, love, sacrifice, survival, fear, terror, problems
(Note: Some words like *hope*, *despair*, *hunger*, *intelligence*, *boredom*, *stories*, *time*, *love*, *sacrifice*, *survival*, *fear*, *terror*, and *problems* are abstract and should be circled. Words that name physical things—like *raft*, *fish*, *net*, *bag*, *thread*, *rain*, *tarp*, *shark*, *island*, *boat*—are concrete and should be underlined. “Weeks” is concrete (a measurable unit of time you can count), while “time**” as in “pass the time” or “the time they spend” is abstract.)
