theme

At first, I thought theme was a topic, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, theme is a central idea or insight about life and human nature that gives a story meaning. Some themes are universal, which means that they are commonly found in literature of all cultures and ages. The five main genres of literature are non-fiction, fiction, poetry, drama, and myth. Since I now understand theme, I can find the theme of my favorite movie. My favorite movie is "little man". The theme of this movie is: never trust the most obvious. On my theme pretest, I was below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at or above grade-level.
