At first, I thought theme was the meaning of the story, 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.
Themes are can be found in all genres of literature; 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 “Kung Fu Panda”. The theme of this movie is that no matter what you can get true anything if you just believe in yourself. On my theme pretest, I was at grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at grade-level.
