Theme is…

underlying meaning of the story, a universal truth, a significant statement the story is making about society, human nature, or the human condition.

Page 10: Fiction and Non-Fiction

Themes can be found everywhere: literature, stories, art, movies etc…

The theme of a fable is its moral. The theme of a parable is its teaching. The theme of a piece of literature is its view about life and how people behave.

What is Theme?

Page 11: Fiction and Non-Fiction

The theme of a literary work is its underlying central idea or the generalization it communicates about life.

Theme = idea

Page 12: Fiction and Non-Fiction

At times the author's theme may not confirm or agree with your own beliefs.

Page 13: Fiction and Non-Fiction

Be aware that the theme never completely explains the story.

It is simply one of the elements that make up the whole.

Some short stories have secondary

themes as well.

Nonfiction: Main Idea

The central message, insight, or opinion in a work of nonfiction.

The supporting details are the pieces of evidence a writer uses to prove his or her point.

Reread to help you identify the main idea and supporting details in a work. As you read, follow these steps:• Note key details to decide what the main idea might be.

• If a detail does not seem to support that main idea, reread the passage to be sure that you have not misinterpreted it.

• If necessary, revise your assumptions about the main idea.
