Theme
  • A theme is an idea or a truth that the author
    reveals to the reader in a story.

21
Theme
  • This idea or truth helps us to understand
    ourselves as human beings who are connected to
    all other human beings in the world, across all
    spaces, cultures and across all time.

22
Theme
  • The theme is the important thing for us to learn
    about others, but especially about ourselves.

23
Theme
  • Themes are often related to life, death, love,
    friendship, family, courage etc. Stories may
    not always present people in their best light,
    but by reading their stories, we can better
    understand how people live and behave towards
    each other.

24
Theme
  • To come up with a theme sentence for a story,
    think about the important idea or truth we learn
    from the story.

25
THEME
  • How do you relate to the characters or
    situations?
  • What life lesson can we learn from the story?

26
Symbolism

    larger than itself.
  • A journey can symbolize life.
  • Water may represent cleanliness and renewal.
  • A lion can be a symbol of courage.
