Theme

At first, I thought theme was the main idea of the selections, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, theme is a central idea or insight about life and human nature.
Some themes are universal, which means that they are commonly found in the literature of all cultures and ages.
Themes can be found in all genres of literature; the five main genres of literature are non-fiction, fiction, poetry, drama, and myths.
Since I now understand theme, I can find the theme of my favorite movie. My favorite movie is The Lion King.
The theme of this movie is that power corrupts.
On my theme pretest, I was below grade-level. On my post test, I hope that I will be at grade-level.
