Theme

At first I thought that theme was the moral of the story but I learned that this was wrong.
Actually, theme is the central idea or insight about life and human nature that gives the story meaning. Some themes are universal which means that they are commonly found in the 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 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The theme of this movie is “love will always triumph over evil”. On my theme pretest, I was below grade level. On my theme post test I hope that I will be at least at grade level.
