Theme
Great stories, like the one you are
reading are often great because they convey themes. Theme is defined as a
message that the writer wishes you to get from his story.
The central idea may be expressed as a
singular encompassing theme, while at the same time there are often lesser
themes within the story.
Theme is expressed as a complete
thought:
§
War is a futile endeavour that is best
avoided, by both leaders and their citizens.
§
The bonds of blood are often stronger than
those forged by friendship.
