What do you think "theme" is?

Theme:

• The moral lesson or heart of a story

• A lesson that anybody reading the story could learn

• Doesn't have to do with the characters

Theme vs not theme

• Theme: Hard work pays off

• Not theme: Francisco worked hard and it paid off for him

• The difference? One applies to ALL people, the other just applies to Francisco
