​Theme Review

​What is the theme of a story or poem?

​

​One of the first questions to ask upon hearing someone has written a story is, “What’s it about?” or “What’s the point?” Short answers may range from love to betrayal or from growing up to the haziness of memory. The central idea, topic, or point of a story, essay, or narrative is its theme. The theme statement should be universal, meaning you could apply this lesson or message to other stories or other situations.
