What is the difference between a theme of a story and a topic of a story?

Theme is the life lesson you learn and topic is what the story is mostly about.

Theme is a summary and a topic is a life lesson.

A theme is the message about people or the world that the author is trying to get across. Themes are universal, which means they are true in all times and all places. Read the following passage from a story. Rohan triumphantly lifted the trophy above his head. Despite all the obstacles, he had won. Beneath his cheerful exterior, he felt a twinge of the constant pain he’d learned to live with. Almost unconsciously, Rohan removed one hand from the trophy and rubbed the thin red scar that snaked around his ankle. He thought back to the surgery and the weeks spent lying in his bed, unable to compete. The months of exercises to strengthen his leg. “Rohan!” he heard the crowd scream, as if in slow motion. A smile broke across Rohan’s face, shattering his thoughts. He returned his hand to his trophy, firmly grasping it. Which of the following is most likely a theme of the story?

Through determination, you can overcome big challenges.

Some goals are too hard to achieve even if you try many times.

You need the support of your family to overcome challenges.

When you achieve a goal, you shouldn’t brag about it.

Read the following passage. The last time George saw Charity, they were eight years old, building forts of dirt and sticks in the corner lot. When Charity's family moved to Texas, George was heartbroken. There were 500 miles between them, but to George, she may as well have moved to the moon. For a time, George mourned the loss of their friendship. But much to his surprise, a letter appeared in his mailbox the next week. It was the first of many sharp, funny letters in which Charity's unique personality lept off the page. Through this correspondence, George followed six years of events in Charity's life: her family's many moves, her struggles in school, her triumphs playing the violin. He hoped that she looked forward to his responses as much as he looked forward to hers. What is the theme of the passage?

People can remain good friends even if they are separated.

A boy remains friends with a girl who's far away by writing letters.

A boy's relationship with a good friend ends after she moves away.

In most stories, you have to analyze the characters' traits and the events of the plot to infer the theme. Read the following passage from a story. Marta was stumped. She had turned the details of the case over and over in her head, trying to figure out the answer. The suspect had somehow entered the store, stolen the artwork and exited without leaving any trace or fingerprints. Marta paced, her movements matching her storm of thoughts. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the new technological device she had been given to use, which she'd been avoiding like the plague. "I wonder…" she thought. Hesitantly, Marta typed the details of the case into the device's keyboard. It whirred and spat out a list of similar cases and how they'd been solved. Reading through the information, Marta was amazed. She had been pondering for hours, but 30 seconds with this device, and she could find answer! With new respect, she rushed off. Which detail from the passage provides the best clue that a theme of the story is "technology can have good effects"?

"She had been pondering for hours, but 30 seconds with this device, and she could find her answer!"

"The suspect had somehow entered the store, stolen the artwork and exited without any trace or fingerprints."

"Marta paced, her movements matching her storm of thoughts."

"Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the new technological device she had been given to use, which she'd been avoiding like the plague."

Read the following passage from a story. As Tai strummed the guitar, Charlesa looked at her with pride. For so long, Tai's fingers had clumsily tripped over the strings, but now she played the song with ease. Getting to this point hadn't been easy for Charlesa, either. She sighed, trying to bury the memories of all the screaming tantrums Tai had thrown. Once, she nearly threw her guitar against a wall. But now when Tai smiled, and the tune of "Sweet Home Alabama" floated out of the instrument, Charlesa smiled, too. It had been worth it. Which of the following is most likely a theme of the story?

Hard work can bring great rewards.

Playing a musical instrument is too much work.

Friends shouldn't try to teach each other new things.

It's OK to give up on yourself.
