The theme in a story is its underlying message, or 'big idea.'
In other words, what critical belief about life is the author trying to
convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This
belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal
in nature. When a theme is universal, it touches on the human
experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means.
Often, a piece of writing will have more than one theme.
Think
about some T.V. sitcoms you have seen that you have found trite and
boring. Was there a significant problem in the T.V. show that needed to
be solved? Probably not. In much the same way, if a piece of writing
doesn't have deeper meaning than we can just see on the surface, it is
just as shallow as the T.V. sitcom. In order for writing to be
meaningful and lasting, it needs to have a theme

<u>Step 1: Determine which options are correct
</u>
<em>Which scenarios are considered ethically acceptable for journalists? Select three options/

- Option A: paying money to attend a conference about climate change in order to do research for an article
- Option C: ending an investigation because it may lead to violence and disunity in a local community
- Option D: interviewing the CEOs of two insurance companies that are competing against each other
Option B doesn't make sense because if you are getting paid by a politician, that can further produce bias which can then lead to false things being spoke/written. Option E doesn't make sense because if you use information from a wiki page, that source is not verified which means that the source is unreliable. Therefore, the correct options are A, C, and D.
