The theme of a story is not only is what the story may be about, but what the story or author teaches. "James resolved to make time for his friends rather than focusing on making money", would be a correct example of introducing a theme to a story.
"Marta gasped when she discovered the necklace was no longer around her neck" would introduce the plot, or what is going to happen, in the story.
There was once a little girl who was passing through the woods, curious to find berries for her siblings but rather stumbled upon a weird looking cabin. Since she was still young and did not have a concrete knowledge of many things, she stepped into the home as it was unlocked. Inside were full of candies, sweetners on the table, even a chocolate water fall as you go up the stairs. But she also wondered if this was her imagination since on the outside, it looked like every normal cabin in the woods but on the inside was full of magical foods that satisfied her tastebuds. "How was this possible?", she thought to herself but her enjoyment of chocolate and mint kept her blinded from the fact that this house was used as bait to lure little kids. Someone vile, someone who has no remorse and mercy, no compassion or empathy, lived in this very unusual cabin. It was not a human nor an animal, it was a spirit that could change into any form it wants. And during this time, it changed to the little girl's mother. As the little girl fell for the trick, week by week that spirit would suck the life out of her slowly and leaving her skeleton on the floor. The bones were used as a treasure hidden below the house where underneath all that savory goodness was a place full of little souls.
“The barn was so alive with all of the pigs inside.”

Explanation:
An argumentative essay unlike verbal arguments are meant to be logical, reasoned, detailed and supported by evidence.
Argumentative writing by definition is a piece of research that brings evidence to supports its main point.
Based on the above definition, <u>deduction, comparison contrast, analogy, cause and effect </u>and <u>syllogism </u> are the most commonly used in argumentative writing.
The main component of argumentative writing is the use of logic and comparison. There is little or no use for emotional appeal or inductive reasoning in argumentative writing.
