Theme
In most stories, the theme is not stated directly, it is revealed through the character's experiences. It is a generalization about life or human nature. Certain types of experiences are common to all people
everywhere.Universal themes come up again and again in literature that can help guide us through our lives deal with basic human concerns-good and evil, life and death, love and loss.
Theme is not a subject it is expressed in a sentence. Sometimes the title gives clues. It applies to the entire work of the story.
I would say that it is the job of those who use the internet research ie such as authors to evaluate the credibility of the information gleaned from there and one way is to identify the source ie to verify it say a magazine that is a legitimate entity by calling it or say by asking someone one knows about the validity of the facts one has gathered to confirm them or at least part of them as a sample to test the validity of the whole information. Checking more than one source is a good idea too to corroborate information if much the same answer is obtained from say 2 or more sources it probably has more credibility.
Yes, thank you, i’ve had a rlly rough year
