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
Answer:
Below the ocean’s surface is a mysterious world that accounts for over 95 percent of Earth’s living space—it could hide 20 Washington Monuments stacked on top of each other. But the deep sea remains largely unexplored. As you dive down through this vast living space you notice that light starts fading rapidly. By 650 feet (200 m) all the light is gone to our eyes and the temperature has dropped dramatically. Dive deeper and the weight of the water above continues to accumulate to a massive crushing force. Any light still filtering down has diminished to appear completely black, leaving only animals and bacteria to produce the light found here. By 13,000 feet (4,000 meters), the temperature hovers just below the temperature of your refridgerator. At this depth, we’ve reached the average depth of the deep-sea floor, a place that may start to get a little muddy. The further we dive down from the surface, the less new food is available, making the fight to survive that much more challenging. Despite these harsh conditions, there is life—an astounding variety of creatures that will boggle your mind. You can’t dive to the deep ocean on your own, of course, but scientists have a variety of sophisticated technologies to explore this vast frontier.
