<span>C. Theme</span>
Theme refers
to the underlying or overriding idea on which the story evolves. It is the main
idea that connects the details, plot and characters together without which a
story would not be coherent or would have no clear structure. It makes a work
of fiction distinct from a simple news report. A news report may have a series
of events (plot) and people (characters) but you would just be facing a “so
what?” at the end of the rendition. Theme talks about abstract realities in
life that makes the reader or audience feel for and be part of or be affected
by the story.
Hyperbole because “will cost me a fortune” is an exaggeration
