Robin brought Magna Carta to Sherwood Forest.
A theme is a universal lesson learned and the central idea is a one-sentence main idea.
- <em>Central idea</em> conveys that the text is about mainly, whereas, <em>theme </em>refers to the author's message, life lesson or moral learned from the story.
- A <em>central idea</em> cannot be referred to as the topic of the text, on the other hand, a <em>theme</em> cannot be same as topic.
- In one sentence, the<em> central idea </em>can be stated, whereas, <em>themes</em> are repeated and can be multiple.
Therefore, a theme is not the central idea, nor it can act as a topic of the text.
Have you ever watched a dull movie? Have you been bored watching the teacher present slides? Well imagine the teacher presenting every single slide, and each slide has over 1000+ words. Yeah, you would be bored. This is why using the main idea in a presentation is needed; it prevents long slides that could take hours to finish, but it shortens the slide to a point where it can be easily understood without unnecessary detail.
