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

experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means.
Often, a piece of writing will have more than one theme.

just as shallow as the T.V. sitcom. In order for writing to be
meaningful and lasting, it needs to have a theme
