Explanation:
I'm not sure what exactly you've learned but here's a potential hook:
In today's society, pressure is placed heavily on social media and how one looks or acts on it. Some users may believe that since no aspect of apps like Instagram or Twitter is necessarily face-to-face, no real harm can come of any mistakes made on these platforms. However, the dedication that so many people, young and old alike, place in these apps makes it very nearly impossible for any measure of one's self worth to be independent from the popularity they receive. It isn't the user's fault, these apps are designed to show us exactly what we want to see even if it lowers our self esteem in the process. On that note, bullying over social media has just as great an impact, if not a larger one, than bullying in school or elsewhere. So yes, the things that are posted by yourself on social media should always be treated as seriously as the things you say in everyday life.
This is very wordy and I actually think if you were to shorten parts of it and distribute them to other parts of the essay you may do better!

Context helps build up the plot in a story, leading up to the climax, and following to the end.
Answer:
“Theme is the central message of a literary work. It is not the same as a subject, which can be expressed in a word or two: courage, survival, war, pride, etc. The theme is the idea the author wishes to convey about that subject. It is expressed as a sentence or general statement about life or human nature. A literary work can have more than one theme, and most themes are not directly stated but are implied. The reader must think about all the elements of the work and use them to make inferences, or reasonable guesses, as to which themes seem to be implied.
Explanation:
For example, if love is a topic/subject of two novels, a major theme in one of the novels could be “Love, if taken to extremes, can be negative rather than positive,” while in the other novel, the theme might be “Love can conquer even the greatest evil.” Notice that the topic/subject is the same, but the messages about that topic/subject are different in different works.
