“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.

Answer:

The narrative will change depending on the narrator's tone and point of view.

Explanation:

When planning to write a story, it's important to carefully pick a narrator, because the narrative will change depending on the narrator's tone and point of view.

A narrative's point of view is the perspective from which it is told. The first-person and third-person narratives are the most common, but the second-person narrative is used sometimes, as well. Depending on how much information they have an insight into, narrators can be limited or omniscient. An omniscient narrator is a narrator who knows about all events that take place in the story and about all character's thoughts and feelings. A limited narrator doesn't possess this much knowledge.

The narrator's tone is the narrator's attitude toward or feelings about the events that take place, about the subject.

We can see that one story can be told from many perfectives, which is why it's important to carefully pick its narrator.
