"Theme"

At first, I thought theme was something related to the story but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, theme is a central idea or insight about life and human nature the gives a story meaning. Some themes are universal, which means that they are commonly found in the liture of all culture and age. Themes can be found in all genres of literature; the five main genres of literature are board statement that applies to or covers many individuals, experiences, situaton, observations, or tests. Since I now understand theme, I can find the theme of my favorite movie. My favorite movie is Madagascar. The theme of this movie is that they were all best friends and nothing could come between the but they have there ups and downs. On my theme pretest, I was below grade grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at grade-level.
