Theme: The main idea or underlying central meaning of a text.
Universal issues in literature/text:
Theme is the message about life... NOT the issue.
The PROCESS for determining THEME:
1. Pick a common issue/ universal issue in literature.
2. Why do you feel this is an evident issue in this piece?
3. What is the author saying/ message projecting about life?
4. Find textual evidence to support the theme that you have determined.
For CLASS:
We have looked at 3 major ISSUES in The Other Wes Moore.
1. Identity
2. Decisions/ Cause and effect
3. Faith/ Redemption
We are going to examine the three issues in The Other Wes Moore and develop them into three THEMES.
1. Write out the issue as a THEME in The Other Wes Moore. "The author believes that . . . "
2. Find 4 specific textual examples/quotes from The Other Wes Moore. Make sure that you collect the citation info (page numbers). PUT THESE IN YOUR NOTES.
