At first, I thought theme was just a topic of a story, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, theme is the universal type of story as in what it is about. Some themes are universal, which means that they are based on all ages and cultures. Themes are can be found in all genres of literature; the five main genres of literature are… non-fiction, fiction, myths, drama, and poetry. Since I now understand theme, I can find the theme of my favorite movie. My favorite movie is Friday Night Lights. The theme of this movie is football. On my theme pretest, I was at grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be above grade-level.
