This week was all about theme. Theme is the central ideas, values, thesis, messages, and meaning of a story. The theme is what connects a work of literature to the real world.
When considering the theme of a work, first see if the title reveals the theme. Themes can also be revealed in a direct statement by the author, or through the actions and personalities of the characters. Symbols and other details in the work can also give us a hint about the theme.
Finding the theme in what I read makes me feel more connected to the work of literature. I can understand the motivation behind the story and why things progress the way they do.
Make sure your speakers are on, because here is the ultimate theme(song)

Speakers were on full blast and yes, you are right. It is the ultimate theme song for that entertaining movie starring my favorite actor....Johnny Depp!! He's a genius.
