More About theme

Themes have been in stories for a long time. They help us see what the writer thinks. Many old tales have themes like good vs. bad. Kids and grown-ups love these themes.

Themes are all around us. We see them in books, shows, and games. They help us connect with the story. When we know the theme, we enjoy it more.

In the future, themes will keep changing. New stories will have new themes. But some themes will stay the same because they are so good!
