Discuss how the theme is played out in the story, how it might be relevant today.

Drawing a theme from a story is sometimes difficult; however, looking closely at the conflict in the story is usually a key to unlocking one or more themes. You might discuss how the theme is played out in the story, how it might be relevant today, etc. Remember: "analyze" (think critically) and to use pertinent details to support your assertions. Begin by identifying/stating the theme is a complete sentence (see glossary)
