In 3–5 sentences, explain how a theme of a story is different from its central idea. In your response, include a definition of theme and a definition of a central idea.(4 points)
The theme of a story is the underlying message or moral that the author is trying to convey. It is the lesson that the reader is supposed to take away from the story. The theme is usually implied rather than explicitly stated. A central idea, on the other hand, is the main point or concept that the author is trying to communicate. It is the main focus of the story and is usually stated explicitly.
