Theme: arriving at an understanding of what the author is saying about the subject or subjects.
Literary Devices:
Characterization: how the characters think, feel, and act?
1. Values-what people, places, or things, are most important in the character's life?
2. Feeling-what emotions does the character feel most strongly?
3. Goals- what are the character's greatest hopes? What do they want to accomplish?
4. Problems-what other character's or circumstances are keeping the character from achieving his or her goals?
Conflict: central source of tension/drama
1. Character vs. Character
2. character vs. society
3. character vs. nature
4. character vs. self
*does LOTF conflict/s fit one of these? * can you state the central problem/s of the story?
Theme equation=subject=what's the author saying+how are they saying it? This contributes to identifying the theme, but then you need to decide what you think about that theme.
