What does it mean when your reading a book and one of the questions ask you for the theme?
610608
A theme is a general idea or thought throughout the story. Think of a "themed party." If your party is, say a princess theme, you might ask guests to come in princess costumes and pass out crowns and do other things that go along with the general idea of princesses. It's the same with a lot of books. Many of the characters, places, events, and objects are symbolic and help to express a general idea. Some simple examples are hypocrisy, loyalty, patriotism, and love. Unfortunately, not all themes are this simple. They may be more complex ideas like moral dilemmas or a religious idea. Many books often express more than one theme so it's hard to get that kind of question wrong if you read the book. If you give the name of the book, I could probably help you further.

pick your favorite one and write about how symbolism played a role in the novel, or break down each character in the novel and give each a thorough analysis....ask your teacher for help choosing a topic

Main idea is a statement that summarizes what the entire book is about. Theme is a short statement that gives the overall lesson learned or message. There's only one real main idea (though several ways to state it), but there are many possible themes.

I write books  :-)  Even though they are usually fiction, they all have messages.  They all teach and make people think (hopefully!), in order to make people's lives more enriched and in turn, the world.  (Charyl.blogspot.com)

Do your own homework. If you had a question about one quote where I could believe that you read the play but forgot the context of a single line, I would help you. As it is, you need to do your own work. Them's the rules. \n\nFurther, your questions should read: Can I get what these quotes mean and WHO is speaking to WHOM? \n\nClearly, English is not your favorite subject. But suck it up. You deserve no credit for work you ask others to do for you.

The theme is the main idea of the poem--you could almost say what the poem is about. A poem may talk about frozen birches, but the bigger message is how ice bends the branches, like life bends people sometimes. Here's a good source (below). I am answering this because I love poetry. Only in school does it matter what the theme seems to be. The truth is, a poem means what it means to you personally and that is the truth. Read some modern poets like Mary Oliver, Ted Koozer, Langston Hughes, Dorianne Laux before you give up on poetry.

I don't understand what you are asking.  Can you reword the question?  Do you need a picture?  What is the book about?

I love the one that is a poem about the monster under the bed and hobbes saves the day by just being there (cause the monster didn't know there was a tiger in the bed).  Best Line: "Hey wake up you stupid cretin! Are you gonna sleep while I get eaten!?!?!?"  I'll check my collection books and see if I can find page number for the rest of ya.
