Can you spot the theme in the books you are reading? One clue to the
theme is to identify the main character’s biggest fault. Micah in Hags
has issues with unresolved anger. He has other issues like a defeated
outlook at the beginning of the story. For fun, watch how Micah’s
personality becomes stronger as you move forward in the plot. What theme
does that point to? How about a message like “forgiveness makes you
stronger.” Or “don’t let adversity get you down.”
Another way to look at theme is to consider your own life.
What
is the thread that runs through your world? You may want to start with
your biggest fault. Or your biggest disappointment. Or that thing that
keeps happening over and over again to you. Why do you suppose that
keeps happening to you? There’s a theme in your life. The good news is
it is not too late to change the theme or make it work for you instead
of against you. Ask a few trusted friends about the theme they see
running through your life. What themes run through the lives of your
friends?
