THEME The setting, character’s actions, and character’s motivations work together to reveal the theme of a story. The theme usually becomes clear at the end of a story. The theme can be stated directly, as in a fable, or indirectly, as in most folktales and other stories. To figure out an unstated theme, think about what the main character learns or how the problem in the story is revealed.

Practice Theme: When the world was new, Sun married Moon, and they lived happily in a small cottage near Ocean. One day Sun and Moon invited Ocean for a visit.

He brought his sea friends with him: the whales, the fish, the porpoises, and the other sea creatures. The water rose high in the cottage. There was no room for Sun and Moon, so they rose up into the sky where they have lived ever since. Ocean still looks up to the sky at Sun and Moon. He misses his friends very much.
