Detailed explanation-1: -A toad and a lizard learn to get along while on a journey through the wilderness. The sentence above is an example of a. A. plot.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term theme can be defined as the underlying meaning of a story. It is the message the writer is trying to convey through the story. Often the theme of a story is a broad message about life. The theme of a story is important because a story’s theme is part of the reason why the author wrote the story.

Detailed explanation-3: -The central idea, also called the main idea, is a brief, overall summary of what the entire story is about. Typically, we explain the central idea in one sentence. The central idea is different from the theme and the message. It’s the backbone of a story’s plot.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some questions that will encourage thinking about theme are: “What did the author want us to think about?” “What idea stays with you?” “What will you remember about the story a year from now?” Of course, for many texts, there are often multiple themes and more than one way to express them.

Detailed explanation-5: -A theme is an important idea that is woven throughout a story. It’s not the plot or the summary, but something a little deeper. A theme links a big idea about our world with the action of a text.
