You may need some time to read the poem once more. Which question is difficult for you to answer? Why? If you found it hard to identify the theme of the poem, you need to know the steps in identifying the theme of literature. Below are some discussions which will help you familiarize the steps in identifying themes. 5 The Literary Element of Theme Theme is: • the central, underlying, and controlling idea or insight of a work of literature. • the idea the writer wishes to convey about the subject—the writer’s view of the world or a revelation about human nature. Theme is NOT: • expressed in a single word • the purpose of a work • the moral • the conflict Identifying the Theme in Five Steps To identify the theme, be sure that you’ve first identified the story’s plot, the way the story uses characterization, and the primary conflict in the story. Use these steps to determine the theme for a work: 1. Summarize the plot by writing a one-sentence description for the exposition, the conflict, the rising action, the climax, the falling action, and the resolution. 2. Identify the subject of the work. 3. Identify the insight or truth that was learned about the subject. • How did the protagonist change? • What lesson did the protagonist learn from the resolution of the conflict? 4. State how the plot presents the primary insight or truth about the subject. 5. Write one or more generalized, declarative sentences that state what was learned and how it was learned. Sources: • • https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-identify-book-theme-739101 https://www.softschools.com/examples/literary_terms/identifying_theme_examples/ 425/ Were you able to follow the steps in identifying the theme of a literature? Can you now identify the theme of the poem “Drowned”? If not, here are additional information on identifying themes. Note this example: A fifteen-year-old boy in an American suburban high school, who has not made the basketball team, knows the experience of disappointment, but so does a seventy-year-old grandmother whose family does not come home for the holidays. Each character’s story might detail the events of how they move from disappointment to contentment. These stories have a similar theme. Even though the details of the story are expressed differently, either scenario could 6 express the theme of overcoming disappointment and hurt – yet, each in a unique way. Could you connect with either of these characters? Why? Get into the habit of asking how and why questions as you move through the details of a literary selection. Furthermore, certain themes can be understood by people regardless of age, gender, geography, or culture. This commonality makes them universal. Universal themes developed in a story, poem, or play ultimately expand the reader’s knowledge of being human by the expression of experiences through different perspectives. Common themes can include: loneliness, oppression, repression, transformation, good versus evil, struggle and accomplishment, death, rebirth, initiation, redemption, and free will. With a specific purpose in mind, the author carefully crafts themes using literary tools. By employing literary tools, the author embeds the theme or meaning into separate elements that make up the totality of the literary piece. Some of the most common tools of the author’s craft are: character development, setting, mood, plot, point of view, figurative language, allegory, symbolism, and irony. A poet might additionally use: alliteration, metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personification, rhyme, and repetition. The careful examination of these tools is a part of literary analysis. You have to observe how the tools are being used individually, and by critically thinking about how they relate to one another to construct the expression of theme, you have to push beneath the surface details to discover the literature’s deeper meaning. Just as a scientist examines a specimen to prove a hypothesis, the literary analyst has a thesis to prove. Like a scientist who methodically examines separate aspects of a specimen such as its appearance, movements, and responses to environmental factors, you are expected to make careful observations of the individual parts of a literary piece. This examination takes time and concentrated effort. To uncover themes and meanings, you have to begin the analysis by making verifiable observations, like a scientist, through careful reading. Observations that are verifiable are those that can be pointed out and agreed upon by others. These observations are the raw data of literary analysis; they are objective facts. Objective facts are the third person accounts that indicate who is doing what in the story or poem. They establish the when; they confirm the where. They recognize interesting key words and repetitions. They record character dialogue, and they note specific devices used by the poet. Keep in mind that the author made a decision about each 7 of these objective elements. Your role as a reader/analyst is to determine why these creative decisions were specifically made. At the same time, it is very important that you pay attention to the personal thoughts and emotional reactions that surface when you are reading the details of the poem/story. This type of information is subjective. Subjective information arises while experiencing the literature. Subjective information is the thoughtful first person “I think, I feel, I know” responses that come from your background of knowledge and personal experience as the reader. These subjective responses are valuable for making initial critical connections to the details within the author’s work. Your probing “I wonder why” questions initiate from subjective responses. Just like the tendency to focus only on surface details – don’t make the mistake of only reporting your subjective impressions, reactions, and opinions. To conduct a thorough analysis which results in the identification of themes – surface details, subjective information, objective data, and inferences must all be reintegrated to reveal the big picture of theme and deeper meaning. Why are themes important? Themes are the central focus of literary works. Themes express the intended lesson, conclusion, message, or point of view of the author. Themes connect all the parts of the story such as characters, plot, problem (conflict), setting and events. A theme keeps the writer on point Sources: • • https://www.bucks.edu/media/bcccmedialibrary/tutoring/documents/writingareahando utrevision/literature/Identifying-themes.pdf https://www.quora.com/Why-are-themes-important-in-astory#:~:text=Themes%20are%20the%20 central%20focus,%2C%20and%20event(s).&text=A%20theme%20keeps%20the%2 0writer%20on%20point.

De Guzman (Inspired by the K-drama “Hotel De Luna”) Of all the queries we have in life Of all the things we wonder about One thing is certain we cannot hide Every leaf falls down and dry up But if given a second life This leaf that I am would still become The leaf that existed in your homebound That gave your trunk its love and life. The summer breeze I swayed along The winter snowflakes chilled me alone And left you in an autumn’s blue I waited for spring to come back to you. I’d never wish to be a bug nor a bee I’d never be a lotus nor a waterlily Because this moon tree leaf will always be With its trunk that you used to see.

She wore a loose dress. As she walked towards 3 the well, she let the wind flutter her hemline. She hoped no one would 4 notice her body. 10 5 She carried a jar that she would not fill up to the brim. She was worried 6 that on the way back it might spill on her. And what if the wet cloth would 7 stick on the skin of her belly? And what if somebody would see? 8 Her neighbors were sitting around the well. They were whispering to 9 each other. When she was drawing near, they all hurriedly went away 10 like a herd of sheep that has sensed a crouching wolf nearby. 11 She felt that she could still hear her neighbors’ voices trapped inside 12 the well. Echoing. Bastard. The water rippled from her trembling hand. 13 On the way back, she suddenly became afraid of the stones half-buried 14 on the sand. She wanted to run but she remembered 15 what she was carrying. Theme: Source: Jetomo, Frances Grace.
