Dance Lessons with SalsaCrazy
What is the lesson or theme of the story dance of sisters by Tracey Porter?
my teacher wants me to do a book report and i don’t understand it
i have to find the lesson or theme of the story and find out how the author revealed the lesson or theme to the reader.
if you can help me this would be great
As a teacher, I can’t give you the answer. I can, however, point you in the right direction. Theme is the message the author wants to send. The best way to find a theme is to:
1. know your main character
2. find out the main conflict in the story (the conflict is usually how the author tells/implies what they want you to see)
3. Look for things that keep repeating in the story
4. Look at the resolution to the story. What did the main character learn? How can you generalize this? That, my friend, is your theme.
It takes some practice, but it’s not impossible.
