    Theme is a lesson or moral that you can find throughout a story. In this short story “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi”, by Rudyard Kipling, the theme really stands out to me. Mr. Kipling clearly states that the theme is, size doesn’t matter. Just because you’re small doesn’t mean you can’t win against a larger person. In this story, Rikki is petite compared to the two cobras and he is able to get rid of both of the cobras. This proves that size doesn’t matter. However, I can see where people may think the theme

The quote written by Ray Bradbury explains how science fiction is just an idea, but eventually that idea changes everyone. The idea that seemed impossible

I wrote the story to be “soft science-fiction,” to focus primarily on the story itself, with the scientific elements simply helping to flesh out the setting more fully.

    After a discussion in class, the professor and students acknowledged a concise meaning for the definition of theme. The literature class concluded that theme can be defined with three aspects. First, it can be used in the form of being implicit or insinuated. This means it is rarely acknowledged and masked by the author’s words. Second, it can be used as explicit or instantly recognizable. For example, when Silko says that Teofilo is dead, he openly states it in the work. Lastly, the theme is the
