nothing

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

Lets start with theme

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Theme can mean different things in English.  But this is speaking about a certain theme.

natedawg246813579 · Answer

ok

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Theme is sort of like a topic.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Thus the definition: the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a person's thoughts, or an exhibition; a topic:

natedawg246813579 · Answer

ok can we just slow down

natedawg246813579 · Answer

please:(

Eiwoh2 · Answer

It is a syllable for "subject" or "topic".

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

Do you know what theme is?

Eiwoh2 · Answer

That is just the definition.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

I'm starting off with the definition to help the person understand the rest of the question.

natedawg246813579 · Answer

it is from "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

No its asking you "What is theme"

Eiwoh2 · Answer

No it isn't. I'm not answering the full question.

natedawg246813579 · Answer

hello

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

Its not asking "What is the theme of the story"

Eiwoh2 · Answer

What are the characters in "Rules of game"?

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

natedawg246813579 · Answer

Eiwoh2 · Answer

:\ Well, in order to understand the question, it's good to read it...

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

No no. The theme not in the story the definition of "Theme"

natedawg246813579 · Answer

ok can we come back to this one?

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

Sure.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Once you read the story, sure.

Elsa213 · Answer

I don't think there is an explanation for the definition of `Theme.` >.<
Eventually, you'll have to give a direct answer here.

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

"How do you find theme based on characters’ actions?"

Eiwoh2 · Answer

If you want to understand the question and what is it asking, the story is a good start.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

And thank you, Elsa.

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

I didnt see, plus there was no need for you to be rude.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

I'm not being rude, i am just trying to help while you are accusing me of giving direct answers.

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

Nate the only way you'll figure out the answer is if you read the story v.v

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

Is the story confusing? @natedawg246813579

Eiwoh2 · Answer

I was not being rude, i was trying to help, while you are accusing me of giving direct answers.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Well, as Elsa finely said, there was no "Explanation" to what THEME is. It has a simple definition.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Knowing the definition is needed to actually answer the question. I was only helping. Doing what i was supposed to do.

Elsa213 · Answer

This escalated quickly. >.>
It depends on how you read the reply/statement.
It's difficult to identify the mood or tone of a person. 
However, we must all be respectful and kind.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

They are learning. For example, right now, he is probably reading the story, since he hadn't. But now he knows the definition of theme and what to look for, because the definition is given to him.

Elsa213 · Answer

The asker could be asking because he/she does not understand the meaning of their lesson. o:

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Lol i say again: I WASN'T giving direct answers.

Elsa213 · Answer

Err, taking notes.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

"What is the definition of theme" was NOT the full question.

Elsa213 · Answer

It really just depends on the person. :p

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Exactly. Just like how some people aren't smart enough to know a certain math question.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

So instead of making the person feel dumb by saying it can be answered easily, we help. Bc that's what we do.

Elsa213 · Answer

Err, enough with the argument/discussion. 
Allow the asker to read his/her novel and we can happily answer. :3

Eiwoh2 · Answer

For you, maybe.

ThisGirlPretty · Answer

I will delete my comments and leave.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Because even I  got the answer wrong. Proves that not everyone is smart in the same way.

Elsa213 · Answer

This is becoming a post filled with spam.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

I rest my case.

Elsa213 · Answer

Calm yourself, Eiwoh. o:

natedawg246813579 · Answer

so what did i miss?

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Lol i am calm. Unlike someone here that just wants to prove superior by the loosk of it ^^

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Nothing much. Have you read what you needed to read?

natedawg246813579 · Answer

no i just switched classes

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Oh. Well, i will just recommend you to read the story. That way, you can know the theme (or subject or topic) of the story, and the other contents asked in the question.

Elsa213 · Answer
