part -2:
There is no precise formula that can take you to the center of a story's meaning and help you to articulate it. However, several strategies are practical and useful once you have read the story. Apply these pointers during a second or third reading:
1. Pay attention to the title of the story. It often provides a lead to a major symbol or to the subject around which the theme develops.
2. Look for details in the story that have potential for symbolic meanings. Careful consideration of names, places, objects, minor characters, and incidents can lead you to the central meaning.
3. Decide whether the protagonist changes or develops some important insight as a result of the action. Carefully examine any generalizations the protagonist or narrator makes about the events in the story.
4. When you formulate the theme of the story in your own words, write it down in one or two complete sentences that make some point about the subject matter.
5. Be certain that your expression of the theme is a generalized statement rather than a speci?c description of particular people, places, and incidents in the story.
6. Be wary of using clichés as a way of stating theme. They tend to short circuit ideas instead of generating them.
7. Be aware that some stories emphasize theme less than others. Stories that have as their major purpose adventure, humor, mystery, or terror may have little or no theme.
