The Heart of the Story: Discovering Themes

Starts

Have you ever read a story and thought, “Okay… but what does it really mean?” In this 3-part series, we’ll dig beneath the surface of short texts to uncover their deeper messages. You’ll learn how to identify both surface and depth themes, analyze how characters and conflicts develop those themes, and practice expressing your ideas clearly through strong literary commentary. Whether you’re new to literary analysis or want to sharpen your skills, this series will give you the tools to read with insight and write with confidence.
