@aideenspages: Class is in session 🍎🔔 today we are breaking down Themes in Literature. What is a theme, how do we find them, and how can they enrich our reading experience? I mention themes in novels a lot but it is important to note that themes are present in all literature, movies, songs, and other forms of media. In this video, I break down how themes work in literature, how we uncover them through characters, conflict, and patterns—and why they matter. I also touch on East of Eden as an example of how a novel can explore big ideas without ever explicitly spelling them out. Literature isn’t about finding the “right” answer; it’s about learning how to ask better questions. Themes aren’t hidden messages you have to hunt down. They’re ideas that emerge when you pay attention. 💌 🔎💭 #books #englishteacher #theme #literature #BookRecommendations
