Question

what is wrong with saying the theme of a story is love? (kcs.ela.11 - 12.lit.3a) stories do not have themes, they only have a main idea. a theme can only be negative, it is the problem within the story. a theme should be more than just a word, it is a message or deeper meaning. nothing, love is a common theme in most short stories and poems.

Explanation:

A theme in literature is a deeper message or meaning, not just a single - word concept like "love". It often explores how love affects characters, relationships, and the overall story arc. A more appropriate theme statement would be something like "The power of love can overcome great obstacles" which conveys a message.

Answer:

C. A theme should be more than just a word, it is a message or deeper meaning.
