The central theme of a story is the general idea or insight about the human condition expressed by the author. A theme is a universal and meaningful concept that emerges from the characters’ actions and from the outcomes of conflicts described in the story. Themes are often thought of as the life lesson that the author is trying to teach the reader or audience. While more than one theme can be included in a work of ï¬ction, there is usually one central theme that ties together all of the elements of a story. A central theme is generally expressed in one sentence.
Use a graphics editing tool to create a movie poster that expresses the central theme of the film. If you are a novice at graphic editing, I recommend Adobe Spark because it offers many templates that you can remix to suit your needs. Simply create a free Adobe Creative Cloud account (Links to an external site.). Start the Adobe Spark software and use the poster feature to design an image that would be appropriate for sharing on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
Write a page to explain the central theme and how it is expressed in your social media image. Include concepts from the readings.
