Comprehension Skill: Literary Elements CHARACTER AND THEME
Characters • The people who take part in the events of the story.
Theme • The main idea or central meaning of a piece of writing. The theme is often not stated. You can find it using evidence from the story as clues.
Comprehension Strategy: Inferring Authors do not always directly tell readers everything about the characters, events, and theme in a story. Sometimes you need to infer, or figure out, what is not stated directly.
