Hello, My Name is Theme and I am a Literary Device..

Theme is one of those tricky literary devices that always makes my brain hurt too much because I over analyze and think too much.  Sounds like me, right?  Well unfortunately we talked about theme in my English class and let me tell you my head still hurts.  Theme is a touchy subject for me.  I feel like I'm one of those people that tries their best to analyze a story and come up with the great theme for the story and ultimately  fails at it. 

Theme and I have had some rough patches but I can see a sliver of light at the end of the tunnel.  It's really sad because I try so hard to make my theme analysis as good as it can be but then it just flops.  But now that I actually took notes and actually focused on the dreadful subject, I see a bright future for me and theme.  

I don't know if it was actually the principles that helped me understand theme more but what I do know is that once it was explained to me, I could understand it and actually do the work a lot easier.  Now all I have to do is come up with a subject of theme for stories...  which will not be fun since that's that part that I don't ever agree with.  

As of right now, theme is still a mystery to me.  I understand it but it's still like another foreign language to me (which may I might add really sucks to learn).  I hope that when this is all over, I can easily identity and come up with awesome theme sentences but until then theme and I have a lot of strapping in to do because it's going to be a bumpy ride to the finish line.
