You can also pay attention to the recurring ideas or motifs throughout the story. What elements keep coming up? Those might give you clues about the theme. Also, think about the author's message or the overall feeling you get from the story.

Well, you could start by considering the characters' goals and motivations. What are they striving for? And then think about how that relates to a broader idea or concept. Another thing is to notice any symbols or imagery that seem to have deeper meanings. All these can help you figure out the theme.

One way is to look at the main conflicts and how they are resolved. The issues the characters face and the lessons they learn often point to the theme.

The Story of Dusk

The Story of Dusk

She went to a place she shouldn't visit. She took the path she should not have taken. And… She loves someone she shouldn't love. ******** She was sent to him to retrieve the information, but her fate twisted when she fell for him... *******SNIPPET******* "Luna." She said. The girl’s eyes were so captivating that Xiao Tianyao couldn’t be able to draw his attention away from her, as though something was sucking his soul. “Beautiful…” He kept repeating the same word in his reverie. “… All the palace people from the Kingdom of Xinghe will be sentenced to death.” The eunuch added some information before he ended the decree. Afterward, the soldier from before stepped forward and was about to grab Luna’s hand with intention to drag her away, however, surprisingly Xiao Tianyao held his hand before he could touch her. “Stay away from her.” Xiao Tianyao said coldly. With puzzled expression he inquired his General action. “But, General… the decree said we have to kill her.” “I want her.” He said with finality. “But, Prince Xiao Tianyao your action is against the Imperial decree…” The eunuch retorted. Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything anymore when he helped Luna to stand up, ignoring all of the questioning eyes as he walked away with her in his embrace. Xiao Tianyao unexpected attitude baffled everyone who were presence there. *** “Prince Xiao Tianyao decision can’t be justified.” The Eunuch mumbled. “All of you retreat for now. I will try to talk with The Prince. Leader Feng Chang, follow me please.” Both Feng Chang and the Eunuch rushed into the palace hall to the direction of the Emperor of Xinghe’s room that Xiao Tianyao had occupied. When it was only the two of them, mocking smile appeared on their lips. “Inform to the Emperor that Young Miss Luna will handle it beautifully.” Feng Chang said as he slow down his pace. “Young Miss Luna ability is simply unimaginable.” The eunuch announced it in amazed. He had heard about the mind controller ability to mess with other people mind, but never saw it with his own eyes. Only when he saw Xiao Tianyao was so beguiled by Luna, he knew that the mind controller’s ability was a calamity for their enemies. Feng Chang didn’t say anything when he saw the eunuch gloated face. ********************************************* ##Meet me on instragram : jikan_yo_tomare Disclaimer : cover picture is from pinterest.com Check out my other stories: **PURPLE DUSK TILL DAWN: dearest through the time **The Love of a Lycan

How Can You Call Me a Cheater?

How Can You Call Me a Cheater?

Foo, a bright young man that happens to be a computer genius, who excels in life by taking shortcuts when possible. If life was a game, he would definitely pick the easiest mode. Exams in school? Just read all the books once, and make sure you don’t forget the contents. Looking for a job? Make sure everyone around the boss knows just how perfect you are for the job. Having others bragging about your excellence is more trustworthy and gives plausible deniability. Quiz time? Let me just start my special search engine's voice recognition. Competing in soccer? Aw, how unfortunate, the opposing team 'somehow' got their clothes filled with itch-inducing powder, leading to a walkover. Playing a FPS game? Well, lets just have my own mouse driver software get some headshots while I watch a movie. It’s perfectly legit, as it just speeds up the response time so that it clicks before I even get to the computer. Gambling sites and online casinos? Data-mining, number-crunching and image recognition! By utilizing computer knowledge, solving problems is easy! Some might get jealous, but hey! Just be like me, and use your brains for once! However, in the modern era, the gangsters and other shady businesses are moving their turfs towards the internet and gaming circles. What happens when they realize that Foo was a threat to their profits? Well, no suspense here, they killed him. That’s the end of story... if you are to believe the god that greets him after his death. However, can this story get a fresh new start when Foo somehow ends up in a game-like medieval fantasy world? Or will the lack of modern tools, like his beloved computers or other modern conveniences, cut his story short yet again? ------------------------------ Also, thanks to SageDrunkKitty and Remteldanmarkius for proofreading the synopsis! Any errors still there are their fault! The fact that I might not have listened on them does not automatically make it my fault, okay?
