Read this excerpt from The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton.

I had a long walk home and no company, but I usually lone it anyway, for no reason except that I like to watch movies undisturbed so I can get into them and live them with the actors. When I see a movie with someone it’s kind of uncomfortable, like having someone read your book over your shoulder. I’m different that way.
What is a universal theme found in this excerpt?

A.
Belonging to a community is important.
B.
Being alone is not always a bad thing.
C.
Family life is not always easy.
D.
Hard work can overcome obstacles.
My answer is B. Is this right?

Yes, you are correct! The theme of a novel is best defined as the message that the text conveys about a particular topic. It represents the underlying meaning or insight that the author wants to communicate to the readers. To identify the theme of a novel, you can look for recurring ideas or motifs, analyze character development and relationships, and consider the overall message or moral of the story. It's important to note that the theme is not the same as the events that take place in the story (option A), the opposing forces within the text (option B), or the person who drives the action (option D).
