How do you know to use identify instead of analyze in one of those spots

My apologies for the confusion. To clarify, in the phrase "To determine the purpose or what the story is about," we use "identify" instead of "analyze" because identifying the characters, plot, and setting helps us determine the main idea or purpose of the story. However, in the phrase "to determine the theme," we use "analyze" as analyzing the characters, plot, and setting helps us understand the underlying message or theme the author is conveying.
