You have identified a possible topic that could be the correct theme, but you have not made a clear statement, ex. "the value of friendship" - but what is the author saying about the value of friendship

- you've mentioned at least 3 specific events (things people said and did) from the whole literary work that connect to the theme you identified AND you explained the details of the event
ex. what the main character is angry about, what they said and did, and to whom, and why
2 = basic
- You've mentioned 1 - 2 specific events as evidence
- AND/OR You've given vague & general support, ex. the main character was angry - this is too vague, explain what they were angry about, what they said and did, and to whom, and why, and how this supports the theme.
