Neither of those statements is true regarding the theme of a literary work.
1. **Authors typically state the theme word-for-word at the very end of the text** - This is not true. Themes are generally implied through the narrative, characters, and overall message rather than explicitly stated.
2. **A theme is a concise description of the plot events in a story** - This is also incorrect. A theme is more about the underlying message or insight into human nature and life that the author explores through the plot and characters, rather than a summary of the plot events themselves.
In summary, themes are broader concepts or messages that a literary work conveys, often interpreted by readers rather than stated outright.
