True:
- Themes are observations about life.

False:
- Themes and topics are the same thing. (Topic = subject; theme = the text’s message or insight about that subject.)
- Examples of themes include loyalty, corruption, and greed. (Those are better described as topics or thematic subjects; a theme is usually a statement about them, e.g., "Loyalty can blind people to others' faults.")
