Question

and my teacher ask me a bunch of questions like for example What is the theme of the story but i don't get the question ? i didn't understand the story neither

Answer 1

Here's a decent summary:

Think of the theme as this: What is the hidden message the author is trying to tell me as a reader of his story?
