A sentence that connects an element of a story to its theme typically describes how that element illustrates or reinforces the overarching message or idea of the narrative. For example:
"In 'The Great Gatsby,' Gatsby's tragic pursuit of wealth and status symbolizes the elusive nature of the American Dream, highlighting the theme that material success does not guarantee happiness."
This sentence links the character's actions (an element of the story) to the larger theme.
