important to be respectful and consider
feelings of the person you are talking to.
A message is also the concept
conveyed in a literary text. It also refers
to as the theme or central idea of a
reading text. A message does not
always have to be positive; it can also
be a negative one which may inspire
you to take a better course of action in
order to being out a better result in life.
The theme as the central idea or
message is not only identified once but
may be identified several times in a
literary piece. It is known as the major
theme or message. Ideas that that are
repeated several times in a text is
known as a major theme whereas an
idea that is identified only once in a text
considered as the minor theme.
