Which of the following describes a theme and not a topic? (5 points)

bravery and being afraid

struggle and endurance

obstacles make us stronger

winning became sam's goal

Obstacles make us stronger is a theme.  A theme is the life lesson the author tries to teach his or her readers.  A topic is like what the story is about.  For example, a movie can have different topics.  An example of a movie topic would be action, comedy, or romance.  A theme could be like the tortoise and hare, slow and steady wins the race.  A book or movie could be about bravery and being afraid, or struggle and endurance.  The last answer, Winning became Sam's goal, is not a topic nor a theme.  

And to be honest, obstacles make us stronger sounds like that one song what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
