6. how does a writer express a stated theme? by direct statement by having the characters discuss the theme by ending the story in a way that supports the theme by using symbols and images

by direct statement

Explanation:

The theme refers to the important and reoccurring idea in any text or artistic work. There are two ways by which the writer reveals the theme of the text. One is stated the theme and the other is implied a theme. In the stated theme, the main idea of the text is stated to the reader directly. In the case of the implied theme, the main idea of the text is extracted by studying the characters and events in the text.

in the thematic approach, an interpreter relies on a central theme (i.e., a major point or message) to guide development of a communication activity or device. in presenting the activity or device, the thematic interpreter develops the theme in such a way that it will be highly relevant to an audience.
