2 PowerPoint Makers Less is More The purpose of the PowerPoint is to communicate, not to create cool effects. Backgrounds may be one color All non-title fonts are black. Do not use more than two pictures per slide. No low quality images that are muddled or blurry. The purpose is clarity, not to create art. Transitions and animation should be smooth and not just for effect.

3 Sample Literary Term Theme

4 Definition : Theme A common thread or repeated idea that is incorporated throughout a literary work. A theme is a thought or idea the author presents to the reader that may be deep, difficult to understand, or even moralistic. Generally theme is extracted as the reader explores a work. The author utilizes the characters, plot, and other literary devices to assist the reader in this endeavor.

5 Media Example: Forrest Gump
Fate as Theme Fate is a major theme in Forrest Gump. The feather that begins the film is symbolic of fate and destiny. Tom Hanks interpreted the feather as: "Our destiny is only defined by how we deal with the chance elements to our life and that's kind of the embodiment of the feather as it comes in. Here is this thing that can land anywhere and that it lands at your feet. It has theological implications that are really huge.”

6 Destiny in Forrest Gump
Destiny is spoken of several times in the film. Lt. Dan claims he had a destiny to die on the battlefield, like his forefathers – that fate has preordained his destiny. Momma said that here is no destiny, that life is like a box of chocolates, it is whatever turns up. At Jenny’s grave Forrest considers that maybe life is both, a combination of fate / destiny and plain chance.

7 Original Theme Example
Sci-Fi Story – Richard Corral: The Story of a Man Lost on Mars Theme: Humans need friendship and good relationships with others. When Corral is lost and alone, he is desolate and miserable. Deprived of human company, he finds comfort and companionship with two dogs he rescues from the shipwreck. When Corral rescues a being from another star system this creature is so grateful that he wants to be Corral’s slave. However, Corral prefers him to be a friend. Corral teaches him to speak English and share his religious beliefs. Frank, as Corral calls him, becomes his faithful companion and friend.
