Question

1. what is wrong with the following theme statement? choose all that apply. you should never go out into the woods alone because it’s dangerous and scary. it contains an absolute. it addresses the reader using “you.” it uses figurative language. it doesn’t relate to the story’s topic.

Explanation:

The word "never" is an absolute. In literature, themes should be more nuanced and not overly - definitive. Addressing the reader with "you" makes it more of a command than a general theme statement. There is no figurative language. Since no story is given, we can't say if it relates to the story's topic, but the first two issues are clear problems.

Answer:

It contains an absolute.
It addresses the reader using "you."
