I think "Friendship" is a broader theme with more possibilities than
"Friends help out in hard times." :-)

When I think about the theme of a book, I think of something like,
"Friends help out in hard times." I do not think just "friendship,"
but I know that some people would give one word for a theme of a book.
Which is more interesting to you, the word or the sentence?

Beverlee,
If there is a group that can help me push my thinking, this is it. I'm
pondering
your suggestion that sentences are needed to describe themes. That is
an
interesting idea. Does the sentence narrow the concept, or does it
broaden it?
I wonder if I struggle with this because our standards are given to us
in bits
or because I am not thinking globally? I always thought I was a big
picture kind
of person, maybe I'm mistaken. I can see how things tie together, and
have
developed projects that are integrated, but struggle with the label.
