I introduced The Bidlack/Thompson/Anderson Three Simple Steps of Literary Analysis, a tool for discovering the theme of a work:
1. Figure out who the protagonist is, using the four requirements of the protagonist and the PCAM diagram.
2. Figure out how the protagonist changes mentally.
3. From the mental change, figure out the themes.
We practiced the steps with the popular Dr. Seuss story, The Sneetches.
