themes in a book?
i have to write a book report on the emerging themes in a book. (in particular, the book fathers and sons) would someone be nice enough to explain to me as to what themes are? and how i would go about writing about them (i should be writing about 3-6 pages) i would appreciate it if someone helped me out, and if there are any books that i can find at a bookstore that explains it, i would appreciate a link or a name or anything.
thank you!

The theme of the book is simply an idea that flows through the book and states something about life. When you were young, your parents may have read you stories that ended with “the moral of this story is…”
That moral was a theme. A theme isn’t stated outright in grownup books, like it was in those old story books, however. It often appears as a lesson or message that the reader understands by reading between the lines.
And not all themes convey lessons on morality, either. Some books can have a much darker message, and question things like the existence of good in mankind or the good in the world altogether.
There are three themes in this book:
The changing class structure in modern Russia
The natural antagonism between succeeding generations
The contrast between the romantic past and the realistic present
