In essays, there will usually be a thesis that shows the author's standpoint and what the essay will be about. The main idea can also be portrayed through constant repetition of the main idea being brought up throughout the text.

In most stories the problem will teach a lesson. The rising action can teach lessons before the climax begins, like how to cope with the character's background story or environment. 

In nonfiction, the main idea can be in the title, thesis, or maybe even pictures.]]> 2017-08-31 12:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/swhite64/ao0quw389n9y/wish/183923275 https://padlet.com/swhite64/ao0quw389n9y/wish/183923573 Using the main character to portray the main idea/theme.]]> 2017-08-31 12:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/swhite64/ao0quw389n9y/wish/183923573 https://padlet.com/swhite64/ao0quw389n9y/wish/183923650 characters, problem, solution

Motifs usually show up in works of fiction, and they can either be the main idea or support the main idea. Motifs are recurring people, phrases, or objects that correlate with the idea of the book. For example, in the book To Kill A Mockingbird, the mockingbird was a motif that symbolized innocence in Maycomb. It supported the book's main idea of racism!]]> 2017-08-31 13:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/swhite64/ao0quw389n9y/wish/183925593 https://padlet.com/swhite64/ao0quw389n9y/wish/183925684 Authors portray their main ideas by using symbolism through the characters and objects in the story.

This is only for essays though because authors may portray their ideas in many ways depending on the type of text that is being written. Another way that an author may portray their main idea but in novels is by subtly introducing their ideas throughout the beginning of their text through character conversations.
