(3) Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Theme and Genre. Students analyze, make inferences and draw conclusions about theme and genre in different cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts and provide evidence from the text to support their understanding. Students are expected to:

• (A) infer the implicit theme of a work of fiction, distinguishing theme from the topic;

• (B) analyze the function of stylistic elements (e.g., magic helper, rule of three) in traditional and classical literature from various cultures; and

• (C) compare and contrast the historical and cultural settings of two literary works.
