The theme is abominations and things that anger God.
The theme of the poem Still Falls the Rain is about the bombing in London on World War II. Although it is a hard topic, it connotes a Christian perspective.
Universal theme is best described as a theme that is repeated within a single literary work. It can be a universal truth or some aspect that is generalizing.
"The Civil War" is a very broad topic - my advice is to narrow it down by looking up some specific events during the war, or some specific ideas about the war. The more you can narrow a topic down, the better your final report will be.
They are not the same
a theme is like a topic and subject of a theme is more specific about the topic.
Similar movies to Someone Else's Child, where the movie has the same theme and topic, would be My Name is Steven. Both of these movies are based on actual events about children.
A theme means a topic i.e= you might do a topic on castles, or the enviroment ect ect....

The theme
A topic is general and a theme is more specific. For example a topic could be BROOMS. A theme would be "Symbolic uses of brooms" Or A theme is a message about the topic. For example, the topic is "brooms." A theme would be "brooms are not as cool as mops."
A topic of discourse or discussion.
The word theme has different meanings depending on how it is used. Broadly, a theme is the main subject of something such as a novel or a topic.
A specific topic of a story, such as love or friendship, can be mistaken for the theme. The theme goes beyond the topic and is the underlying message or insight that the story conveys about that topic. It is the deeper meaning that the author wants readers to take away from the story.
