Broadly, anything composed of parts arranged together in some way; in language arts, the relationships or organization of the component parts in a literary text. - Text features
Aspects of a (usually informational) text other than the main content: for example, headings, illustrations, charts, captions, callout boxes, excerpts displayed in a larger font for emphasis. - Theme
Central message or abstract concept made concrete through representation in a literary text. Like a thesis, a theme implies a subject and predicate of some kind: for instance, not just vice as a standalone word, but a proposition such as Vice seems more interesting than virtue but turns out to be destructive. Sometimes a theme is directly stated in a work, and sometimes it is revealed indirectly. A single work may have more than one theme. See Main idea, Moral.
