LIFE, SOCIETY, or HUMAN NATURE

Pieces of the puzzle? Questions to ask yourself:
? Could the title give you a preview of the message in which the author is trying to convey?
? What are the character’s needs and desires throughout the story, and how do they change?

there any conflicts? Are there issues with society ? Are there internal issues?
? Pay attention to cues or motifs. What might they represent? {Does the music in the background mean more than just music?}
? Can you connect to the character’s emotions? Can you relate your own life to the character’s life?
