Again, #6 should solve one of the points you listed on #5. Be sure to explain how it does this! Every story leaves you with one question.

Should be in the same order that it happens in the book. Only choose main events. Be very specific. I take away points if you are vague!

The characters always learn something in the book. If not the book would not have any plot. Try to figure out what the character learned and why it helped him/her.

Theme

Theme: Three Little Pigs Hard work is important and better in the long run, even if it takes longer to accomplish your goal.

Theme: Frozen Accept yourself for who you are. When you accept yourself others will too.

Theme A theme will never include anything I cannot apply to my own life. You cannot be so specific to the book that it does not apply to me. In other words saying: “Don’t ever trust a vampire” is not a theme because I cannot use it in my life. This is your chance to teach me something I can use in my life.
