Use complete sentences, and whenever possible, include the use of the past perfect (had + past participle) and adverbs to demonstrate your understanding of grammar and narrative structure.
Reflect on the events of the story, the characters' decisions, and the possible causes or consequences of their actions. Explain your ideas clearly, creatively, and coherently. Your responses should not simply repeat information from the text, but interpret, imagine, and justify your answers based on the story.
