Writing about fiction

Writing about fiction:

When reading fiction you need to look for interwoven meaning and the complexity of the theme. Several methods can be used to track fiction these include highlighting, using the margin for notes, keeping a notebook about questions and main points and looking back over the reading. These techniques can help you when you start your summary.
When writing a summary you need to not just retell the story or over generalize it. To develop a thesis about fiction you need to read the information carefully. Choose an idea that can be supported by the material.
Drafting your essay is a process. When starting a draft the writer can use a number of helpful techniques these include free writing about the material, reviewing what you have read to identify important evidence, researching what others think about your topic and evaluating the materials you have gathered.
Quoting, to make a particular point and paraphrasing in your introduction and conclusion are additional techniques writers use.
I liked the points made about the complexities of fiction. The plots are often interwoven and it is important to makes notes about the different characters so that you can fully understand who they are and their relationship to the whole work.
