Literature - Novel - Answering Technique

Assalamualaikum wrt

One major worry in answering F3 literature questions will be the novel question. How do you answer them?

well, the most important thing is you must have finished reading the novel. That is very important

The second thing is , make sure you know the five important elements in novel which are character, moral values, themes, plot and setting. All these are actually inter-related.

If you are able to answer the character question for example, you should without any problem be able to answer questions on moral values and themes.

To be able to do that, you must analyse every chapter and find ,for instance, the main characters and his traits. What did he do - the events that happened . Then asked what is the lesson you have learnt after reading the event.That will be about moral values and themes. You have to know the event in detail to be able to answer the literature question. That is why your teacher always ask you whether you have finished reading the novel or not.

If you know the events that happened in every chapter, then you have mastered the plot... the events that happened. When you know the event, you will then realised that you like that character. Then let's say that if the question ask why do you admire that character, maybe you want to say , I like him because he is brave. You must be able to relate the incident that shows he is brave. Tell the story of what happened ... in details.....

The most important thing is , you are able to give reasons and evidence (the details of what happened)..

Thus, in other word, you have to read in order to be able to describe what actually happened in detail.

READ THE WHOLE BOOK... DON'T JUST RELY ON WORKBOOK. WORKBOOK IS ONLY HELPFUL AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED READING THE NOVEL....
