Finding You Own Part of the Novel - Again!

Finding your own part of the novel -

This is the main part that people seemed to throw away marks on last year and, to be honest, I am a little unsure as to why this was.
When people are told to ‘find their own part of the novel’, they seem to go into a blind panic.
However, think about it logically. It is EXACTLY the same as and extract question. The only difference is that YOU CHOOSE THE EXTRACT.
Even if you allow a whole FIVE MINUTES to find the right bit of the book, you should still have more than enough time to answer the question.
We have studied some of the scenes in great detail, and I have given you a booklet outlining the massive importance of FIVE of the scenes in the novel. Therefore, NOBODY should be stuck for a scene to comment on.
Just follow the simple steps:
*Read the question CAREFULLY – What is it asking you to look out for?
*Think of a scene from the book that fits that theme PERFECTLY.
*Spend a few moments FINDING that scene. Give yourself quite a big extract to comment from. The bigger the extract, the more language features you will be able to find.
*Answer the question quickly and concisely using PEE paragraphs.
