Tips on answering novel questions

USE THIS FORMULA -  I. M. E.  J.

 I -  IDENTIFY WHAT THE QUESTION WANTS.

M -  MAKE A STATEMENT 

 E -  ELABORATE ON THE ANSWERS.

 J -  JUSTIFY THE ELABORATION BY GIVING TEXTUAL EVIDENCE FROM 
        THE NOVEL.

Example:

–Write about an incident that changes the life of a character in the story.  Give evidence to support your answer.

     Identify - 

                    i.  The character - Rudolf Rassendyll

                    ii. The incident - The first meeting with King Rudolf V, Sapt and 
                        Fritz.

     Make a statement -
                    An incident that changes the life of Rudolf Rassendyll in the 
                    story is when Rassedyll meets King Rudolf V, Sapt and Fritz for 
                    the first time...

     Elaborate -

                    Answer the questions - Where, When and What happened?

     Justify -   

                   Answer the question - Why do you say so? using the evidence 
                   from the text

REMEMBER: 

The answer should be in the present tense. But if you answered in the past, make sure that all must be in the past tense/time.
