Answering Literature Questions
• The purpose of answering literature questions is to show the teacher you have understood and thought about what you’ve read.
• Even though the teacher has also read the story, your answer should be clear and contain enough detail that someone who is not familiar with the story could understand your points.
![Page 12: E10 oct6 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55932e6d1a28ab95548b457d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to Answer Literature Questions
• Write a clear opening that reflects or restates the question.
Ex:
Q: How does Sherrie Beattie give credit to her parents?
A: Sherrie Beattie gives credit to her parents by . . . .
• Use the author’s name or the story or article’s title the first time you mention him/her/it.
(After that you can use “the story,” “the author,” “he,” “she,” etcetera.)

How to Answer Literature Questions
You should write in the present tense, as if the story is still going on, or the writer is still writing it.
Ex: When Beattie says that . . . Ex: When Miriam skips class, she feels guilty . . .
Exception: when you need to explain the relationship bewteen different events in the story.
Ex: Carl wants to take revenge on the man who killed his wife.

How to Answer Literature Questions• You should explain your answer using your own words,
paraphrasing the events and details of the story that support your opinion.
Ex:
NOT: Beattie says sometimes she triumphed and at other times fell flat on her face. (writer’s exact words!)
BUT: Beattie says that when she did things on her own she experienced both success and failure.
• Occasionally, you may quote short phrases of the author’s words.
OR: Beattie says that she sometimes succeeded in doing things on her own but other times “fell flat on [her] face.”
