The review should consist of an introduction, a summary, and a personal reflection.
These are the instructions that are required from me:
– Introduction: Start your summary by introducing basic facts about the literary work: e.g. the title, the author and the genre.
– Summary: Briefly discuss the setting, the main character(s) and the main events or problems.
– Personal reflection: Discuss what you like or dislike about the story. Give reasons to support your opinion. Consider the following:
What is the author’s purpose for writing the story? Is the author successful in achieving this purpose? How well are the characters developed? How well is the plot structured? Is the action suspenseful enough? Are the events too predictable? What is the theme, or the central idea, of the story? Does the story have a ‘coda’, or a lesson? What is it? Does the story have a ‘twist’, or an unexpected ending?
