Step 1: Read carefully, annotate. Look for details, main characters, and important facts.
Step 2: Understand how characters relate. Identify the problem. Think about how the characters are used to relay a message.
Step 3: Think about the context/ background of the story. What's going on? Why? How do the characters affect the situation? Specific immediate context and the bigger picture. Look or clues before and after?
Step 4: Try to answer the problem based on the the information you found out. Why?
Step 5: Relate the background to a current situation. Make it applicable to something happening now. Why is it the way it it?
