What do I do to find the key points (at least 6 points) for a book

Question

I have a project in reading about Authors and Autobiography and I need help with finding the key points in my book, it’s an autobiography by Jerry Spinelli (knots in my yo-yo string). If you read the book, can you give me at least 6 points, if not you can just tell me how I find key points of a book. Thanks!! Since the project is due tomorrow, can you try to reply fast please? Thanks again!!!

Answer 1

A neat trick is taking a look at the first sentence in some paragraphs. Not every single one, but some of them are topic sentences for bigger ideas in the book.

When they ask you for key points, they are asking you what you learned, what are some big things you now know? Biggest difference between just some random new fact and a key point is it's going to be important to the whole story. So not something like his favorite color was blue, but more like he loved to do this hobby (especially if that hobby had something to do with his career later on).

Answer 2

Hi Amen,

To find key points of a book in general:

*Carefully follow the plot, setting, main characters, theme, and conflicts arising within the book to see if they remain consistent, or if there are any unexpected (setting) shifts, (plot, theme, or main character) developments, or (plot or conflict) twists within the book's storyline in that literary regard.

*Once you find exactly where, when, how, why, and under whom different important moments in a book's storyline occur throughout the overall context, make note of them mentally and in writing so that you can keep them in your notes and in the back of your heard for near-future literary correlations as you continue reading the book from cover to cover.

*Also, if there are any points/moments that stand out to you specifically as you read along, make note of them and include them in your written summary/book report accordingly, in addition to explaining how and why those given points/moments stand out to you.

I hope this helps! Good luck with your project, Amen!
