Again and Again
When you're reading and you notice a word, phrase, object or situation mentioned over and over. You should always stop and ask yourself:
"Why does this keep showing up again and again?"
The answers will tell you about the theme and conflict, or they might foreshadow (hints of the future) what will happen later.

- Stop and ask yourself, "Why does this keep showing up again and again??"
- How does your answer to the question help you find the theme or conflict?
