Signposts: Aha Moment

Aha Moment

When you're reading and suddenly a character realizes, understand, or finally figures something out. You should always stop and ask yourself: 

"How might this change things?"

If the character figured out a problem, you probably just learned the conflict.
If the character understood a life lesson you probably just learned the theme.

Let's Practice

Listen and read along with this online version of Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelle
  • Stop and ask yourself, "How might this change things?" 
  • How does your answer to the question help you determine the conflict or theme?
