Write a brief summary for each chapter that describes the main points that were mentioned.

Don’t forget to include descriptions about characters and their relationships with each other,

setting (where it takes place on the island) and specific incidents that affect the course of

the novel. If you get stuck, remember ‘who’ ‘what’ ‘when’ ‘how’ ‘where’ & ‘why'. This will then

help you with your essay.
