Character’s feelings refers to the emotions they express in response to a specific situation. These feelings can change over time.
Making connections allows us to read with the lens of our previous knowledge.
If something has happened to us before, or if we have read about it or seen it elsewhere in the world, we can use those experiences to make connections and understand the information more clearly.
We can think, ‘Because it happened to me this way it must have happened the same way in the story.2
