Meaning Who is the intended audience? What is the author’s message and how are they trying to get it across? What issues is the story talking about? What was the main idea of the text?

Meaning Did any of the characters learn something or change? Was there a part of the text that stuck out to you? Did you learn something from the text? Was there a lesson or moral to the story?
