Contrasts & Contradictions (Weird)
When a character says or does something that is opposite (contradicts) of what he or she has been doing or saying all along- STOP and ASK: “Why is the character doing that?” The answers could help you make a prediction or inference about the plot and conflict.

Aha Moment When you’re reading and suddenly a character realizes, understands, or finally figures something out- STOP and ASK: “How might this change things?” If the character figured out a problem, you probably learned more about the conflict. If the character understood a life lesson, you probably learned the theme.
