What is this asking?

Question

I'm doing a summer book report over "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer and one of the questions asks, "List 5 quotes from the book and explain their significance to the book as a whole."

I understand most of it but can someone give me some examples of what might be good or bad?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The question is asking for the key phrases the author placed in her book in order to convey her whole reason for writing the book. I'm presuming that you've actually read the book so there is no need to go over the book with you.  If you need additional help you can "Google" the name of the book along with the author's name and the words summary/synopses and it will produce a list of links you can review for added insight into what you're looking for.

Answer 2

Okay basically, just pick a quote, like, "In the beginning, everything was normal, until they showed up."

So, that quote was significant to the book as a whole because it informs you that a major turning point in the story or for the story was that event. It completely alters everything that the book was or is about by explaining how it changed.

Hope that helped a little bit.
