The Lieutenant Reflective Narrative

[Etou]

There's not much resources on this as the study guide was previously focused on conflict and has been changed. I need help with structuring a reflective narrative, what to include etc.
I also need some help with exploring ideas as I feel I do not have enough of a focus, I was told to write about the themes but I thought a reflective narrative was why and how the author wrote the book. I have trouble connecting aspects of the text to this.

Maybe your first decision should be about choosing an aspect of the story that you find most interesting. This might be ideas about conformity or about the use of fear and intimidation, or contradiction on the part of the colonists. The next step might be to choose a character that you want to be your narrator or the central character of the narrative. Check the parts of the text that give you information about them and make a list of these references. These can be handy for incorporating as quotes later on when your piece of writing is more developed. This will also help to strongly connect your writing to the text and show that you have selected and adapted aspects of the original text. Gather some information on social context including googling images of the locations mentioned. You might have already been given some of this background material. Think about the form of your piece - is it a letter or journal entry, an official report. Where does it belong in the sequence of the novel? (Save this idea for comment in your Statement of Intention). For part of your planning, I personally like the idea of a timeline to track the "push factors" that spark change or development in the characters.
