A 'Memory Moment' occurs when a character recalls a past event, providing insight into their thoughts and feelings.

Identifying signposts helps readers grasp the deeper meanings and themes in the text.

You should ask, 'How does this change things for the character or story?'

It provides clues about recurring themes or important ideas in the story.

A reader can infer the character's background, motivations, and how past experiences influence their current actions.

'Aha! Moments' often lead to important life lessons that the character learns throughout the story.
