Readers Learn Lessons Alongside Their Characters

Today I want to teach you that after a character has resolved a problem, readers ask:

What does the character know now that he didn't at the start of the story?

What lessons can he teach others about life?

Open Ended

What else has Opal learned? Think about Opal's relationships with particular characters. Are there other parts before this moment that hold lessons? What did she start the story needing to learn?

Share your thoughts.
