○Who had written the poem and why?

○Why had someone made notes in the book (if you wrote that)?

○How did the animal become a monster?

○Why was the monster in the basement?

● Try to make you explanations a bit unexpected. It still has to connect with the things you have written earlier. The reader should think: Aha, I should have understood that.

● Read all your chapters and feel free to add or change to make the explanations in the end both tricky and yet reasonable.
