1. Read; note every detail, look up vague or unknown words.
2. Understanding historical context- research, the time period, politics, society and time period.
3. General Context; who is the audience- who is it directed to or about. if you don't fully understand the parable fully refer to the previous lines.
4. Character Analysis: break down who they are, example behavior/ ask questions of motives and their role in society. who is the main character.
5. Anomalies: unanswered cracks in the story, and ask questions to why those details were put there.
6. Conflict: what is causing the drama. what issue does the parable revolve around/why is the parable told? what is the purpose?
7. Formulate question that unlocks the parable, which opens other doors and clarifies the parable, putting everything together to make sense of it.
8. Application to current event- how does it relate. list connections between the two.
9. Solution- what could we do to help? what should happen in the situation?
