Useful phrases for a summary of a fictional text

[Qusetion.11]

In my next class test I will have to summarize an extract of a fictional text. We learned some "useful phrases" like for example "According to the author...", but the problem is that you can just use these phrases to summarize a non-fictional text. Do you know now some phrases, which could help me by summarizing a fictional text?
