When you are asked this question in an English or Literature class, it is a technique to help you remember the text by making connections. The usual way I suggest students do this successfully is to write in the margins as you read. The best way to do this is to think about the reading. As you read the text, when something makes you think of something else, it's a great idea to write it in the margins, if you are allowed to write in the text. If not, you can simply use post-its or take notes on a separate piece of paper.
After that, if you need to write an essay explaining how it pertains to your life, you can use those notes to see if any of them have something in common. If they connect in some way, this is a great way to come up with your topic.
Hope that helps!
