Ask yourself these questions: Who is the character I’m describing? What do I think about his or her personality and why?

Describe what the person means to the novel and how he or she has been acting up until the point you’ve read. How do those actions make you feel? Try to describe them as carefully and detailed as possible and relate them to quotations/give examples from the novel.
