them.

2. Make sure you have a least one piece of evidence to support your
point.
Action (What is the character doing?)
Speech (What is the character saying?)
Thoughts (What is the character thinking?)
Appearance (How does the character look?)
Background story (What is the characters history?)
Does the narrator say anything about the character?

Include a ........ quote; an example taken directly from the book.

Example
Jane Doe is the main character. She is a 14 year old girl, and lives by
herself in the wild. While she is courageous, she often thinks only of
herself. This is most obvious when she decides to leave her sister in the
woods by herself rather than risk getting injured helping her back to
the base. The reader can see this in her thoughts in chapter 4. I felt a
little guilt leaving her there but knew that I was by far the best chance
we had if I could only get back. My sister would just have to wait. This
quote shows how Jane was willing to sacrifice her sister if necessary.
She is brave and independent but kind of cold hearted, too.
