One of the most important aspects of any book review is character development. Your teacher is even interested in how well you understand the characters and the roles they played. There are two kinds of characters in literature; these are dynamic characters and static characters.
Dynamic characters change or evolve as the story progresses, while static characters stay the same. So in your book review, select two or three of the main characters in your book and draw a chart for each of them. A good way to identify character change is to write down several early traits (eg, loyal, naive, deceitful) that are noticeable in the character and then clearly track those traits throughout the book.
After the introduction, proceed to describe what you discovered in the charts. A good question to ask yourself is, “What are their tendencies in the beginning? And what change can you see in it, especially towards the end?
