Before Writing
Step 1: Read the text carefully. Mark the words or sentences or write down the lines that give you information about the character(s).
Step 2: Draw a chart that includes columns like situation/position, outward appearance behaviour, words/thoughts, feelings/attitudes, others reactions or if you compare characters similarities and differences and fill in your notes.
Step 3: Ask yourself if the character(s) change(s) during the development of the text and if so, how.
Step 4: Number your notes and group them.
While Writing
Step 1: Write a short introduction in which you present the character(s) and his or her (their) situation.
Step 2: Organise your notes into paragraphs. Every paragraph should deal with one characteristic feature (e.g. friendliness, carelessness, imagination, etc. are all characteristic features).
Present the evidence (words or sentences taken from the text that show that your interpretation is right) taken from the text and comment on it. Dont forget to refer or quote the text.
Step 3: Try to show how the different characteristic features belong together.
Step 4: Write a conclusion that sums up the results of your detailed
After Writing

Du musst auch darauf achten, dass du das innere der Peron und das äußerde Gegliedert auflistest und nicht alles zusammenwürfelst...
Ein Beispiel dazu...
At first Marian’s character is described as very cool and self-confident. He always knows what to say and it seems like nothing can bother him. But in contrast he is very shy and uncertain when he is together with Ammissa. On the one hand he always tries to offend Ammissa and to make her feel bad but on the other hand he protects her when she is in danger. Marian would never admit that he feels so much for her but he couldn’t hide that he is broken-hearted about the fact that she is together with Jasper. Finally his behaviour gets brutal and cold. He feels angry and is impolite to his friends. But in contrast he behaves friendlier toward Ammissa now. Every time when she is with him he feels joyful and happy but he never shows it to her. To sum it up, Marian is a young boy who is confused about his feelings. Marian hides his feelings as good as he can and he always dubs his sensitiveness with a cool and sometimes even rude and brutal behaviour.
Und stell Dir vor, das hab ich ergoolet, viel Erfolg ;)
