How does one write an essay on character?

You should be able to write a great essay on character if
you try to focus on a few attributes or conditions of why and how the character behaves
in a certain way. A common problem in most student essays about character is that
emphasis is placed not on what characters are like but rather on what they do.
Therefore, the most significant element, no matter what approach you might select, how
they think, what they feel, what others think of the character, etc., is that actions,
comments, and speeches from the character should be introduced only to reveal qualities
of the character being studied. The story materials should never become an end in
themselves, never a retelling of the story.  Whenever it is possible in an essay to
perceive a "change" or "growth" of character, the best essay will be written. Thus an
essay on a character could be organized to reflect the changes in her or his behavior,
appearance, or demeanor. You should be able to write an essay in no time at
all.
