Q & A. Interview. Imagine that you are a reporter who must interview a major character from this book. Write your interview in Q & A format, being sure to include the character's name. Consider the purpose of your interview so that it doesn’t feel like a list of random questions. The interview should be used to explain the character's actions or motivations. In other words, the interview should be an extension of the story, not a retelling of the story. Your final product should include an introduction (the reporter introduces the character and the purpose of the interview), at least 10 open-ended questions, and the character's responses should be fully unpacked (the character should elaborate and use examples, avoiding responses that are short or simple). The character's responses should be consistent with the traits that the author has established.
