Major Characters
You have written about the main character in your historical fiction; now, write about another major character. This person is not the main character, but they still play a major role in the story. Give the name of this character, their relationship to the main character, and how they are both alike and different from the main character. Also, how do you know that this person is a major character and not a minor character?

Main Character
Write about the main character of the book. Who are they? How are they like you? How are they different from you? Would you choose to be their friend? How do you know he or she is the main character?

Historical Fiction Time Period Setting
What is the setting of your novel? Specifically, what time period is your book set in? Is there anything historically significant about this time period. What is different about this setting from today's setting? More specifically, how is your main character affected differently because they live in this setting instead of living in present day United States? Remember to use specific examples from your reading.
HISTORICAL FICTIONS
Which book did you pick for your historical fiction? How did you come to pick this book? What about it made you think you would enjoy it? How far have you read and are you enjoying it?
