Character study bubble map

A character-study bubble map helps a reader separate what a character is like, what drives them, and how they change. The central bubble identifies the character, and the surrounding branches hold observations that can become evidence in a response. This structure is useful before drafting because it keeps ideas connected without deciding the order of paragraphs. Replace the general labels with details from the text when analysing a specific character. Add a quotation, scene, or page reference beside each observation in your notes, then test whether the evidence supports the claim. The map can also reveal where a response needs a clearer explanation of motive or change.
