Step-by-step explanation:

1) Always include the following elements in any book report:

the type of book report you are writing

the title of the book

the author of the book

the time when the story takes place

the location where the story takes place

the names and a brief description of each of the characters you will be discussing

many quotations and examples from the book to support your opinions

2) A Plot Summary

When you are writing a plot summary for your book report you don't want to simply retell the story. You need to explain what your opinion is of the story and why you feel the plot is so compelling, or unrealistic, or sappy. It is the way you analyze the plot that will make this a good report

3) A Character Analysis

If you choose to write a character analysis, you can explore the physical and personality traits of different characters and the way their actions affect the plot of the book

hope it helps
