The book review is a quite short but it doesn’t matter much because it still grabbed my attention. This time less is more. I like it a lot.
You have done good !
The character analysis is really good. There is enough about the plot, not too much. You have also used words that are mostly easy to understand. Of course, there could be a little more about your character Raul. For example you could have written why does Raul enjoy that there is not grown-ups on the island. You could also tell your opinion of the character. Also I didn’t notice any quotes, there could be some, in my opinion.
The video of the book helps me to understand the book more. It also makes the analysis more many-sided.
The mind map tells a lot of your character in detail. And you have used your mind map well.
I like the fact that you have used colours in your text, it grabs my attention.
There is one mistake in the grammar. You have written “He is very take caring person,” but I think you wanted to say “he is a very caring person.” Your challenging words are really difficult so it’s really good that you have translated those. But to be precise there’s only 9 challenging word, so one is missing. I don’t know if you just knew the rest of the words and that’s the reason why you didn’t put more but I just wanted to point out because if it was a mistake.
All in all, I think your analysis is excellent and I enjoyed reading it. And it really seems that you also enjoyed reading the book.

Contents: Very good
You really worked on this to make it more of a character analysis and you succeeded! This is focused and smart. A few quotes might have livened the text up a bit and the last paragraph could be slightly longer, summing up your thoughts on Ralph. Also, conjunctions (nevertheless, however, first-second-third, despite the fact that, to sum up etc) might have made the text a bit mire fluent. All in all, well done!
Media / appearance: Excellent
You found a cool video! and everything else looks fine and dandy, too
Grammar: Good
- start to live
- when they need IT
- Piggy leaves
