It shows character physical description, personality, and makes most choices/actions throughout the story clear. A few spots could have been more detailed or been better explained.	Advanced Character analysis is detailed. It's clear how the character changed/grew from their choices/actions throughout the story.

Advanced Identified ample important text evidence, included the page # in the text and why the evidence was relevant to the summary/character analysis.
