A Book Report Writing Service

The Main Steps of Writing the Book Report

Before we start with the steps you should take, we should describe what a book report is. The purpose of a book report is to summarize the key aspects of a given book, such as the plot, title, author, characters, setting, etc. Unlike what many students think, a report isn't the same as a review, meaning that you don't get to give your personal opinions about the story or book itself.

Now that you know this, here are the steps you should follow to complete the process:

1. Choose a Book

If you haven't been given a specific book, you need to choose one that is interesting or educational for you. As long as you choose a book whose subject is good and appropriate for the classroom, you can choose anything you want.

2. Read It

This is the obvious step - of course, you have to read a book to write a report on it. Reading the summary of it online won't suffice and the teacher will see right through it. Also, skimming the book is not good enough either, since you can't just read several parts you think are most important. To write a great report on a book, you need to read it start to finish, all while taking notes and being completely focused.

3. Take Notes

This step is combined with step two, but it definitely deserves a big explanation. When taking notes, you should answer these questions:

• Setting - where does the book take place?
• Plot - what is the story of the book?
• Characters - who is mentioned in the book? Who are the key characters? What are they like? What are their relationships?
• Themes - What is the literary theme in the book? If there is more than one, how do these complement, harm each other or influence the plot?
• Point of view - who writes the book? Is it written in first person or third person, or perhaps the second person?
• Symbols - are there any symbols used to explain the abstract concepts?
• Events and people of importance

4. Write an Outline

The outline of any paper serves to give the writer an idea of what their writing should look like, as well as help them in the writing process. Make an outline for your report by using the notes you made during the second and third step we describe. Create sections and lists and fit the data into an introduction, body, and conclusion.

5. Craft and Edit the Report

All these steps led to a final goal - to write the actual piece of content and hand it in in time. With the help of what you did so far, you can write your draft. Ideally, you should write the draft by using the outline, but without paying too much attention to the grammar or structure. The following drafts are there for this exact purpose - to make an order out of a messy first draft and edit the report into the best version possible.

Move through all stages while reading and re-reading the drafts. Proofread, edit, and organize several times until the time when you are certain that your report looks just as it should.

6. Format It

You probably think that by writing and editing the report, you are done. However, formatting is always the final step you should pay attention too if you want your paper to fit the instructions given to you by your professor. Look at them again and check - does the format fit the requirements you were given with the task?

Writing a report is different from writing a review, but this does not make it harder or more frustrating. If you know what steps to take, the process is as simple as with any other paper.
