Character development plays a vital role in stories to create a developing plot. In many books, it is common to see a relationship between two characters blossom as the story progresses. Evidence of this can be seen in The Birchbark House between two main characters, Omakayas and Old Tallow. From the beginning of the story, Omakayas feels a sense of connection with Old Tallow, but she is not able to pinpoint what exactly makes that connection between the two so strong. Through life experiences, maturity, and a sense of affection, Old Tallow and Omakayas’s relationship grows continually throughout the novel.

As I got deeper into the book, I realized that Andrius, a boy that wasn’t really a good influence. But, then later on these two characters fell in love with each other not leaving each other’s side until the day of the removal of people.

As far as the story's comprehensiveness, think of it as topics: grit and astuteness; grandness and fortune; destiny and provision; dependability, retaliation and quarrel; and, abhorrence and beasts. A component confronted through foes (with respect to war, and in writing/film) incorporates shrewd, fighting and now and then in some shape a "creature".

There is a veracious unity of Time, Place and action in the book though some reliable distractions have provided it a different level to our ‘willing suspension of
