Does the dialogue/dialect move the story forward and reveal character?

Dialogue/Dialect Does the dialogue/dialect read naturally? Does the dialogue/dialect move the story forward and reveal character? Do the characters have their own individual, consistent voices? What does the character’s dialogue tell us about the character(s)? Consider why the author makes the choice to have characters speak as they do. Is the dialogue problematic (patronizing, stereotypical)? Is dialect used well? Why do you think the author chose to use/not use dialect? Characterization Are the character’s actions appropriate for his/her role? Are the actions of this character sufficiently motivated? Is the main character(s) multi-dimensional, showing a range of emotions appropriate to conflict? Does the main character come alive for the reader?
