For your second topic, you could set out your paragraphs like this:
Describe what the character was like as a person (remember to give a quote for each characteristic and explain how the quote shows that the character had that trait)
State an important idea that the character showed us and explain one time the character showed this idea (you need a quote and explanation again of how the quote shows that the character shows us that important idea)
Explain another time when the character showed this idea (quote, explanation)
You will need an introduction, and a conclusion, of course. Your introduction will briefly state how the character showed us the important idea in the novel.
