Body Paragraph 1: Briefly outline the situation. Who is your character? Why are you interviewing them? When are you interviewing them? What are you attempting to answer through the interview

Body Paragraph 4: Answer the first question you have for your character. The answer should include what the character has said (Quotes from the play) and your interpretation of what the characters answer would be.
The paragraphs above should be very short (no more than 150 words) Don’t forget you are writing a creative, entertainment piece. It is supposed to be fun, entertaining and snappy.

These could just be short quotes that relate to each of your paragraphs.
