Would like to see if I have translated these sentences correctly. Thanks.

Firstly, this essay will look at the main characters, then finish by looking at language and structure.

Premièrement, ce essai regardera les personnage du texte, puis finira en regardant la langue et la structure.

The use of quotes strengthen the author's view because they help give proof to what he says, making his article more convincing and effective.

L’utilisation des exemples renforcent la vue de l’auteur parce qu’ils aident à donner la preuve de ce qu’il dit, rend son article plus convaincante et efficace.

Hello

The first one :

Premièrement, cet essai regardera les personnages principaux, puis finira en regardant la langue et la structure.

1) "ce" becomes "cet" in front of a masculine name beginning with a vowel or some "h".

2) and I think that "main character" is a "principal" character but I am not sure.

3) I don't see the word "texte" in English (the syntax in French is right with "du texte" but will be better like that "principaux personnages du texte" if you want to keep "du texte").

3) I don't know what kind of translation you want, but we don't use the word "regarder" for un essay, but the word "étudier"  so the sentence becomes

Premièrement, cet essai étudiera les personnages principaux , puis finira en étudiant la langue et la structure.

The second :

L’utilisation des exemples renforcent la vue de l’auteur parce qu’ils aident à donner la preuve de ce qu’il dit, rendant son article plus convaincante et efficace.

"quotes" is really "exemples" ?
