CHARACTERIZATION • EVERYTHING THAT MAKES UP A CHARACTER • THE MAIN CHARACTER IS THE PROTAGONIST • THE CHARACTER IN CONFLICT WITH THE PROTAGONIST IS THE ANTAGONIST
THE READER LEARNS ABOUT THE CHARACTER BY: *The character’s speech (what the character says) *The character’s actions (what the character does) *Other characters’ comments or thoughts (what others say) *What the author tells the reader
CHARACTERIZATION CAN BE: • DIRECT (the author states what the character is like) • INDIRECT (the reader draws conclusions based on what is said about the character, the character’s speech, the character’s actions)
A CHARACTER CAN BE: • ROUND (the character has many identifiable traits) • FLAT (the character has only one or two identifiable traits) • DYNAMIC (the character develops and changes) • STATIC (the character does not change)
