  3. Do Now • harass bother Harass has the stronger connotation because implies more harm than bother does 2. awful unspeakable Unspeakable has the stronger connotation because awful can apply a whole range of things, from not so bad, such as a headache, to very bad, such as a car crash.

  5. Characterization

  6. Types of Characters • People or animals • Major characters • Minor characters • Protagonist • Antagonist • Round/Dynamic characters • Flat/Static characters

  7. Characterization • A writer reveals what a character is like and how the character changes throughout the story. • Two primary methods of characterization: • Direct- writer tells what the character is like • Indirect- writer shows what a character is like by describing what the character looks like, by telling what the character says and does, and by what other characters say about and do in response to the character.

  8. Direct Characterization …And I don’t play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I’m a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice, which is how I got the name Squeaky. From “Raymond’s Run” by T. Bambara

  9. Indirect Characterization The old man bowed to all of us in the room. Then he removed his hat and gloves, slowly and carefully. Chaplin once did that in a picture, in a bank--he was the janitor. From “Gentleman of Rio en Medio” by J. Sedillo
