Characterization

How do we define character?

  • Descriptions
    • physical
    • personality
  • Interactions with others
  • Influence on others
  • Points of view
    • values
    • beliefs
    • how they see the world
  • How they speak
    • tone
    • speech patterns
    • body language
    • language they use
  • What others think
  • Back story
    • childhood
    • explanations for their current state
  • Actions

In class we read the original Grimm Brothers version of "Cinderella" which you can find here.

To write about characterization in the story, you chose a character then selected three details about then.  In a paragraph you explained each detail then reached a conclusion about the character.
