What are we learning? • How an author develops and contrasts the points of view of different characters. • How conflict, characterization, and point of view influence a story’s plot. Conflict problems or struggles among different forces that move the action of the story forward. Internal Conflicts that occur within the characters mind. Types Person vs. Person Person vs. Society Person vs. Nature Person vs. Technology External conflicts when the character faces outside forces The Life of a Seventh Grader External -fight with parents before school -fitting in with the “popular” crowd Internal -fear of not being accepted -not wanted to give a presentation Conflict in Literature Let’s Apply It We’ve talked about conflict in story, now let’s talk about the characters. Characterization Characterization-ways in which an author reveals the traits of characters to his/her audience Direct characterization- the author tells the reader about a character. Example: Susan was a robust woman, whose hair was as red as my mom’s homemade spaghetti sauce. Indirect characterization- readers infer facts about a character’s trait Example:Paul didn’t say a word. He clenched his teeth, he throw his bookbag on his back, then stormed out of the room. S. T. E. A. L Speech What does the character say? Thoughts What does the character think? Effect on others Actions How do other characters feel or behave toward the character? Looks How does the character look? How do they dress? How does the character behave? Let’s Practice Indirect Characterization 1. Pick two partners. Brainstorm a memorable character you encountered in a story, movie, or television show. 2. Study this character using S. T. E. A. L 3. A google slides presentation will work well to present your character to us. 4. You should have 8 slides total (intro, S. T. E. A. L, question mark slide, and a slide with a picture of the character and their name). 5. Do not let on to who the character is (be vague but clear) by using indirect characterization. If you have done your job well, we should be able to guess who you have characterized. 6. HAVE FUN! Guess Who! Example An orphan, who’s adoptive parents are powerful and deadly, tries to survive by any means necessary. He has a best friend who suffers from gluttony, but has a big heart. His mentor is protective and sly, but has wisdom greater than the eye can see. Trying to survive with what little he has, he is brave and he has the scars to prove it. Guess Who! Example He/she exudes confidence in every way. They are salty because of their place in their family and turns to their inner demons to feel worthy. He/she loathes their sibling but stops at nothing for the attention of their parents. The shade of money seems to be their most preferred adornment.
