Daily Notes
“Characterization”
Essential Questions:
1. What is the importance of
using textual evidence in my
writing?
2. How may I incorporate my
textual evidence into my
character/literary analysis?
What does “analyze” mean?
0Analyze: to break down something
into its smallest parts and examine
how the pieces come together;
to examine carefully and in detail
so as to identify causes, key factors,
possible results, etc.
What is a literary analysis?
0Literary Analysis: the practice of
looking closely at small parts to see
how they affect the whole. Literary
analysis focuses on how
plot/structure, character, setting,
and many other techniques are
used by the author to create
meaning.
Characterization
0 a literary device that is used step by step in
literature to highlight and explain the details about
a character in a story.
0 Focus in characterization:
1. Character behavior
2. Thought process of the character
3. Character’s opinions/ideas
4. Interactions with other characters
5. Character’s personality
Types of Characterization
0 When the narrator directly tells us some
useful trait about a character, it is called
direct characterization. (“Jane was a total
slob; Mom needed a bulldozer just to clear a
path to her bed and closet.”)
0 When the narrator indirectly shows us
character traits and we must evaluate and
decide for ourselves the character, it is called
indirect characterization. (“Bryan was too
busy for homework, since football practice took
every afternoon, summer baseball playoffs took
weekends, and his girlfriend Rosie took
whatever was left.”)
2 Types of Characters
0 Flat, static – a stock or stereotyped
character, easily predicted, often seen as
the motivation for the protagonist’s
actions.
0 Round, dynamic – characters that change
or develop throughout the course of the
story; they exhibit a broad range of
personality traits by the end of the tale.

How to do S.A.T.D.O.
