Characterization Practice

Characterization is the process of revealing the personality and traits of a character.

Direct characterization is when the author explicitly describes a character's traits.

Indirect characterization is when a character's traits are revealed through their actions, thoughts, and interactions with others.

Considerate.

Dedicated.

Major characters are the characters around whom a story is centered.

Being considerate means being thoughtful of others' feelings and needs.

Being dedicated means being committed and devoted to a task or purpose.
