Characterization
DEFINITION: Characterization is the method used by a writer to develop a character. The method includes (1) showing the character's appearance, (2) displaying the character's actions, (3) revealing the character's thoughts, (4) letting the character speak, and (5) getting the reactions of others.
When thinking about who a character is, think about the following:
physical characteristics (or lack thereof),
interaction with other characters,
interaction with his or her environment,
internal thoughts and/or philosophical outlook,
revelations about his or her past, and
dialect or way of speaking.
Authors make specific choices about their characters to send a certain message about who their character is. As you read your books, think about all elements that make your characters who they are.
