Characterization (take notes!) The method used by an author to
develop a character.
Can be done two different ways:Direct characterization- author directly tells
you about the character.○ Ex: “Esmeralda was the most serious student
in school.”Indirect characterization- author reveals
character traits in one of five ways.

Analyze and Discuss
1. What does Mama’s observation that “these old things was just done by me and Big Dee from some tops your grandma pieced before she died,” indicate her character?
2. What traits of Dee’s character emerge when she remarks that Maggie would “probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use”?
3. How does Maggie’s response, “She can have them, Mama…. I can ‘member Grandma Dee without the quilts,” help define Maggie’s character?
