Importance of SettingØ To create a mood or
atmosphere Ø To show a reader a
different way of life Ø To make action seem
more real To be the source of
conflict or struggle
We left the home place behind, mile by slow mile, heading for the mountains, across the prairie where the wind blew forever.
At first there were four of us with one horse wagon and its skimpy load. Pa and I walked, because I was a big boy of eleven. My two little sisters romped and trotted until they got tired and had to be boosted up to the wagon bed.
That was no covered Conestoga, like Pa’s folks came West in, but just an old farm wagon, drawn by one weary horse, creaking and rumbling westward to the mountains, toward the little woods town where Pa thought he had an old uncle who owned a little two-bit sawmill.
Taken from “The Day the Sun Came Out” by D. Johnson

CharacterizationØA writer reveals
what a character is like and how the character changes throughout the story.
![Page 8: literary elements powerpoint - Mrs. Harris' 8th Grade …harris8th.weebly.com/.../2/3/7/2/23721557/literary_elem… · · 2016-09-27At first there were four of us with ... * Conflict](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052407/5ab2ad3b7f8b9ad9788d6492/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Characterization
ØTwo primary methods of characterization: !
üDirect- writer TELLS what the character is like
!üIndirect- writer SHOWS what a character is
like by describing what the character looks like, by telling what the character says and does, and by what other characters say about and do in response to the character.

Direct Characterization …And I don’t play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I’m a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice, which is how I got the name Squeaky.
From “Raymond’s Run” by T. Bambara

Indirect Characterization
The old man bowed to all of us in the room. Then he removed his hat and gloves, slowly and carefully. Chaplin once did that in a picture, in a bank--he was the janitor.

Five Methods of Characterization� Speech
� character’s dialogue and personality � Thoughts
What is going on in their mind � Effects on other characters
How other characters think or act toward character � Actions
� The character’s behavior or what they do � Looks
� Physical traits of a person

Ø Foreshadowing- hint or clue about what will happen in story !
Ø Flashback- interrupts the normal sequence of events to tell about something that happened in the past !

![Page 35: literary elements powerpoint - Mrs. Harris' 8th Grade …harris8th.weebly.com/.../2/3/7/2/23721557/literary_elem… · · 2016-09-27At first there were four of us with ... * Conflict](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052407/5ab2ad3b7f8b9ad9788d6492/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Special techniques of a plot ♦ Time Lapse: When a story skips a period of time in a plot !
♦ Closed Ending: In this type of ending readers feel like they know what is going to happen in the story. The story feels complete when the reader reaches the end. !
♦ Open Ending: The reader does not know what will happen; they must draw their own conclusion.
!♦ Cliffhanger: An abrupt ending Often happens at an exciting
or dangerous part of the plot. It is usually at the end of the chapter, but the book can also end this way.
