DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION

Direct Characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is.

EFFECT ON OTHERS How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?

ACTIONS What does the character do? How does the character behave?

POINT OF VIEW

• There are 3 ways of telling a story:

• 1st person - "I" tells the story and is a character in the story; this can be present tense or past tense.

• 2nd person - "You" is used to tell the story; these tend to be like Choose Your Own Adventure stories or computer games and are usually in the present tense.

• 3rd person - "He, she, it, they" - the story is told by someone, usually not identified by name, who knows it. Usually in the past tense.

Theme

The theme of a literary work is its central message, concern, or purpose.

A theme can usually be expressed as a generalization, or general statement, about people or life. The theme may be stated directly by the writer although it is more often presented indirectly. When the theme is stated indirectly, the reader must figure out the theme by looking carefully at what the work reveals about the people or about life.
