EDIT LIKE A PRO

A. Read the story below about the new villain in town. Underline all the adjectives in the story. The

first one is done for you.

Omega Osman

There was a flash of green, and a tall man appeared. He was floating above the Blue

Mosque, flying all around the building as if it were looking for something. I looked up with

my binoculars to see what he looked like, and I saw that he was wearing a blue costume.

He had spiky black hair and deep green eyes. His costume was so tight you could see his big

muscles moving underneath as he moved. He had a sneaky smile on his face.

“What is he smiling about and how can he fly?” I whispered to myself.

Then suddenly, his laughter echoed, and everyone heard his loud and booming voice.

Now everyone was staring at him as he flew above. People watched him with shocked

faces.

"Who is this guy?" an old man said pointing his walking stick at him.

"I am Omega Osman! Don't you dare disrespect me!" he said and zapped the poor old

man with a green light that flashed out of his eyes.

“Istanbul belongs to me now, and I will take the Blue Mosque as a trophy!” he shouted.

“MUAHAHAHAAAA!” he laughed. His eyes grew larger. Then once again, his eyes flashed

and the green laser hit the building making it disappear. The mosque was gone so was

Omega Osman. We must call the superheroes back to town I thought.

B. Use the adjectives that describe the physical traits to draw a picture of Omega Osman in the

box below.

We use character analysis a lot

characters in the books we

read or the movies we watch.

You are right! Each character

is different in and character

analysis helps us to identify

their traits.

Yes, character traits give us

information that is special to

each character in the story.

your first character! Do you know

why character analysis is important?
