Two Kinds Introducing the Story . . . the aspiring immigrant . . . is not content to progress alone. Solitary success is imperfect success in his eyes. He must take his family with him as he rises. Mary Antin, 1912

What do you think the term CHARACTER MOTIVATION means? This story is going to help us look at CHARACTER MOTIVATION What do you think the term CHARACTER MOTIVATION means?

Character Motivation= the reason a character acts or does something “The reason we do what we do.” Two types of character motivation: intrinsic & extrinsic

Intrinsic- means you are motivated to do something internally Something inside you drives you to do something EX: wanting to do a good job -EX: wanting to do the right thing EX: wanting to be a better person

Extrinsic- means you are motivated to do something by an outside force In other words, things are given to you that drive you to do something -EX: chocolate makes you do something -EX: kool aid, candy, free time, money, jail

What is the Character Motivation Here? Jing-Mei’s mother wants her daughter to be an excellent pianist. What could Jing-Mei’s mother’s motivation for doing this be?

What are you motivated by? Tell Why. Your assignment Using your notes on motivation, write a one paragraph essay answering the following question: What are you motivated by? Tell Why. If you do not finish this in class, it will be for homework.
