Presentation transcript:

How can characterization be used by an author to demonstrate a theme? Bellringer: Nov. 5 How can characterization be used by an author to demonstrate a theme? Use your theme notes to help you answer this question if you are stuck.

How does an author use characterization and setting to create a theme? How is the character created? What internal conflict is created? (most characters have an internal conflict) How do these two elements work together to shape the character? How does the SYMBOLIC meaning of the setting contribute to what’s going on with the character? What message could the author be creating through these three elements working together?

Now answer the question. How does an author use characterization and setting to create a theme? Use at least four examples (two to show characterization, one to show internal conflict, one to show setting and symbolic meaning) EXPLAIN how each example connects to your theme. Submit this response today. It is not an essay. (What does an essay require that this response does not?)
