Presentation transcript:

Characterization Characterization is how the author describes the characters in the story. The author uses characterization to make his or her characters deeper and 3D. By giving the character a personality, mentality, behavior, and mannerisms, the author makes the story and the character seem like they really exist.

Direct Characterization the writer makes direct statements about a character's personality and tells what the character is like. Explicit details. EXAMPLE: – Squidward is a very angry and mean person---he hates Spongebob.

Indirect Characterization the writer reveals information about a character and his personality through that character's thoughts, words, and actions, along with how other characters respond to that character, including what they think and say about him. Implicit details. EXAMPLE: – Squidward, with his never changing frown, rolled his eyes, crossed his arms, and grumbled as Spongebob, giggling, blew a bubble in his face.
