So characters can be in boxes above and below each other but NOT beside each other. Discuss each choice and Justify how you know each character fits in the boxes you’ve chosen. EACH of you create your own. You can use the back of your Relationship Analysis or notebook paper. Look up the definitions of the different types if you don’t remember.
