CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
Characterization is the information the author gives the reader about the characters. That way, the characters become more realistic. The author may reveal a character in several ways:
a) their physical appearance
Joe has a dark, boyish face, and long black hair, which he ties in a ponytail. He likes to wear statement shirts like "Down With Imperialism!" and "Crush Capitalism". His face is always in a good-natured grin, though.
Character Traits: Joe is a non-conformist and political. Yet, he is a cheerful person.
b) what they think, feel and dream
Kelly felt bad about getting only 99% in her test.
Character Traits: Kelly is highly intelligent, and has high expectations of herself.
c) what they say or do (or what they don’t say or do)
"I came to tell you I'm sorry," said Jim sincerely.
"BE QUIET!" Nancy screamed at him.
d) what others say about him/her and how others react to him/her
When Mr. Drake approached the boys, they threw him a nervous look and went back to their seats.
Character Traits: Mr. D is probably a strict teacher and a disciplinarian. He is probably also intimidating as a person.
