JOURNAL TOPIC:
We describe characters all the time. Whenever we relate a story about something that happened with other people to a person who wasn't there, we portray the other people as characters in that story. Sometimes we describe them directly ("he's six feet tall" or "she was really angry"), and sometimes we describe them indirectly, in terms of what they said, or did, or how others reacted to them. Think of something that happened to you over the weekend in the presence of other people. Write a paragraph about it. Then, choose one character and analyze your own work: did you describe this person directly or indirectly?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Les Mis: Select five examples in which the author describes M. Myriel. For each example, determine whether the author is using direct or indirect characterization.
POST:
On your blog, type in each example of characterization you selected. Explain whether each is direct or indirect, and give your reasons why. (title: WHAT A CHARACTER. First sentences: "In Les Misérables, Victor Hugo goes to great lengths to describe the character of M. Myriel. He uses both direct and indirect characterization to help the reader get to know M. Myriel. Here are some examples.")
thank you
As often as I say it, I feel like I don't say it often enough: Thank You. Thank you for your effort, your insight, your willingness...
