Cyberjournal Characterization: Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character. This is done with direct interactions between you as the reader and the author. For example, the author might directly tell you that the character is a 5'10" female with blond hair stiffened by salt, crystal blue eye, skin kissed by the sun, and flower-patterned board shorts. This information helps you directly create an image in your mind's eye of the character. However, information can also be revealed about a character through indirect interactions. These interactions happen when you infer things about the character based on their interactions with other characters, their inner thought process, their reaction to conflict, etc. All of these questions focus on characterization. To answer these questions, consider the main character of your story (the protagonist) along with the character they come into conflict with (the antagonist). You are not required to answer all of these questions. These questions are meant for inspiration purposes only. Pick the ones that inspire you to write and think about your novel.
