While reading create questions about the text. Highlight examples and/or excellent quotes which capture the tone, mood, and skill of this fantastic writer or his work. Also include examples of diction, imagery, characterization, foreshadowing, suspense, similes, metaphors, hyperbole and anything else we can think of. Here are the types of characterization: Direct and Indirect.
Direct
He was tall, dark, and handsome.
This type of characterization is essentially a description given by the Narrator.
Indirect
She immediately perceived him to be the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon; it was love at first sight.
This can be seen as characters talking about another character or even his or herself. Also consider gossip and hear-say as instances of indirect characterization.
Please remember to have the story read by Thursday, ready to be discussed and picked apart.
This picture is based on Fractal Geometry, The Mandelbrot Set.
