  17. Characterization • Authors present believable characters by: • character’s actions & words • character’s appearance • character’s inner thoughts • character’s background • what other characters think & say about the character • narrator commenting directly about a character

  20. Conflict! • The struggle that takes place between two opposing forces. • EXTERNAL: • (outside the character) • person versus person • person versus nature • person versus society • INTERNAL: • (within the character’s mind) • person versus self

  21. Point of View Who is telling the story? • 1st person: a character speaks directly to the reader & refers to him/herself as “I” --this allows readers to experience the thoughts and emotions of the main character • 3rd person: a narrator who is not a character & refers to all characters as “he” or “she”--this allows readers to experience the thoughts and emotions of several characters
