convicted of various offenses were being tried and imprisoned, thus the impetus for the banker and lawyer’s conversation

“The Bet”• Mood: In your groups, pull out

words from the exposition that contribute to the mood. Write them on the board.

• What IS the mood of the story then?• What is the setting?

Characterization• Process by which the writer reveals the

personality of a character.Two Types:

1. Direct: tells the audience what the personality of the character is (ex: The patient boy and quiet girl were well mannered and didn’t disobey their mother.)

2. Indirect: shows things that reveal to the audience what the personality of the character is (ex: Julie owned a multitude of outfits and accessories, and it always took her forever to decide which combination might impress Trent.)
