Page 8: The Giver by Lois Lowry Day 4 Warm up Warm up: Youtube interview with Lois Lowry .

Methods of Characterization

Page 9: The Giver by Lois Lowry Day 4 Warm up Warm up: Youtube interview with Lois Lowry .

Characterization – the way an author reveals the special qualities and personalities of a character in a story, making the character believable.

Page 10: The Giver by Lois Lowry Day 4 Warm up Warm up: Youtube interview with Lois Lowry .

Indirect Characterization – writer shows you what character is like by

revealing:

• Appearance

• Actions

• Words

• Thoughts and feelings

• Other character’s comments or reactions

Appearance

Can infer a lot about characters from the clothes they wear, their facial features, their body language, and their mannerisms.

Tex was the head rancher on the farm. When he rounds up the horses, he can be easily spotted with his beige hat and vest. Tex’s smile is a mile wild, even with his bushy mustache.

jovial proud dedicated

Actions – Much of what we learn about characters is revealed to us through what they do.

Denise picked up the slimy bull frog. She could hardly stand to hold it even for a moment. She held it out at arm’s length from her body and quickly carried it to her brother.

squeamish sensitive nervous

Page 13: The Giver by Lois Lowry Day 4 Warm up Warm up: Youtube interview with Lois Lowry .

Words – We often get to know characters because of what they say to each other.

Anita threw her arms around Tony and gave him a big hug. “Thank you so much for being there for me,” she said. “I don’t think I could have faced my parents without you.”

thoughtful compassionate appreciative

Page 14: The Giver by Lois Lowry Day 4 Warm up Warm up: Youtube interview with Lois Lowry .

Thoughts and feelings – When an author lets us get inside the mind of a character, we can often learn a great deal about him or her.

Butch looked around the neighborhood. “This would be a safe place to play catch with Bobby,” he thought. “Why doesn’t Bobby throw the ball?” He must be in a bad mood or something.”

loyal concerned playful

Page 15: The Giver by Lois Lowry Day 4 Warm up Warm up: Youtube interview with Lois Lowry .

Other character’s comments or reactions – sometimes other characters will tell us something useful about the character we’re reading about.

“You wouldn’t believe what Lisa did yesterday,” Sara said to her sister. “When we went into the bridal shop, she pushed all the women aside and demanded that the sales lady help us immediately. It was really something!”

Demanding pushy assertive

Direct Characterization The writer tells you exactly (directly) what the

character is like.

Betsy was a determined three year old, who knew what she wanted and often got her way, if she cried loud enough.

Mrs. Manning has an obnoxiously loud voice which she uses to intimidate her students.
