Template/example for #1 (#2 is up to you) The tortoise Slow and Steady from “The Tortoise and the Hare” is sympathetic because he is tenacious (VOCAB WORD). For example, in paragraph 4, the text reads, “Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.” When the author writes that the tortoise “walked and walked” and “never, ever stopped” this demonstrates tenacity (determination) because this implies the way was long and difficult, he could’ve given up multiple times, but he kept looking ahead anyway. The character NAME from “NAME OF SELECTION” is SYMPATHETIC/UNSYMPATH ETIC (pick one) because he/she is QUALITY (Use a vocab word from your list). For example, on page/paragraph (#) the text reads, “BRING IN THE MOST IMPORTANT QUOTE HERE.” When name of character “pick out an important verb from the quote,” this demonstrates repeat quality because comment on the quote/tell us what is implied in the quote.
