Lesson 4: “Red Versus White” and “Through the Tunnel” How does an author use characterization and setting to develop a theme? Lesson 4: “Red Versus White” and “Through the Tunnel”
Direct Characterization The author directly states information about a character. He or she TELLS you what type of person the character is. This type of characterization should be used RARELY. It’s boring and doesn’t grab the reader.
Indirect Characterization The author shows you about the character. This method is more interesting and develops the character better. Think STEAL for how an author will indirectly characterize. S - Speech (what and how a character talks) T - Thoughts (what and how a character thinks - sometimes inferred) E - Effect on others (see how others respond to this character) A - Actions (what does the character do) L - Looks (how does the character physically appear) You then have to INFER what type of person the character is based on the elements of STEAL.
