Unit 2: Page 4--handbook Point of View and Characterization Characters are the people you meet in stories. Good stories make you imagine how characters look, act, and feel. What they say gives you clues about who they are and what they might do. They make you think or feel something about yourself and the world because you care about them. As a story’s plot unfolds, you are sad or embarrassed, angry, or scared, happy or satisfied because of characters.
