OBJECTIVES  Understand and Identify Characterization in Fiction.  Identify Theme in Fiction.

CHARACTERIZATION  Literary device used to explain the traits of a character in a story.  Information is expressed in two ways:  Direct -> The character’s information is shared by the narrator, another character, or the character themselves.  Example -> Johnny was a poor depressed soul but he had the heart of a lion.  Indirect -> The character’s information is shared subtly. The reader must deduce the character’s information via the thoughts, actions, and appearance of the character.  Example -> Johnny stated defiantly, “ I will not give in to my oppressors!”
