1. Elements of Literature
Part 2

2. 3. Foil A set of characters who are complete opposites
Helps to create character development
Used to create contrast with characters
Often a secondary character who offsets the characteristic from the protagonist
Examples: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Percy and Luke, and Ron and Hermonine

3. E. Round and Dynamic vs Flat and Static
Seem real
Make changes
In the story enough to develop
Flat and Static
Stereotypical and very shallow
Few traits and can be symbolic
Limited time in the story so development doesn’t happen
Some characters start flat but may become round as the story or series develops (think Ron in Harry Potter)

4. F. Motivation Motivate means to get to do
A force, stimulus, or influence that makes you do something
Everyone has a reason for doing something-that is the motivation!!!!
Effects everything about the character’s personage and the actions they do- ie motivation can drive the story
