3. Types of Character Arcs
The Change Arc: the protagonist undergoes a radical personal change that transforms him/her from one type of person to a totally different type of person.
The Growth Arc:  the protagonist overcomes an internal opposition (weakness, fear, the past etc.) while he faces an external opposition; as a result, he becomes a fuller, better person. He’s still pretty much who he was, just upgraded to Protagonist 2.0.
The Shift Arc (variant of the Growth Arc): the protagonist changes his perspective, learns different skills, or gains a different role. The end-result is not “better” or more than the starting point, just different. The protagonist has not overcome a grand inner resistance; he/she simply gained a new set of skills or assumed a new position, maybe discovered a talent he forgot he had, or began a different vocation.
The Fall Arc: commonly known as a “tragedy”, the Fall Arc follows the protagonist as he dooms himself and/or others, and declines into insanity, immorality, or death.

8. Example – Quote Analysis
Quote: “In Wellpinit, I was a freak because I loved books. In Reardan, I was a joyous freak” (Alexie 98). Page#: 98 (Ch. 12) Situational Context: Junior is becoming better friends with Gordy, one of the “smart” kids. Gordy stood up for him in defense against their science teacher, Mr. Dodge, in regards to his misinformation and racist behavior. In getting to know Gordy better, and in using him as an example, Junior is realizing that his “freak” status and interests may actually turn out to be his strengths. Reaction (why did you choose it): This quote highlights the beginning of Junior’s internal change in the way he views himself. In the past, one of his primary internal conflicts has involved his negative view of himself as related to his disabilities and his family/cultural situation; he realizes he has personal strengths, but those strengths are not consistently reinforced as positive in his environment. With this new beginning, he is learning that he may be able to resolve this internal conflict by reframing his “negatives” as positives.

9. Example – Characterization
Type of Indirect Characterization: Actions (the “A” of STEAL) Quote: “’I said, go away!’…So I walk away, but something pulls me back. I don’t know what it is. If you’re romantic, you might think it was destiny. So destiny and me lean against the wall and wait” (Alexie 106). Page#: 106 (Ch. 15) Situational Context Junior hears Penelope throwing up outside the girls’ bathroom. Despite her protests, he refuses to leave and confronts her. Later on in their conversation, he explains that they both are touched by compulsive behaviors (she by bulimia, his father by alcoholism). What Does it Say About the Character as a Person: In his attempt to support and understand her, Junior shows he is caring, loyal, and honest; he is not afraid to talk to her about the hard subjects, and he tries to be there for her.
