a Setting SAMPLE

• We left the home place behind, mile by slow
  mile, heading for the mountains, across the
  prairie where the wind blew forever.
• At first there were four of us with one
  horse wagon and its skimpy load. Pa and I
  walked, because I was a big boy of eleven. My
  two little sisters romped and trotted until they
  got tired and had to be boosted up to the wagon
  bed.
• That was no covered Conestoga, like Pas folks
  came West in, but just an old farm wagon, drawn
  by one weary horse, creaking and rumbling
  westward to the mountains, toward the little
  woods town where Pa thought he had an old uncle
  who owned a little two-bit sawmill.

Characterization

• A writer reveals what a character is like and how
  the character changes throughout the story.
• Two primary methods of characterization
• Direct- writer tells what the character is like.
• Indirect- writer shows what a character is like
  by describing what the character looks like, by
  telling what the character says and does, and by
  what other characters say about and do in
  response to the character.

44
A Direct Characterization SAMPLE
And I dont play the dozens or believe in
standing around with somebody in my face doing a
lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down
and take my chances even if Im a little girl
with skinny arms and a squeaky voice, which is
how I got the name Squeaky.
From Raymonds
Run by T. Bambara
45
An Indirect Characterization Sample
The old man bowed to all of us in the room.
Then he removed his hat and gloves, slowly and
carefully. Chaplin once did that in a picture,
in a bank--he was the janitor. From Gentleman
of Rio en Medio by J. Sedillo
