Chapter Five!-'%&'(&/0$#,/T85'('#-"(.C'-.$%'%&85'('#-"(3)>"/ As authors develop the plot and characters for a story, several #5'('#-"( -)>"/ emerge: The protagonist of a story is the main character who changes throughout the story; the protagonist is directly affected by the events of the plot. The antagonist is the main character in opposition to the protagonist; the antagonist usually causes the protagonist s problems. The antagonist can also be a force of nature. To further define his characters, an author then develops four general types of characters which evolve around the protagonist and antagonist and support the plot development. Round characters are complicated and interesting to the reader. Flat characters are simple and under-developed. Dynamic characters are those that grow or change emotionally or learn a lesson. Static characters change or grow very little (or not at all) throughout the story. To help understand these character types, we must study the way that the author has written about each character. There are several ways we learn about a character: Direct characterization is when the author or narrator tells the reader what a character is like. For example, Jennifer is a good student. characterization is when the author gives information about a character and allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions about that character. Two of the ways we can learn about a character through indirect characterization are: o the character s own thoughts, feelings and actions o what other characters say or feel, or how they act towards another character Directions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b19)$,&$%<-+"'(%/$B"-5.%6'I$,- -5"#5'('#-"(D)$,5'@"%<-#5$/"%'6$$&[,$-"E!""-5"9$++$A.%6"F'B>+"9$(5"+>E Good QuoteTThe boss says about George: Well, I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy.

Chapter Five ;//"//B"%-K(">'('-.$%TM"-"(B.%.%6K'(-/$9!>""#5 Determining the part of speech of a word is very important for assessments, but also for determining the definitions and usage in everyday written language. If you can determine the part of speech for a word you have never seen before, you may also be able to distinguish the word s meaning. Read the following sentence. Suzie was a parsimonious person; she never went out without saving enough money first. In order to determine a new word s meaning, 1) find the subject(s) of the sentence: Suzie 2) find the predicate(s) (verb) of the sentence: was; went 3) determine how the vocabulary word fits into the sentence: since Suzie is the subject and was and went are the verbs, I know that the vocabulary word is more than likely %$- a noun or verb. Since it is next to the word person I can assume that the word is describing Suzie. Additionally, I know that the suffix ous means full of, and it changes a noun to an adjective, so I am able to determine that the word is an '&Y"#-.@". 4) From here, I can use the other context clues in the sentence to find the correct definition. 7$-"T)$,B')%$-'+A')/5'@"#$%-"F-.%9$(B'-.$%-$6,"//'A$(&</ B"'%.%6EG5"%-5'-./-5"#'/"D)$,B')A'%--$("'&'9"A/"%-"%#"/I"9$(" '%&'9-"(-5"@$#'I,+'()A$(&.%$(&"(-$/"".9)$,#'%.%9"(-5"A$(&</B"'%.%6E e0$(-5./"f"(#./"d>'6"%,bi"(/5'@"i""%6.@"%-$5"+>)$,e19)$,/-.++%""& 5"+>D("9"(-$'&.#-.$%'().f DirectionsT2"'&"'#5/"%-"%#"9($B85'>-"(0.@"DM"-"(B.%"-5">'(-$9/>""#5.% #$%-"F-9$("'#5,%&"(+.%"&@$#'I,+'()A$(&'/)$,#$B>+"-"-5"#5'(-E;%"F'B>+"5'/ I""%&$%"9$()$,E R0($B$,-/.&"#'B"-5"#+'%6$95$(/"/5$"/$%-5">+').%6n\o>"6 '%&-5"/5$,-/$9B"%D>+').%6ndoD"%#$,('6.%6DY""(.%6ESe>6Epdf Definition of men came verb laughing at or mocking scornfully (In this example, playing [2], encouraging, and jeering are all participles, not verbs) (1) RV">.#J"&,>-5">,>'%&5,(+"&.-9($B5.BESe>6Ep^f Definition of 2009 Secondary Solutions - 62 - Of Mice and Men Literature Guide
