textual evidence (and page #) characterization: what does this evidence reveal about the characters point of view, traits, or motivations? circle one or both: explicit characterization or making inferences circle one or both: explicit characterization or making inferences circle one or both: explicit characterization or making inferences circle one or both: explicit characterization or making inferences 1) summarize your conclusions on this character. 2) describe how the author develops the character (dialogue, explicit narration, interactions. etc)

Explanation:

This is an exercise in literary analysis focusing on character - related aspects. By examining textual evidence, one can determine a character's point of view, traits, and motivations. Explicit characterization is when the author directly states a character's qualities, while making inferences involves deducing from what the character says, does, or how others react to them. To summarize conclusions on the character, one should synthesize the findings from analyzing the evidence. Describing how the author develops the character includes noting the use of dialogue (what the character says), explicit narration (author - stated facts about the character), and interactions (how the character relates to others).

Answer:

1. Conclusions on the character should be based on analyzing the textual evidence for traits, point of view, and motivations. Summarize whether the character is more self - pitying, determined, etc. based on the evidence.
2. The author may develop the character through dialogue (e.g., the character's statements about their misery and wishes), explicit narration (if the author directly describes the character's state), and interactions (such as how the character responds to others' requests or how others treat the character).
