Characterization

The document discusses characterization in stories and how authors provide clues about characters through descriptions. It lists words that can be used to describe characters, such as bossy, helpful, scared, and mean. An example is given about a character named Ben who helped his mother in the store by shelving boxes carefully and returning money left by a customer, indicating he is helpful and responsible. A second example describes a character named Tippy defending her bone from a bigger dog, showing she is afraid but protective.
