Imagery is language that appeals to the senses:

Visual imagery—appeals to sight.


Aural (or auditory) imagery—appeals to hearing
Tactile imagery—appeals to touch
Olfactory imagery—appeals to smell
Characters are one of the most critical
elements in storytelling, whether in
literature, film, theater, or any other
narrative medium.

They are the individuals who drive the


plot, engage the audience, and bring the
story to life. Characters are often
classified into various types, each with
distinct roles and characteristics:

Types of characters:

Protagonist – the main


character in the story (often
the “good guy”)

Antagonist – the person or


the force that works against
of protagonist (often the
“bad guy”)

Direct Characterization

Direct Characterization tells the audience what the personality of the


character is.

Example: “The patient boy and quiet girl were both well mannered
and did not disobey their mother.”

Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the


personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is
“quiet.”

Indirect Characterization

Indirect Characterization shows things that reveal the personality of a character.

There are five different methods of indirect characterization:

Speech: What does the character say? How does the character speak?

Thoughts: What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?

Effects on others: What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people?
How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?

Actions: What does the character do? How does the character behave?

Looks: What does the character look like? How does the character dress?
