Character Analysis and Setting:
In the stories you have read in Chapters, you have been introduced to several kinds of characters. Using a story that is different than the one you analyzed in the Literary Techniques and Their Connection to Conflict in Literature discussion, describe a character you sympathize with by answering the following questions:
Why did this character interest you? What choices does the character make, and how do the choices (or the result of the choices) contribute to the theme of the story?
What kind of conflict (internal/external) did this character encounter, and how did he/she handle it?
How does the setting contribute to the character’s development?
How does the setting contribute to the character’s experience and give the story more meaning?
As you consider these questions and answer them, incorporate readings found in Chapters 4-7 to help illustrate the points you make.
