Characterization: Actions, Thoughts, and Words

Characterization describes how an author reveals the personality of characters or character traits.

Authors spend a lot of time creating their characters.  Good writers do not give you all the information about a character, rather they SHOW you in the story through:
  • S: what a character says
  • T: a character's thoughts
  • E: the emotions a character feels
  • A: the actions they make
  • L: their physical looks
