Characterization

Sorry this is late, but on Friday we focused on characterization. Here is the morning's bellwork. You should have three bellworks to turn in for the week.

We then read a short story from The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien and discussed how the author uses objects to characterize the men in the story.

Afterwards we did some creative writing using objects. This writing does not need to be made up, but make sure you know the difference between concrete and abstract imagery as well as the principle of showing, not telling.
