Class Notes - October 17, 2014 

• A cause is an event, action, or feeling that produces a result. An effect is the result produced. As you read, ask questions to analyze cause and effect:
• What happened?
• Why did it happen?
• What happens as a result?
• Does that result cause something else to happen?

A character is a person, an animal, or even an object that participates in the action and experiences the events of a literary work. Writers communicate a character’s traits and personality through these characterization techniques.

Direct characterization: The writer (speaking through a narrator) explains a character

Indirect characterization: The writer gives clues to a character by presenting the character’s actions, words, and thoughts and by showing how others react to the character.
