Jan 7: Developing Realistic Characters

In today's reading the author, Mr. Fred White, discusses the importance of good character development. He further states that the read learns the most about the character by the behavior they display.
FOR FURTHER REFLECTION
Today in this segment Mr. White asks us to first think about the Civil Rights Movement. Although many people know what that term means it is the behavior of people that gives us the best understanding of the movement. The actions of people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. helps us understand more and also expands our picture of the movement.
TRY THIS
The assignment is to develop character profiles for five or six characters and then write a scene which includes narrative, dialogue, and action. In the you need to fully develop the character's personality and character atributes.
Unfortunately I already have too many characters and short stories going to get my brain working sufficiently to even attempt this assignment today.
