    Character Analysis

    You are going to complete a character analysis, well 5 character analyses actually. One
    for Lucy, Kenny, Clara, Howie and Maisie.

    You will take 5 paper templates (or create your own). On the ‘physical side’ (the side
    with the picture), you draw them as they are described in the novel. You also need to
    have their name.

    On the ‘character analysis side’ you will create a character analysis which involves
    dissecting a character's traits, motivations, development, and role in the story. Here are
    some elements that you should consider including in a character analysis:

    1. Name and Description: Start by introducing the character with their name and a
    brief physical and/or psychological description.

    2. Background: Provide information about the character's background, including


    their family, upbringing, and any relevant life experiences that shape who they
    are.

    3. Character's Role: Explain the character's role in the story. Are they the
    protagonist, antagonist, a sidekick, or a foil to another character? How do they fit
    into the narrative?

    4. Characterization: Analyze how the character is portrayed. Look at both direct


    characterization (information explicitly provided by the author) and indirect
    characterization (inferences based on the character's actions, thoughts, and
    dialogue).

    5. Personality Traits: List and describe the character's personality traits. Are they
    kind, ambitious, manipulative, courageous, etc.? Provide evidence from the text
    or narrative to support your claims.

    6. Motivations and Goals: Examine what drives the character. What are their
    primary goals, desires, or fears? How do these motivations influence their
    actions?

    7. Character Development: Analyze how the character evolves or changes


    throughout the story. Do they experience growth, regression, or transformation?
    What events or experiences trigger these changes?
    8. Internal Conflict: Explore any internal conflicts the character faces, such as
    moral dilemmas or psychological struggles. How do these conflicts contribute to
    their character arc?

    9. External Conflict: Discuss the character's conflicts with other characters or


    external forces in the story. How do these conflicts shape their actions and
    decisions?

    10. Relationships: Examine the character's relationships with other characters. How
    do these relationships reveal more about their personality or contribute to the
    story's development?

    11. Symbolism: Consider whether the character represents or symbolizes


    something larger within the story or serves as a metaphor for a particular theme
    or idea.

    12. Character's Speech and Dialogue: Analyze the character's speech patterns,
    dialogue, and communication style. Do they have a unique way of speaking?
    What does their dialogue reveal about them?

    13. Actions and Decisions: Evaluate the character's actions and decisions. How do
    these choices impact the plot and other characters? Do they act in accordance
    with their motivations and personality?

    14. Character's Significance: Discuss the character's significance to the overall


    themes and message of the work. Why is this character important to the story?

    15. Character's Flaws and Virtues: Identify the character's strengths and
    weaknesses. How do these qualities contribute to their complexity and
    relatability?

    16. Character's Name and Symbolism: Sometimes, a character's name or certain


    symbols associated with them can carry meaning. Explore any symbolism related
    to the character.

    17. Author's Purpose: Consider why the author created this character. What
    message, theme, or purpose does the character serve in the narrative?

    18. Quotations and Textual Evidence: Support your analysis with specific
    quotations or textual evidence from the work to illustrate and substantiate your
    points.

    19. Conclusion: Summarize your analysis and provide your overall assessment of
    the character, including any insights you've gained about their role and
    significance in the story.
