How Do Writers Create Character?

Write a 1500+ word paper on the concept of character in literature. Your character analysis can include questions of race, class, or gender. This is still a LITERARY paper, so you must use at least 10 literary terms in your essay. Literary terms include plot, character, metaphor, symbolism, etc. There are many terms you should learn from the “Literary Terms” link on the class web site.

A character analysis focuses on one or more characters in a story and will discuss what role character plays in the development of the story. You may focus on how the author both tells us about the character through direct description and what we learn about the character through his or her actions or decisions in the story. Be sure to view the ?Character Development? link in the Modules for help.
