Character Study
Character Study
Choose a main character in your memoir (you can include yourself) using
words, paint a word portrait of him or her. Write about any of the
following: interests, relationships with other characters, personality,
problems that face him or her, and or anything else that you think will
help your reader understand that character better. To help you get the
information you need, first fill out a chart like the one that follows.
A character study is written in third person; you are the author who knows
everything about the character. Think about sentence fluency as you write.
Read your character study aloud to make sure it reads smoothly and that it
sounds good.
