I read the book True Legend by Mike Lupica. To keep a book alive and interesting authors use three different character types. Those character types are static, dynamic, and stereotype. Mike Lupica did a very good job at keeping the reader focused. Drew was the dynamic character because he had some important decisions that had a big impact on what would happen.

The first technique of indirect characterization that I would like to discuss is characterization by what a character says. Much can be taken away from many of the things Zaroff says in this story, in the very beginning he makes it clear that he has “‘but one passion in [his] life...the hunt.’”(6). At first glance this may seem fairly insignificant but, later we are revealed exactly how much his decisions are motivated, and swayed by this passion. Then, Zaroff starts revealing his true colors, and begins to lessen his facade. The general’s rather racist, superior personality is first shown when he comments on “‘[h]ow extraordinarily droll are you [Rainsford]!’...
Flying is a thought that everyone wishes to do, however some wishes don’t come true. “Waxen Wings” by Ha Songnan is about a girl named Birdie, a nickname she earns because she wishes to fly. Birdie tries to fly, but struggles every time. Throughout the story, Ha Songnan utilizes cause and effect, second-person point of view, and repetition of ideas emphasize the importance of rising after a fall. Songnan uses cause and effect structure to show structure in the story to highlight the importance of rising after a failure. When Birdie attempts to dabble in gymnastics, her achievement falters because of her body.
An example of indirect characterization would include “...Know yourself. Love yourself. Be a good friend. Be a kind of hope and substance…” This doesn’t exactly tell you about Mim, but it explains what she aspires to be. She wants to be a wise young lady, which the author doesn’t come right out and say it, but he implies that those are her goals.
The Holocaust will always be one of the most horrific memories that will never be suppressed. The Holocaust was when millions of Jews were thrown into concentration camps and tortured until their death. Families were being split up, not knowing they would never see each other again.

Within Ways of Reading, by Anthony Petrosky, there is an excerpt called the "Loss of the Creature", by Walker Percy. In Percy's excerpt, he writes about many different stories and examples that are all about different things. He talks of a man who takes a trip to France and his 'it' experience. Percy also uses many terms within his short excerpt. These terms include but do not exclude the 'Consumer' and the 'Expert and Planner'.
I gathered a lot of evidence throughout Patrick Shanley’s play, Doubt: A Parable, and I conclude that Father Flynn is guilty due to Donald being a very easy target and Father Flynn acting is very odd ways. Donald Muller, the little boy in the story, seems to be a very easy target for a predator. Donald is very isolated in school. He does not have any friends, so he the fact that the priest would accept him would make him feel accepted in the school. Donald is also the only black boy within the entire school.

Voice can be shown in diverse ways throughout the novels, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger and 1984 by . Choices of words can show Voice through the characters personalities.
