You can deal with different categories (Culture, economy, political system...).

Characterization 

A characterization is a written portrait of a person from a book that aims at drawing a 

complete picture of how this person is, behaves, acts, looks and thinks. In order to do 

this, we have to look at different aspects: 

• appearance and physical aspects: What does the character look like? What 

are the character's physical attributes? 

• social background, family and friends: How is the character's relationship 

to other characters in the story? What kinds of friends does he/she have? How 

does he/she treat other people? What is his/her family background? 

• behaviour: How does the character behave? How does he/she act and react 

in certain situations? How does the character's behaviour change throughout 

the story? 

• feelings and thoughts: What does the character think or feel most of the 

time? How do his/her feelings change? How does the character deal with 

his/her own feelings? What is the character's attitude towards other 

characters? 

1- Collect the information on the main characters in the scene and draw their portraits.
