Characterization

Prompt:your blog post will be centered on direct and indirect characterization. Your focus question should be on how elements of a story interact with one another. For example, how does setting affect character or how does conflict drive character development.



     I think that every single part of of story interacts with each other. First lets talk about how setting affects a character. Lets say that our setting is Ireland and we have a character from America. The character won't know really anything about his setting thus making it harder to deal with any problem that involves the city it self such as finding clues and places. However, if we have a character who knows Ireland like the back of his hand, he would wiz through everything making the story really boring and dull.

     Another 2 parts that interact with a story is the conflict and character. People all care about their own things. Depending on what the problem is, people will react and put more effort in accomplishing the problem. 
if someone is passionate about the environment but someone thinks that helping war veterans is more of an issue, yes they will probably both donate their time to both things but will have more passion towards the one they think is more of an issue.

     The point I am trying to make is that a story and all of it elements are cause and effects. A chain reaction.If someone doesn't like something, less passion. If they do like something, more passion. Just like theme interacts with the problem. If the theme is being responsibility, the problem would be something like, what time does Jimmy need to start his homework instead of like, how manny apples were bought? Everything affects each other.
