Characters: Characterization of Created Character Create a character or select a character from a story you have written or are writing. Provide a description of characterization for this character; include the character's appearance, actions, and words as well as what other characters say about the character, and how other characters respond to the character. You can do this by writing a paragraph or by creating a chart.

I read Lois Lowry’s The Giver. The character I most identify with is Jonas. In many ways, Jonas is just a typical adolescent. For example, his little sister annoys him just like my little sister annoys me. But Jonas is also different from other adolescents because of how smart he is. He is smarter than most adults he meets too. While I don’t have the wisdom of humanity at my fingertips like Jonas does, I do feel that I’m smarter than most of my friends. My friends get jealous when I get awards for doing well in school, which is similar to how Jonas’s friends act when he gets picked to be the Receiver of Memory. Also, Jonas is really considerate and likes to help people out. For example, he volunteers to help the elderly. I like to use some of my free time to volunteer as well. Once a week, my mom and I volunteer at the local soup kitchen.

Explanation:

closer examination, however, finds the mcdonald's kind of job highly uneducational in several ways. far from providing opportunities for entrepreneurship (the lemonade stand) or self- discipline, self-supervision, and self-scheduling (the paper route), most teen jobs these days are highly structured — what social scientists call “highly routinized.”  

true, you still have to have the gumption to get yourself over to the hamburger stand, but once you don the prescribed uniform, your task is spelled out in minute detail.  

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
