Write a character study of either Raymond or Gretchen from “Raymond’s Run.” Create a list of character traits and supporting evidence from the story, to help you gather information about your selected character. In your study, identify three adjectives that describe your chosen character. Define each adjective and explain why you chose each one as a character trait. Consider the following questions as you determine the character traits you will discuss:

-What does this character want very badly?
-What are they willing to do to get it?
-What is the consequence of this desire?
-What does this desire tell us about the character?
Your character study should be approximately 200 words long, and should be written in paragraph form.
