English 10: Block A
Character Chart: Choose a main character from either "the Lamp at Noon", "The Metaphor", or "Harrison Bergeron" and complete the character chart. Make sure to determine 4 personality traits and find quotations from the stories to prove the traits. (See me for this chart)
Use your chart for the following:
Paragraph Question: In a paragraph of 150-200 words, with direct reference to one the stories (listed above), discuss the main character's personality traits.
Criteria: this is a persuasive paragraph: you must prove that your character fits these traits. Use 3-4 quotations as your evidence and explain how the quotations prove your point.
For example, if you say that Charlotte's mother is a cold-hearted person and use the example where she tells Charlotte to stop crying, you then have to explain that this is unfeeling because she does not care that her daughter is upset, does not let her express her emotions, nor does she have any empathy for the situation.
