Recommended: Breaking social norms

One bright early morning at around 7:00 A.M. I woke up. After waking up I proceeded to use the restroom then took a shower. After showering I then ate breakfast then began to brush my teeth and got dressed for school. Finally, I was done with my morning routine and then I headed out for my day at school.

On my way to school I followed the speed limit to avoid getting a ticket. When I got to school I proceeded to go to my first class which is Sociology. When class was let out I went to the quad where I smoked a cigarette and did home work for my classes for the next day. Then at approximately 12:00 P.M. I met up with my friend Tonya then we walked to our next class, Theatre, which we had together. While in our Theatre class we joked around and criticized different movies, and the bad acting in several of those movies. When that class ended my friend Tonya and I decided to got to the mall.

When we got to the mall we parked at the food court so we could get something to eat at Chick-Fil-A after our long day at school. On the way walking to Chick-Fil-A we decided to stop at Abercrombie and Fitch, our favorite store. While in Abercrombie and Fitch I saw this really fine outfit but I only had enough money on me for me to eat that day. So my friend told me that I should just steal it so I could wear it when we went out that weekend. But I knew better I knew it would be wrong so I decided we should just leave and go eat and I would go back and get the outfit once I had enough money for the outfit on me. After we ate we decided to leave the mall. While I was bringing her back to her vehicle another friend of mine, Kenny, called. He called to invite me over before work because he was going to be cooking and few people were going to go over. So I told him I would but I had to go home and get dressed for work before I went out there to meet them. I then went home and got dressed for a long night at work.

After I took my shower and got dressed I left and went to Kenny’s.

    Characterization is the process by which the author reveal the personality of a character. Characterization can be created in two different ways: direct and indirect characterization. Direct characterization is when the author tells the readers what a character is like. Indirect characterization is based on clues from the story, the reader decides what a character is like. Indirect characterization can come from what the character says/does, what the character thinks, what others say about the character, and the character’s physical appearance.

  • Janelle's Use Of Direct Characterization

    1872 Words  | 4 Pages

    When Janelle was thinking, and said, “you are Thighs “R” Us,” in her head, and she thinks about Lupe saying, “you have a very pretty face,” you begin to get the image of what she looks like. The author allows us to then see what some of her characteristics when Janelle says, “I mean, I am smart and funny, and I know I’m a good person,” and then later says, “I wish people could see me on the inside. I know I’m beautiful in there.” So, by the end of her first chapter, she has told us enough directly for us to be able to see what she is like, and what she looks like. I think that there could be a couple of reasons why the author chose to use direct characterization. One reason I believe she did this is that letting you into the character’s mind like she let us into Janelle’s seems very personal, and seems to be more on the indirect side of direct characterization, since it is her thoughts on herself, so you can choose whether or not to believe it. This makes it seem like direct characterization is maybe a bit more okay, whereas in some books it may seem to quick or simple. I also think that maybe the author did this because in this particular book, each character’s chapters are pretty short, and using direct characterization may allow her to

  • How Does Steinbeck Use Direct Characterization In Of Mice And Men

    818 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the book Mice and Men, John Steinbeck uses both Direct Characterization, and Indirect Characterization, to describe the characters. Direct characterization is when you tell the reader the characteristics of the character directly. For example, “She is tall and skinny.”On the other hand, Indirect characterization is when you give a description of the character, without directly saying what the character is like, through speech and actions. Direct And Indirect Characterization can easily be compared and contrasted in many ways.

  • Personal Narrative: Bullied In High School

    391 Words  | 1 Pages

    “Yeah? Well-” Before I could say a comeback, the girl left. Her name was Jenna Richard, and she bullied me for about a month and a half. Every day at lunch, Jenna would come over to our lunch table, make fun of my food or of what I was reading and leave before we could say anything. My friends of course tried to stand up for me, but it was no use. I decided to go to my teacher after lunch to talk to her about Jenna. But we both had the same teacher after lunch, and when I told my teacher about Jenna bullying me, she called Jenna up and asked her if it was true. But Jenna told her that I was completely wrong, and that I was the one bullying her. When the teacher asked some other people as witnesses, they told her mixed answers. Some were telling the truth and saw it happening, but Jenna’s close friends were telling the teacher that I was bullying her. As she didn’t know what to do, the teacher gave us both extra homework that was due directly the day after. The next day, when the teacher asked for the homework, I gave the completed worksheets, while Jenna had done only a few problems, saying that she didn’t deserve the homework since she was “innocent”. But the teacher surprised us both by telling us that she was taking the combined score of the worksheets as a test grade, which meant that Jenna was probably going to get her grade in that class lowered significantly. I like to think of that as a minor “sentence” for bullying me and lying to a
