CNF L3 Characters Characterization

This document discusses creative non-fiction and characterization. It defines characterization as the process of creating and developing characters within a story. Direct characterization involves explicitly stating a character's traits, while indirect characterization shows traits through a character's actions. Authors employ techniques like dialogue, physical appearance, thoughts, and interactions to effectively develop complex characters, which change over time, and static characters, which remain unchanged.
