Today at Moos, we talked about characters. We discussed how poets and writers use character maps in order to create fully formed characters that feel real to us. We diagrammed that every character has a dream, a bad force that challenges the character, a thing or person that helps them, a solution, and a feeling about receiving or not receiving their dream.
