Characterization Review!!!!

As a reporter for the Literary Press, you are to interview a literary character from a book or short story you have read.

First, decide who you will interview.  Aside from his/her basic background information, there are three important questions you want to ask this character:
1. Why were you chosen for this role in the story?
2. What other character was considered for your part?
3. Why wasn't the other individual chosen?

Let your character answer these questions in his/her own words. Example: "Actually, i wasn't George Orwell's first choice for the role of Boxer, the horse, in Animal Farm. No, he had some crazy idea that Count Fleet would be better, but what kind of name is that for a horse who works on a farm? Besides, when Orwell was writing the story in 1945, Fleet was busy winning the Triple Crown- three of the biggest races in America- so he wasn't even available for the part. That's why he settled on me."

Now it's your turn.

  2. Mara Dyer from "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer"
    1.Why were you chosen for this role in the story?
    Ms. Dyer: Well, I believe Michelle decided on me because I'm such a beautiful and seductive character that i provide an interesting twist to the story when the readers find that i could kill someone with the slightest thought.
    2 What other character was considered for your part?
    Ms. Dyer: Noah, my boyfriend in the story, was considered for the fact that he is also a seductive character with a special power readers wouldn't see coming.
    3. Why wasn't the other individual chosen?
    Ms. Dyer: Noah wasn't chosen for the fact that he couldn't provide a mysterious and exhilarating past that i could. Therefore the plot of the story wouldn't have continued into a trilogy.

  3. Patrick from The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

    Why were you chosen for this role in the story?
    Because, I think that if anybody else were to get the part. while watching the movie i would cry of how utterly discusting that person would be. and of course im fabulous so i got the part.

    If you could take back anything you did during this movie would you? what would it be and why?

    I wouldnt take back a thing.Everything i do is for a reason. Everything happens for a reason.


    Why wasnt any other individual chosen?

    Because they couldnt play the part as good as i do. therefore the movie would suck. really bad.
