Activity 1: CHARACTER THROUGH VARIATION
Task
Pick up an object from the basket.
Imagine the owner of the object.
Write notes on the owner of the object on a memo paper (e.g.:- what type of person he
or she is?)
Volunteer your description of the owner by reading it out.
The facilitator will then ask the real owner to confirm the description.
A character is responsible for the thoughts and actions within a story,poem, or other literature. Characters are extremely important because
they are the medium through which a reader interacts with a piece ofliterature. Every character has his or her own personality, which a
creative author uses to assist in forming the plot of a story or creating amood. The different attitudes, mannerisms, and even appearances of
characters can greatly influence the other major elements in a literary
work, such as theme, setting, and tone. With this understanding of thecharacter, a reader can become more aware of other aspects of
literature, such as symbolism, giving the reader a more completeunderstanding of the work. The character is one of the most important tools available to the
author.
Flat characters are two-dimensional inthat
they are relatively uncomplicatedand
do not change throughout the course ofa work.
By contrast, round characters are
complexand

undergo development, sometimes sufficientlyto surprise the reader.
A static character (which is usuallyrepresented by your flat character) does
not undergo changes and remains thesame, despite perhaps, having undergone
some event.
A dynamic character is a major characterin a work of fiction who encounters conflict and ischanged by it. Dynamic characters tend to be more fullydeveloped and described. If you think of the charactersyou most love in fiction, they probably seem as real toyou as people you know in real life.
Activity 2: SEAL YOUR THOUGHTS
Task
In groups, study the trigger given. (They are all Grandas thoughts about Rorys father.)
Write a character sketch of Rorys father based on what you have read in the trigger,
individually. (e.g.:-What kind of father/ son do you think Rorys father is?)
Write out the description on the piece of paper provided.
Insert the description into an envelope and submit it to your facilitator.

Static characters are minor characters in a work of fictionwho do not undergo substantial change or growth in thecourse of a story. Also referred to as "two-dimensionalcharacters" or "flat characters, " they play a supportingrole to the main character,who as a rule should be round, or complex.
Stock characters draw from widely known cultural typesfor their characteristics and mannerisms, and are oftenused in parody. Every culture has its own set of stockcharacters. In Italian commedia dell'arte, for example,Scaramouche epitomized the unscrupulous andunreliable servant. In modern American culture,Thurber's Walter Mitty created the
mold for the hen-pecked husband anddreamer.

Activity 3: DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER
You would have now realized that it is not reliable to arrive at an accuratedescription of a character based on one source. In Activity 1, you drew a
picture of Rorys father based on what Granda has to say about him. InActivity 2, you guessed a persons character based on what he/she owns.
There are many ways to find out more about a character.For example, in Activity 1, you could form a picture
of Rorys father based on what Granda says and thinks about him.
In your groups, look at the different ways to know about a character.Study closely the pages assigned to you. What information can you extract about Rory?

Who the character is...
Biographical informationincluding age, physical
description; and occupation isinvolved here. Questions that canbe answered by this kind of detail
are Who is this character?What does this person do for aliving? What kind of past has
this person had? What is thecharacters family background?
and What are the charactersgoals?
What the character says
Look closely at the dialogue inthe story. Consider not only
what the character says, but alsohow he or she says it (in dialect,slang, formal English) and to
whom he or shesays it. (Is the character
expressing the same feelings todifferent people, or is the
character acting as a different
person with different people?)
What the character does
In a short story, all action can be
significant. So whatever acharacter does can be crucial to
the readers understanding ofthat character. Consider,
particularly how the characteracts toward others, but dontforget to examine how thecharacter treats himself or
herself and how the characterachieves goals.
What the character thinks
Characters not only act; they
think. Thought is as revealing asaction. When a writer brings the
reader within the charactersmind, the reader has the
opportunity to explore thecharacters needs and desires,
fears and conflicts, motives andgoals.
Why the character does what he or shedoes...
Without proper motivation (that is, areason for actions), a characters
believability can fall apart. A good storyincludes, however subtly, clues as to why
the characters act the way they do.These clues may be found in such
elements as a characters background,education, or social position, or in a
characters own words. Withoutmotivation of character, a story can lack
coherence and order; it can become amere string of incidents.

In this activity you will have the opportunity to ask questions toRory and Granda about their actions, motives and feelings in the
novel. This activity compels you to think about the actionsof the characters and to analyze their characteristics. It will helpyou to have a better understanding of the forces that drive thecharacters in this novel.
Mahatma Gandhi
A character is questioned by the groupabout his or her background, behaviour
and motivation.The method may be used for developing a rolein the drama lesson or rehearsals, or analysing
a play post-performance.Even if done without preparation,
it is an excellent way of fleshing out a
character.Characters may be hot-seated individually, in
pairs or small groups.The technique is additionally useful for
developing questioning skills with the rest of
the group.
Task A
One volunteer is to play the role of Rory.
Sit on the hot seat in front of the class.
In groups of 5, generate questions to elicit information and opinion on their actions,motives or feelings related to the events in the novel.

Activity 5: LIFES RELAY
Theme is the central idea or message in a literary work.It is not the subject of the work (students often get thetwo definitions of theme confused). It is a perceptionabout human life.
Themes are rarely stated directly. They usually mustbe inferred.
The theme is revealed by the way characters changein a story, conflicts in the story, and statements madeby the narrator or characters.
Understanding themes involve understanding plot, characters, and setting.
In Catch Us If You Can, Granda describes the experiences he and Rory encounter as if
participating in a relay the people they meetare described as Passing [them] like thebaton in a relay race. Rory and Granda are the batons in the race to escape the police, toget to Liverpool.

SETTING
The setting is the backdrop of a story. It can define the actions of the characters, as well aspaint an inspiring canvas against which the characters relate, move, and deal with theirconflicts and problems. Setting also contributes to the mood and atmosphere in the story. Itgives reader clues about the emotions or feelings attached to the setting.
Literature Component - Novels 12
The setting encompasses a number of
different, but linked, elements: Time - day or night; summer or
winter; the historical period (anactual date)
Place - inside or outside; country orcity; specific town and country; realor fictional
Social- status, costumes, property,family background
Mood & Atmosphere - eerie;dangerous; menacing; tense;
threatening; relaxing; nostalgic;happy; light-hearted
The setting of a novel is like flour in a cake: perhaps less
compelling than the nuts and dried fruit, but if you forget to
include flour in the recipe, you will have no cake.

Like many of the metaphorical terms used to describe aspects ofnarrative, such as focus, perspective, the term point of view comesfrom a way of seeing, and seeing is itself often used metaphorically todescribe understanding. Recognising whose point of view is beingplaced in the foreground of a story gives the reader a greater sense ofhow the story can be understood and responded to.
The term point of view has several uses, both in everyday speechand in the study of narrative. When we say something like it dependsupon your point of view, we can mean, (a) it depends upon whereyou are positioned in the argument (i.e. are you an employer of anemployee?) and (b) it depends upon your personal beliefs and values.Both of these meanings of the term can be applied when looking at itsrole in narrative. It refers to both where the narrative is focused at anygiven time and the readers responses to what is being presented.

ACTIVITY 1 : PLOT STRUCTURE
Literature Component - Novels 25
When youre watching your favorite show on television whether its The
Simpsons or even American Idol have you ever noticed how the storyseems to unfold? First, you see where your story takes place and meet some
main characters. Then, those characters encounter some kind of situation or
problem that spurs them to action. Then, slowly as they start to face the
problem, they encounter more and more difficulties, until finally their problem
comes to a head and our hearts start pounding as we wait to see how the
hero will work her way out of this dilemma. After that, and because its TV, we
usually get a neat and tidy conclusion, and our hero is a winner. She has
conquered her problems, and we all feel happy for her ( Again, this is
assuming a Hollywood ending! Sometimes the hero can and does lose). Not
surprisingly, television producers didnt invent this pattern for good stories.Its actually been around as long as stories have been told. Its a pattern
called plot structure. If you were to chart it, plot structure would look
something like this:
