I personalize my learning about the types of literary characters by completing
this activity.
1. NEW INPUTS2. CONNECTIONS3. APPLICATIONS
Related Stuff
New concepts learned What I learned is quite unique, I can now
identify the types of characters in a movie, and a story how they act and what ending will they do. What is the impact of this character in the story and how well it will go for him/her.
NEW INPUTS18
This reminds me of… This kind of stuff reminds me of a comic
book back in my childhood days, I often read DC comics back then. I didn’t know any single character in the story and how will they result to. I often mistaken the hero to become the antagonist, but I realized know that some can be a protagonist who posses a antagonist quality.
CONNECTIONS19
Usefulness in real situations I can use this situations in real life for
example I can identify characters in a real life situation and what is there roles in our life. When watching a movie I can understand how the character acts.
