New concepts learned I knew and I learned the different types of

characters, hero, anti-hero, tragic hero, caricature, antagonist, nemesis, shape-shifter, change agent, romantic angle, sidekick, mentor, foil, comic relief, extras, chorus, flat characters and round characters.

How they are differ from each other. Like hero and antagonist. Hero is the one who is the main character of the story, who most of the time has a good attitude while the antagonist is the opposite of the protagonist.

NEW INPUTS18

This reminds me of… This reminds me of some happening in my life

that I knew what type of character I portrait sometimes. Example:

When I joined in the Miss elementary Princess and I feel I’m a real princess of the night that I don’t forgot.

In my childhood life I can’t deny that sometimes I’m became an antagonist because when I was a child me and my cousin got in war between my other cousins that I knew we are in wrong side.

I also knew that in real life there are many different of role that people does. They maybe the protagonist or the antagonist.

CONNECTIONS19

Usefulness in real situations I want to become a hero. A hero for

everyone who need my help. I want to portrait a good character in real

life so that I become good example to everyone.

Sometime we need to be antagonist in some situation in my life for the good of other people.

We are the main character in our own life so do our best to do better things in life and show who you really are.
