Waverly is mean because of the way she speaks “freely” to her mother.

Characterization statement

Definition: Indirect – Reader must make inferences about a character based on the author’s description

Ex: “When he smiled and asked what they served, I shouted, ‘Guts and duck’s feet and octopus Gizzards’.” (Tan 264) This shows Waverly is mischievous because she joked with the tourists about what the Chinese restaurant sold.

Definition: Direct – Author tells reader directly about character Ex: “It’s not that, its just

so obvious. It’s just so embarrassing.” (Tan 270) This shows Waverly is embarrassed of her mother because she tells her mother how she feels about her showing her off.

Appearance – How the character looks Ex: “I wore neatly plaited braids clipped with plastic barrettes trimmed

with rhinestones.” (Tan 269) This shows Waverly is a girl because she is wearing barrettes and rhinestones.

Dialogue – What the character says to others Ex: “Want to play?” (Tan 267) This shows Waverly is determined

because she insisted on learning to play chess and approached Lau Po to play with her.

Narration – What the character/narrator says Ex: “I found it difficult to function at home. My mother had a habit of

standing over me…” (Tan 270) This shows Waverly is a hard-worker because she practices chess at home on her spare time.

Actions – What the character does Ex: “I fled down the alley, past dark curtained shops…” (Tan 271) This

shows Waverly is a coward because she did not face her mom immediately after she hurt her mom.

External & Internal Conflict

“I jerked my hand out of my mother’s tight grasp and spun around.” ( Tan 271) Indirect

This shows Waverly’s external conflict is a struggle with her mother over the embarrassment she feels when her mother “shows her off”.

“I closed my eyes and pondered my next move.” (Tan 272) Indirect

This shows Waverly’s internal conflict is her struggle with how to resolve her embarrassment with her mother “showing her off”.

(Topic sentence) Michener is stubborn because his dialogue indirectly characterizes him as such. (Example sentence) For example, “I protested: No, No, No rugs!” (Michener 317) (Explanation sentence) This exemplifies Michener’s stubbornness because he refused to take the rugs.

Definition: Author’s attitude in the story

Example: Plath’s tone in “Tulips” is very negative towards her stay in the hospital.

Definition: Feeling created in the story

Example: The mood the figurative language Plath uses on “Tulips” is depressing and sad.

Definition: Subject

Example: A topic in “Rules of the Games” is respect within family relationships.

Definition: Message (about life or human nature)

Must be a statement! Example: In “Rules of the

Game” the theme is to respect your parents, because they only want what is best for you. Waverly was disrespectful to her mother when she yelled at her about the embarrassment she felt.

Recurring theme – occurs in more than one story

Topic: A topic in “Dreams” is the importance of dreams.

Topic: A topic in “Dreams Deferred” is lost dreams.

“Dreams” Theme: In “Dreams” the theme is to not let go of your dreams because they are important in life. (Topic sentence)

“Dreams Deferred”

Theme: In “Dreams Deferred” the theme is hold on to your dreams because you don’t want to find out what happens to dead dreams.

(Topic sentence) The theme in the poem “Dream Deferred” is (restate question) hold on to your dreams (theme) because you don’t want to find out what happens to lost dreams. (Example) For example, “What happens to a dream deferred…does it stink like rotten meat?” (904) (Explanation sentence) This simile shows that you should hold on to your dreams because the outcome will be unpleasant.
