Page 24: Ppt. characters

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

Page 25: Ppt. characters

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

Page 26: Ppt. characters

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.
