The Outsiders



The Outsiders

S. E. Hinton

CHARACTER ANALSIS: WANTED POSTER

ASSIGNMENT DUE DATE: _________________________

Character Analysis:

An author creates characters that we laugh with, cry over, enjoy or even hate by letting us see or hear

• their physical descriptions or characteristics.

• what the character says that makes him / her an individual.

• what the character does that makes him / her an individual.

• what the character thinks or feels that makes him / her unique.

• the characters name and the relationships that are important to him / her.

• what other characters say to or about him / her.

• how other characters react to him / her.

We get to meet these characters in the pages of a poem, story or novel. A reader’s job is to use these clues to make the characters “real” as we read.

It is your job to create a wanted poster for a character in the novel. Below you will find the requirements of your task.

DIRECTIONS:

You will make a “Wanted” poster for a character in The Outsiders for which you have evidence that he/she has shown acts of heroism, loyalty or rivalry.

LOYALTY: Faithfulness to a person or group; devotion; having a sense of duty to someone.

*Within a “group”

RIVALRY: Competition or action against an opposing group/individual; antagonism; jealousy

*Between two “groups”

There is sometimes a fine distinction between both and how perception plays a role!
