Characterization in the Hunger Games: Building a TributeA character is a person1 in a piece of literature. Characters help us to feel connected to a story – we canidentify with them (see ourselves in them), admire them, learn from their choices, and connect them topeople we know in our daily lives. Characterization is the process of making the character feel “real” to thereader.There are two major methods for developing a character. Direct characterization is when the author tells thereader about the character by using abstract labels. For example, if Suzanne Collins wrote, “Katniss is brave,”that would be direct characterization because she makes the judgment about what kind of person Katniss is.Indirect characterization, on the other hand, is when the author shows the reader what the character is likeby using concrete examples – these can include 1) what the character says, 2) what the character thinks, 3) whatthe character does, 4) how the character affects other characters in the story, and 5) what the character lookslike.Consider the following chart of Katniss’s character:indirect characterizationdirect hairyKatniss says, “Ivolunteer astribute!”Katniss thinksabout runningaway with Gale.Katniss hunts inthe forest using abow and arrow.Katniss makesPeeta love her.Katniss has to bewaxed by Cinna.what she sayswhat she thinkswhat she doeseffect on othercharacterswhat she lookslikeFor this assignment, you will create a tribute character of your own! Your tribute will be your protagonist(the main character, oftentimes the hero of the story, and the person that the reader feels closest to).Eventually, you will fight your tribute against other students’ characters, who will be your antagonists (theopponent, competitor, or rival of the protagonist, and oftentimes the villain).1Although not necessarily a human person! Aliens, elves, and bunnies can all be characters too.

Step 1: Create your tribute card.Before characterizing your tribute, you need to decide on some basic biographical details. Go to http://imgur.com/gallery/OBlXn to look at some District propaganda posters to get inspired. Choose a District for your tribute based on the list below:District 1: luxury itemsDistrict 2: masonryDistrict 3: technologyDistrict 4: fishingDistrict 5: energyDistrict 6: transportationDistrict 7: lumberDistrict 8: textilesDistrict 9: grainDistrict 10: livestockDistrict 11: agricultureDistrict 12: coalFill out the following tribute card.Government of PanemNameDistrictAgeGendertribute face sketchTraining Score (1-12)Special Skills

Step 3: Write a rough draft of a scene where your tribute is chosen at the Reaping in his or her District.(Consider – is your tribute’s name chosen out of the bowl? Does he or she volunteer? How does his or herfamily react?) Your scene must include your five pieces of indirect characterization (underline these so thatyour teacher can see them).

Step 4: Create a rough draft illustration of your tribute. Draw things that represent the five pieces of indirectcharacterization that you mentioned in your Reaping scene. You can include elements such as facialexpressions, clothes, weapons, personal items, etc.

Step 5: Final DraftsRevise your Reaping scene. [ANNIE, CAN YOU HELP ME HERE? WHAT SHOULD WE REVISEFOR?]Your final Reaping scene must be: Between 300 and 500 words Typed Free of basic errors in spelling, capitalization, and punctuation Include your name and period on the frontUnderline your five instances of indirect characterization.Create a final illustration of your tribute. You may use a template that your teacher provides, or get creativeand make one using your own art materials.Your final tribute illustration must: Be neat Be colored Be detailed (don’t just draw a smiley face) Include evidence of your five pieces of indirect characterization Include your name and period on the back
