Indirect Description of a Character Trait (HOMEWORK)

Helen tells me there was some confusion about this assignment. Follow the bulleted list below and all will be well! *Check my sample at the first comment below.

  • Write 100 words (and no more than 125 maximum)
  • Your description should make a reader think to him or herself that your writing brings to life the descriptive adjective you have chosen, clearly and without question.
  • Your description must include dialogue (words of a character spoken aloud).
  • You must not use the adjective anywhere in your description.

Your adjectives: courageous, determined, intelligent, mysterious, secretive, sly. Post your writing as a comment to this posting, please. See you next Wednesday to begin work on a new short story.
