For your assigned character choose one of the topics below (150 word maximum):
Comment on the way the character is introduced to us in the movie and how that introduction helps us get to know that character’s personality.
Write an interior monologue (what a character might be thinking) during a scene where the character is silent (speaks no dialogue for a period of time).
Give an example of any repeated actions or gestures made by the character and how these help to communicate a trait of character to the viewers.
