FRIDAY SECTION ONLY

This is for Friday only.  Other sections should disregard this post.

By now you should have made significant progress into your novel, if you haven't already finished it.  You should have a good sense of who its people are.  Choose one of these people and write a brief character sketch.  Think of it a a general overview or introduction to the person.  Include some of the basic details about him or her (name, age, race, sex, hometown, occupation), but also try to dig deeper into the character's personality.  What are some of attitudes, habits, fears, or personality traits that make him or her unique?  Be sure to use specific examples from the text to support your conclusions.

Don't forget to keep the skills from this class in mind.  Try to write focused paragraphs that make specific claims and support those claims with detailed examples.

Your response should be no longer that one double-spaced page.
