Direct characterization is when the author tells us about the character. Indirect is when the author shows us the character. Direct characterization in my book is that Carter is kind of tall, brown hair, strong and athletic.Setting is where, when, and what time the story takes place. The protagonist is the good or the hero in the story. The antagonist is the enemy/villian in the story. The protagonist in my book is Carter.The antagonist in my book are the older kids and the jocks.The plot is the main event or what the story is mainly about.
