English Essentials 2, Writing Warmup: Introducing Complex Characters

Bell Ringer Activity:
For today's class, watch the video "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Characterization" and take notes on the following terms:

Protagonist vs. Antagonist
Flat vs. Round Character
FOIL Character

(and any other that seem important)

In the comments section below answer the following questions:
1) In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, who would be considered a flat character? Give one example and why.
2) Who would be considered a round character? Give one example and why.
3) Who would be considered a FOIL character? Give one example and why.

Answer thoughtfully and with little-to-no-errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar. You will receive a formative score for RL3, "I can analyze complex characters."

  1. 1.Anyone of the dwarves because all you know is they are fighters and brave.

    2.Bilbo is a round character because we know where he lived and how he lives. We know his life style and small things like that.

    3.Bilbo and Thorin because Thorin is a fighter and Bilbo isn't.
