"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans." --Ronald Reagen, 40th U. S. President
"A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation." --Mark Twain, humorist and author

Students worked in small groups to identify at least one character trait of their assigned character. They were to label each passage they highlighted with the form of characterization utilized.
