Directions for “One-Pager” Character Analysis

paper. It represents your own written and graphic interpretation of what you
have read. It may be very literal (based on the facts or information in the piece)
or it may be a symbolic representation of the piece. It helps you as a reader to
visualize what you are reading or have read.
