Unlocking of Difficulties

Remember
 Equation- a situation involving many variables
 Circle- a shape form by a set of points that are of the same distance from a specific point called
the center.
 Sex- the state of being male and female
 Gender- refers to social and cultural references rather than biological ones.
 LGBT- acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
 Characterization- the artistic representation of a character; may be direct or indirect
 Direct characterization- personality of a character is directly revealed through the use of
descriptive adjective and phrases.
 Indirect characterization- personality is revealed through her/ his speech, thoughts, effects on
others, actions, and appearance.
