Indiana Academic Standards and Indicators: 10.3.3 Evaluate interactions between characters in a literary text and explain the way those interactions affect the plot. Example: Compare the development of the characters as they are represented in Merlin: The Coming of Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, retold in a collection by David Day and The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck. Analyze characters traits by what the characters say about themselves in narration, dialogue, and soliloquy (when they speak out loud to themselves). Example: Read works, such as Im Nobody! Who Are You? by Emily Dickinson or In Search of Our Mothers Gardens by Alice Walker, and analyze the characters, citing specific examples from the text to develop this description.
