This document discusses characterization in stories. It defines characterization as the process writers use to reveal a character's traits. There are two main methods: direct characterization tells the reader what a character is like, while indirect characterization shows the reader through a character's actions, speech, thoughts, and how others react to them. The document provides examples of both direct and indirect characterization and examines the different elements writers can use like appearance, actions, speech, thoughts and feelings to indirectly characterize their characters.

Emoting is used for expressing oneself visually, as opposed to verbally. It’s done in 3rd person and happens on the main chat window. It takes place when a role player types in an action that causes a reaction, as a consequence, everyone else in the same room or area as your character sees your character's short description followed by what you type, reacting to it to create a scene that can be short or part of a bigger story. Emoting is most often used to express feelings, gestures, and creating images. When telling stories, a very common structure in writing scenes is the action-reaction-emotional response element. The character does something (or something is done to them), they react to it, and they feel something about that reaction.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Character Traits
What’s your best friend like?
Is she . . .
Is he . . .
funny?
patient?
outgoing?
thoughtful?
curious?
shy?
3. Character Traits
The words you use to describe your friend are
his or her character traits.
Now, how did you find out
that your friend is funny,
patient, and outgoing?
Did she tell you?
“Hi! I’m funny,
patient, and
outgoing!”
Or did she show you?
4. Characterization
In a story, the process of revealing a character’s
traits is called characterization.
Writers use two methods to delineate, or carefully
describe, their characters.
Writers who tell
you what a
character is like are
using direct
characterization.
Writers who show
you what a
character is like are
using indirect
characterization.
5. Characterization
This writer uses direct characterization to tell
you exactly what the character is like.
Sally is funny, honest, and kind—a
rare combination at her school. She
has a smile that makes people trust
her right away, and she never lets
anyone down.
The writer even lists Sally’s
character traits for you.
6. Characterization
Most writers use indirect characterization. They
want you to observe the characters and decide for
yourself what they are like.
Sally found the new girl and asked
her to kick the ball around and get
warmed up. Soon, other players
asked to join in. The coach smiled.
Everyone seemed to work a little
harder when Sally was around.
This writer shows you what Sally
is like.
7. Characterization
Indirect characterization is more like the way
we find out about people in real life.

Is this an example
of direct
characterization,
or is it indirect
characterization?
Quick Check
Tony stared down at the slip of
paper in his hand. Several times he
picked up the phone, then set it
down again. Finally he dialed the
number, then waited while it rang
and rang. He was clearing his
throat just as someone picked up
on the other end. “Is Kendra
there?” Tony blurted without a
hello.

12. Elements of Characterization
Appearance is often your first clue to character.

brown eyes blazing What at Mr. can Martinez. you guess He about

tucked into slacks that
were just a little too short, showing black
socks. His shoes were scuffed brown leather
—but showed signs of a recent polishing.
What can you guess about “the new boy” based
on this description of his appearance?
13. Elements of Characterization
Actions give us another clue to character. What
does the character do?
Luis danced into the kitchen, singing along
with the song on the radio. He paused just
long enough to give his mother a loud kiss on
the cheek, then danced out the door.
Which of these words would you use to describe
Luis as a character? (You may pick more than one.)
shy depressed affectionate cheerful
14. Elements of Characterization
Listen to how a character talks. Her speech will tell
you what she’s like—indirectly.
“I don’t have to do what you
say!” screamed Darlene as she
kicked the new baby sitter in
the shins.
Is Darlene . . .
timid?
stubborn? easygoing?
or aggressive?

of a cat person.
However, in a story you can find out a character’s
thoughts and feelings.
16. Elements of Characterization
Thoughts and feelings can show you how a
character reacts to certain types of situations.
Julie wanted to cry when she saw the stray
cat. Its ribs were showing. She desperately
wanted to add it to her well-fed tribe of cats at
home.
How would Julie react if she
saw other children teasing
an animal?
17. Elements of Characterization
Other characters’ reactions to a character can
be helpful.
How do others act toward the character? What do
they say?
18. Elements of Characterization
Just as in real life, you have to consider the source.
Can you trust another character’s reactions?
“Yeah,
right.”
If a character is insulting
to everyone, her
comments probably tell
you more about her than
the others.

Quick Check
Jackson spent the first day of
summer vacation in his room reading
comic books. Several times, when his
little brother stopped by and asked if
he wanted to play a game or go to the
park, Jackson said no.
“But Jackson, it’s the FIRST DAY of
vacation,” Devon whined. “How can
you sit in here and read?!!”
“Listen, squirt, quit bugging me!”
Jackson felt a twinge of guilt, but he
didn’t take back his words.
