Characters
The document discusses different types of characters in stories including main and minor characters, dynamic and static characters, and flat and round characters. Main characters are central to the story's events while minor characters help move the plot along. Dynamic characters change over the course of the story, like Elsa in Frozen, whereas static characters remain unchanged like Hans. Flat characters are one-dimensional while round characters are fully developed with complex personalities like Katniss Everdeen.
Characters (10)
This document defines different types of characters that can appear in stories. The main character is called the protagonist, while the antagonist stands in opposition to the protagonist. Round characters are fully developed with many traits, while flat characters lack development and traits. A dynamic character changes over the course of the story, whereas a static character remains the same. For example, in Shrek, Shrek is the protagonist and Lord Farquaad is the antagonist. Shrek is also a dynamic and round character as he becomes softer and more well-rounded over the course of the film.
Character Analysis
There are four types of characterization: physical description, speech and actions, direct narrator comment, and other characters' speech and actions. There are also four types of characters: round characters who are complex and develop, dynamic characters who change over the story, flat characters described by one or two traits, and static characters who don't change. Major characters are usually round or three-dimensional, changing as a result of events, while minor characters are often flat or two-dimensional, lacking depth or balance. The protagonist is the main character, the antagonist opposes the protagonist, and a foil provides a contrast to the protagonist.
Static and dynamic characters
Static characters do not undergo important changes over the course of a story, remaining the same from beginning to end. Dynamic characters do change, often as a result of external conflicts, with changes in insights, understanding, values or commitments. The example given is that Prim from The Hunger Games is a static character who does not change, while Haymitch is dynamic as he sobers up and commits to helping the tributes over the course of the novel. Dynamic characters tend to be more fully developed and central to the story.
Characters in literature
This document defines and provides examples of key literary character types including protagonists, antagonists, round/flat characters, and dynamic/static characters. Protagonists are the main characters the audience empathizes with, while antagonists oppose the protagonist. Round characters are complex and multi-dimensional, whereas flat characters are simple and one-dimensional. Dynamic characters undergo internal changes throughout the story, in contrast to static characters who remain unchanged.
Literary Terms
The document defines and provides examples of various literary terms including:
- Allusion - a reference to a person, place or event
- Antagonist - the main opposing force or character
- Protagonist - the leading character
- Connotation and denotation - the implied and literal meanings of words
- Dialogue - a conversation between two or more characters
It also discusses literary elements like plot points, narrative perspective, types of conflicts, figurative language, tone and mood.
Types of characters
There are four types of characters in stories: flat characters have one major personality trait that never changes; round characters seem realistic with many traits and their personality may change over the story; static characters are minor with a flat personality that remains the same; dynamic characters are major characters that are typically round and their personality grows and evolves as the story progresses.
Character types
This document discusses different types of characters that commonly appear in literature. It defines major/central characters as vital to the plot and resolution, and minor characters as helping to move the plot forward. It also defines dynamic characters as those who change over time due to resolving conflicts, static characters as those who do not change, round characters as complex with contradictory traits, and flat characters as defined by a single trait. Stock characters are conventional stereotypes, while protagonists are the central characters faced with conflicts, and antagonists are those opposing the protagonists. Anti-heroes are protagonists who lack nobility, and foils are characters who contrast with others.

Examples like Shrek and Anakin Skywalker illustrate characters that undergo transformation.
Literary elements characters
Every story needs characters, which can be either dynamic or static. Stories also require a conflict such as man versus man or nature, as well as a setting, climax, and point of view. The protagonist is the main character, while the antagonist opposes them, and foreshadowing provides hints about what will happen next.
Types of Characters in Film
The document discusses character arcs, which describe the emotional change or development of a character over the course of a story. A character typically begins with a certain viewpoint that changes due to events in the narrative. Examples are provided of characters who transform from misogynistic to empathetic or carefree to traumatized. Character arcs are driven by inner conflicts that mirror the story's outer conflicts and keep the narrative tension high. Effective character arcs involve a character gradually overcoming a personal flaw or limitation through the rising and falling action of the plot.

Round characters have multiple traits and can change over time, while flat characters reveal only one or two traits and do not develop. Dynamic characters change and develop, whereas static characters remain the same. Stereotypical characters are generalized types that readers are familiar with from other stories. The document provides examples of characters and asks the reader to identify their type.
Analysis of characters
We used drama students to act in our thriller opening without much preparation time. This resulted in a very realistic performance, as we aimed to capture. For the scene of a girl running down a corridor, we used a student from our year since she was a real student who could suit the school setting. Her acting appeared authentic due to the limited preparation.
Propp
Vladimir Propp identified common character types and narrative functions in Russian folk tales. According to Propp's theory, characters fall into roles like the hero, who embarks on a quest and rescues the oppressed, the villain who opposes the hero, and the donor or dispatcher who provides assistance to the hero. Propp analyzed how these character types drive the narrative structure through their actions.
Narrative Theory
This document outlines three narrative theories: Todorov's five stages of narrative (equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, reparation, new equilibrium), Propp's identification of eight character archetypes in Russian fairytales, and Levi-Strauss's concept of binary opposition and how narratives can represent dominant social values. It also briefly discusses omniscient narration and how it can create dramatic irony and suspense.
Types of characters
This document discusses different types of characters in literature and film.

It also discusses character development and change, explaining the continuum between static and dynamic characters and how much a character should change over the course of a story to be considered well-developed.
Characters
This film supports Goffman's theory of character types:
- The mother (Lena) is the deuterogamist or secondary character who helps the protagonist.
- An evil character is portrayed as the fool by threatening the family in a joking manner.
- The father is the protagonist or hero who risks himself to protect his family.
- An initially mysterious homeless man (Edwin) is portrayed as a threat at first but turns out to be the hero.
Narrative and character theories2
The document summarizes several narrative and character theories:
1) Tzvetan Todorov identifies 5 stages in typical narratives: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and restoration.
2) Vladimir Propp identified common character types that appear in stories, including the hero, helper, villain, false hero, donor, dispatcher, princess, and princess' father.
3) Levi Strauss believed concepts are understood through their opposites, or "binary oppositions," like hero/villain and good/evil.

Character Chapter 5
5.1 Setting
Setting identifies conditions, including time and place, of the action in a story. The time may be
in the past, present, or future; the location may be real or imaginary. Also, setting is an element
that establishes the atmosphere in which the characters live and stimulates the reader’s imagi-
nation. Sometimes, it has a cultural aspect as well, which might include local customs, dress,
speech, or patterns of thought. To more fully portray people and life in a particular region, writ-
ers use local color—consisting of unique images, realistic dialogue, and true-to-life descriptions.
Usually, the author describes the setting as the story begins, often presenting necessary factual
information succinctly. And, typically, the setting includes a key element—perhaps a time of day,
a season, or a political or religious climate—around which the plot will unfold.
In “The Gift of the Magi,” discussed in Chapter 4, the basic time and place questions about the
setting are immediately answered: We are told that it’s Christmas Eve and that Della is in the
modest flat, with its broken mailbox and broken doorbell, that she and her husband share. She’s
sobbing on a “shabby little couch,” anxious about not having enough money to buy an adequate
Christmas gift for her husband—”something fine and rare and sterling.” Further, we are told that
Della and Jim, though they are being financially squeezed at the moment, have genuine affection
for each other, which enables them to accept their situation. Nevertheless, as Della moves to the
window, she is struck by the dullness of her life, reflected by “a gray cat walking a gray fence in a
gray backyard.”
In particular, these details allow the reader to connect to the physical place imaginatively.
Additionally, they provide essential information about the couple’s relationship and reveal Della’s
present emotional outlook. With the setting sufficiently established, action in the story begins—
urgently driven by Della’s feelings and the fact that it’s Christmas Eve and time is running out for
gift buying.

Characters and Characterization PowerPoint Presentation
This presentation is about characterization as a literary element and how it functions. in addition, it explores some types of characters in literature.
Introduction to characterization
This document discusses characterization and how plot and character work together in fiction. It provides examples from works like Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and A Doll's House to illustrate key points. The main ideas are:
1) Writers have to create believable characters and show inner change through words alone, drawing on skills in psychology, philosophy, history and more.
2) Crises or precipitating events can bring out the best or worst in characters and propel the plot. In Breaking Bad and A Doll's House, diagnoses and threats respectively drive changes.
3) Characters are revealed through how they deal with conflicts, and plots create opportunities for this through obstacles that force characters to act
Intro to characterization
This document discusses character development in fiction. It explains that believable, interesting characters are important to engage readers and viewers. Characters need to be distinguishable from each other and consistent, while also changing in response to plot events.

Character
Children are interested in characters that are involved in action and decision making. Characters in children's literature can be people, animals, or inanimate objects and are incomplete without different types of protagonists. Characterization is also provided through picture book illustrations. Traditional folktales rely on stock characters and have optimistic endings to comment on life lessons. Stories from many cultures often focus on the lazy but tricky character. Realistic animal stories expect animal characters to behave like real animals, though writers may imagine their thoughts and feelings. Science fiction has developed more fully realized characters as the genre focuses on future histories and how characters change. Classics continue to be read across generations because of their real characters that join one reader to the next.

Narrative Structure
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified 31 plot elements and 8 character types that commonly appeared. Propp found that while characters and stories varied greatly, the underlying narrative structures remained the same. These included character types like the hero, villain, and helper. Narrative theories also seek to understand common story structures, such as Todorov's three-step theory of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium, and the idea of binary opposition between two conflicting sides driving the narrative. Hansel and Gretel follows many of these common narrative patterns, such as having the children as heroes, the witch as villain, and a linear story structure moving from their initial situation to overcoming dangers in the forest.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
