us about a person. This is used over the course of a
story in order to tell the tale. Let’s figure it out from the
example below:

41. CHARACTERIZATION

noble Harry Potter,” or “good Harry Potter”.

42. It is a description of the
most typical or important
qualities of the
characters.

described by Dobby in the
example, we can say that
