For my graveyard video I decided I wanted to highlight the literary element characterization.Characterization is all about conveying a character in words or pictures or both. In this video, I included characterization when I drew a picture of what I thought the main character, Bod, looked like. I drew him when he was older, so he's wearing regular kids clothes, not the drab fabric that he had when he was younger. He's not colored in because his wardrobe doesn't stand out only his great personality traits. In the book, he blends in so he does not have any bright colors. Also, at the end of the video I wrote down some characteristics about Bod that I learned about him while reading //The Graveyard Book//. Bod is very brave, and this is actually a theme in the book reavealing that literary elements work together. He's brave when he slays all the Jacks, and when he talks to them face to face. Since he's not that strong, he gets rid of the Jacks with his brain and not his fists, which works out better. If Bod didn't have the characteristics that he learned and was born with, he would probably be dead. His kindness, bravery, and cleverness save his life!
