Imagine the characters in a book or a movie are like the people you know! Characterization is how the author shows us what a character is like—their personality, how they look, how they talk, and what they think and feel. Authors use two main ways to do this: they can tell us directly (like saying, "Sarah is brave"), or they can show us through the character's actions (like Sarah standing up to a bully) and words (the things Sarah says). All these details help you get to know the character, understand why they do what they do, and imagine them clearly in your mind!
