Says, Does, Thinks, Buzz Game -- How We Learn About Characters
Protagonist: The main character in a story, often a good or heroic type.
Antagonist: The person or force that works against the hero (protagonist) of the story.
Narrator: The person or character who actually tells the story, filling in the background information and bridging the gaps between dialogue.
Point of View: The angle from which a story is told. The angle depends upon the narrator, or person telling the story. Most of the time the point of view will be either first-person point of view or third-person point of view.
first-person point of view: One of the characters is telling his or her own story.
third-person point of view: Someone from the outside of the story is telling it.
