  3. Raucous “Moms and dads got into fights all the time in Battle Mountain, so it didn’t seem that big of a deal, but this fight was raucous even by local standards, and some people thought they should step in and break it up,” (Walls).

  4. What Makes a Memorable Character? STEAL Speech Thoughts Effects on others Actions Looks

  5. The Best Teacher I Ever Had The best teacher I ever had was Mrs. Bass. She was nice and thought I was smart and so she let me get away with not doing my homework.

  6. Mrs. Bass paced the room. Her thick bangs swept into her eyes as she read aloud from The Catcher in the Rye holding the book far too close to her face. In the back of the room near the radiator that thumped and hummed even the football players intently followed along, raising their hands to read passages aloud. I watched her move, awestruck. She was a portly woman, shaped like a mother and when I couldn’t keep up with my reading she often let it slide instead of chastising me. She was the first person to make me feel like I was smart.

  7. Select a journal entry from the list. Try to incorporate the elements of STEAL (characterization) as you write. You may characterize yourself, the narrator, or any other character that arises in your journal entry.

  8. In Your Response Groups Read the memoir aloud: • What character did you most identify with and why? • Does the text present good characterization? Explain. • Identify the passages where you see good characterization • What is the author’s truth? Why did he she write this? • In what ways is this similar or different to The Glass Castle. • What narrative elements do you notice in the essay? In the Glass Castle?
