Introduction

Hey reader! Today, we will continue our review with characters in a story. When we think of characters, we want to think of their character trait and evidence that supports the character trait. As we get older, we want to use less words like "nice" or "kind" and really focus on what makes that character nice or kind. Is there a more descriptive word to describe that character?
