One thing to clarify would be that, since there /can/ be some overlap between the Foil and the Influencer, is that the Influencer needs to be directly trying to persuade the protagonist to come over in order to be a proper Influencer.

Tavalii. Female, twenty two, but small and birdlike with bony hands. She’s a fantasy priestess of a false religion (and she knows its false) who was dedicated to the Temple of the Stars at birth and doesn’t care about herself enough to bother about doing something about any of it. Usually bored. Hates the face-paint and ceremonial wreaths and…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Yes, I figured. But hey, everything about art doesn’t have to be realistic. Not that I’m saying it’s bad to learn to draw more realistically but don’t give up your ‘little people’ completely. They are adorable. 😀 And I love the wolf too! So does Tor; he loves his wolf.

@I-J-Anderson I’ve been laughing myself silly over this sketch for about five minutes… Don’t ask me why, but she came to me in caricature and I did my best. *wipes eyes* Here. Have a good laugh.

How important do you think minor characters are to a story’s theme? Can you think of any other stories where minor characters played an impactful role in the story’s theme? If so, share the example here!

Take three minor characters in your story and briefly sketch out what their experiments in living are going to be and how they’re going to be related to the story’s theme.

Choose two of the three different ways of connecting major characters to protagonists and compare and contrast these two ways. What unique strengths does each way have when compared to the other?

@perfectfifths *squeals* That is adorable! I’m not sure how old he is supposed to be… it reminds me of him as a lad, playing at wolf-riders and hoping to join one day. *grin* It’s so cute!

Josiah DeGraaf started the topic Homework for Video 15: Theme & Major Characters in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 6 months ago

Take one major character who’s neither the protagonist nor the villain and figure out how that character relates to your story’s theme. Develop a character arc for them and determine which of the three paths they’re going to follow and how that path will best complement your story’s theme.

@Daeus @Emma-Flournoy hm… *scratches head**twists face sideways**grimaces* Hm. I seem to have something like that on my schedule, yes.

@emma-flournoy Oh! I know of someone to ask. @kate-flournoy Will you be there?

Daeus replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago

@perfectfifths Uh, I probably could… I’ll finish the first one for now and then if I’ll let you know after that.

@emma-flournoy Hmm. ENFJ much?

Josiah DeGraaf started the topic Discussion for Video Fourteen: Theme and Villain in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 6 months ago

Choose your favorite villain in literature and examine why he’s such a good villain. Which of the three roles does he represent with regards to that story’s hero? And how does he seem to inwardly justify himself? Post your results here!
