What is a Character?
There are two different types of characters in a story. Round Characters are the main characters in the story. A way to identify round characters is by looking for the following attributes: description, thoughts, dialogue, actions, and relationship to others. In Number the Stars , the Main characters are Annemarie, Ellen, Kirsti, and the mother. Flat Characters are the supporting characters in the story. In Number the Stars , the supporting characters are Uncle Henrik and the Rosens family.
