CHARACTER ASSIGNMENT
1.) Choose one of the following characters to be your character:  Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Dallas "Dally" Winston or Sherri "Cherry" Valance

2.) Write your character's full name at the top of a piece of paper

3.) Using all of the characterization information (direct) and clues (indirect), draw your character in the center of the paper.  You MUST use your text to make sure every detail is covered in your character's physical features.

4.) Then go through the chapters you've read so far.  Find quotes that show (indirect characterization) who the character really is and what they're all about.  Use your notes (the S.T.E.A.L. method) for finding this information if you need help.
