In today's literary world, whether you are a writer, cartoonist, screenwriter or online writer, character building is undoubtedly one of the most critical elements. A successful persona can not only impress the reader, but also elicit empathy and emotional projection from the reader.
Recently, I read a book called "A Treasure Trove of Character Setting Ideas", in which the authors Angela Ackerman and Becca Pulisy gave an in-depth look at how to create a character with positive traits**, 99 types of positive traits in characters, and I was amazed.
The book "A Treasure Trove of Character Setting Ideas" is highly practical. It is no wonder that this book is read not only by writers, but also by directors, actors, speakers, mobile game producers, advertising and marketers.
In this book, the author provides a series of words about character traits, such as "polite", its definition, similar qualities, possible causes, related behaviors, related thoughts, related emotions, positive aspects, negative aspects, examples from literature (for example, a fragment from "To Kill a Mockingbird"), and even what such a character's challenging scene looks like, the author has listed them in detail, which makes the creator more handy in character creation.
Secondly, I was also impressed by the depth and breadth of the book. The author not only introduces the vocabulary of different types of character traits, but also provides an in-depth analysis and explanation of these traits. This allows the reader to have a more complete understanding of what each trait means and when it can be used in a more comprehensive way.
Moreover, the cases in this book are rich and interesting. Through a large number of examples from movies, literary classics, and historical figures, the author shows how to use different character trait vocabulary to create characters with positive traits from different perspectives. These cases not only help readers better understand the theoretical knowledge introduced in the book, but also provide readers with more inspiration for character building.
It can be said that the book is also very educational and revelatory. Through reading this book, I not only learned how to better portray characters with positive traits, but also gained a deeper knowledge and understanding of human nature, relationships, and emotions. These realizations and understandings have not only inspired my work, but also had a positive impact on my life.
In conclusion, "A Treasury of Character Setting Ideas" is a book well worth reading. Whether you are a creator or a regular reader, as long as you are a storyteller, you can get a lot of beneficial inspiration and help from it.
