Question

What is characterization of the Stranger in "War Prayer"?

Answer 1

"CHARACTERIZATION: An author or poet's use of description, dialogue, dialect, and action to create in the reader an emotional or intellectual reaction to a character or to make the character more vivid and realistic. Careful readers note each character's attitude and thoughts, actions and reaction, as well as any language that reveals geographic, social, or cultural background."

Let us know if you still don't know what characterization is. Clearly, only you can write up what YOU SEE as the characterization of this character. Only you can identify what YOU felt or thought as you were learning about any particular character.
