Comments

Learners who can identify with a character and describe a situation from the character’s point of view are able to interpret and respond to the situations of characters from all genres of literature. Also, learners who can utilize personification to help them relate to nonhuman characters in a text can further develop this ability to create their own fictional characters and plotlines.
