 DIALOGUE can reveal a lot about characters and their
relationships with each other. Pay attention to:
 What characters say and don’t say
 How characters respond to each other
 Also pay attention to language the author uses to describe the
characters’ looks, clothes, and demeanor.
The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his
pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made
his eyes red, his thin lips blue. . . .

characters’ reactions, and actions) but allow us to decide what
