Write About Writer’s Craft A Good Topic To choose a good topic, first think about what interests you. Then narrow the focus so you can cover the topic completely. I narrowed the focus to be about my character’s own thoughts about one incident. I tried to show how General Gage felt about Henry’s request. a Character Sledding Can Bring People Together by Louisa P. Today the most remarkable thing happened. I was doing my job supervising Boston Common when a brave young boy approached me. He asked my permission to sled on the nearby hills. All my troops were stationed there. I had a big decision to make. Should I allow the boy to sled or not? Memories of my own children flashed before my eyes. How much they too would enjoy sledding on the Common if they had a chance. My heart felt tender towards the young lad. He saw his favorite sledding spot occupied by troops on his birthday. If I said yes, I would make his special day even more extraordinary. My officer was standing by to see how I would react to this strange request. He probably could not understand why I was being so gracious. I figured it was a small kindness. Even during a time of war it is easy enough to do an act of peace. 288
Fictional Narrative Your Turn Write a brief character sketch from a first-person point of view. You may base your character on somebody you know, or choose a character from a book, movie, or TV show. Choose words that express the character’s personality and feelings. Use the writer’s checklist to check your writing. Writer’s Checklist Ideas and Content: Did I choose a good topic and narrow the focus to include the most interesting details about my character? Organization: Does the sequence of ideas make sense? Voice: Does the first–person point of view express my character’s feelings and thoughts? Word Choice: Do the words reveal my character’s personality? Sentence Fluency: Do the sentences match the way the character would speak? Conventions: Do my subjects and verbs agree? Did I check my spelling? 289
