The Author’s Viewpoint
When writing a story, the author creates a character from scratch, thinking carefully about their
personality and behaviour. The vocabulary choices they use when writing about their character are very important in ensuring they develop a character’s mood, attitude, personality through speech, action and description.
Adverbials are very important in developing the character’s mood throughout a story.Slide3
