Giving characters struggles and motivation

English
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago

To give your characters struggles and/or motivation, you need to find something they want to strive toward. Your character is a person, just like anyone in real life. They have goals, they have things they hate. They have a backstory that could provide a reason for their struggles, such as they grew up in a fairly wealthy home, but now they got disowned and are dealing with how to make their own money.
Motivation tends to come from a struggle. For example, the character that is struggling with how to make their own money also has a motivation: money. They are used to having money, that now that they don't, they're going to try to get that money back. Sometimes, the character will have a lull in their motivation, which gives a perfect chance for a climax in the story. Something big happens to give them their push. Maybe they lose the apartment they were staying in because they were too lazy to find a job. Or maybe their significant other tells them that because they're such a worthless, jobless loser, that they're breaking up. No matter what this big event is, it shakes the character out of whatever lull they've been having and shows them that they need to be able to overcome their struggle, therefore providing them with their motivation back tenfold.
I hope this explains this well enough for you, but I can always try to answer in more detail if you'd like.

Answer:

3: Scout would chew gum she found in a tree because it tasted good & it was Wrigley's double mint.

4: Jem got mad at Scout for chewing gum because it was found at the Radley place.

5: I would chew gum from the tree because I believe that the Radleys aren't as horriffic as everyone says they are.

6: I think that one of the Radleys put the gum there for kids in general, not just for Scout, whether it was mal intended or not.

7: It's not right for the kids to act out the Radleys because they have no idea what actually happened, just gossip from neighbors. It is rude to make fun of people's lives.

8.) Scout defines the term as a "strict commitment to the Baptist religion without allowing for any bending of those views in any situation," or "all enjoyment is bad."

9.) Miss Maudie is the Finches' neighbor and is one of their (the children's) good friends

10.) Jem lost his pants because the children snuck into the Radley's back yard. They got scared because they saw a shadow, and frantically trying to get out, thinking it was Boo Radley's shadow, Jem's pants got stuck and he lost them in the process.

11.) The children would snoop around the Radley's place because they wanted to catch a glimpse of Boo Radley's face.

12.)  One of the Radleys fired a gun at the children because he was aware that someone was in his back yard and it was either a child, an animal, or a negro.

13.) Jems pants showed up folded neatly and stitched up at the top of the fence

14.) The other children recieve two figures carved in soap, followed by chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch.

15.) They know the gifts are for them because the two carved figures are them.

16.) Mr. Radley plugged the knothole in the tree because the tree is dying.
