Okay, what is the difference between these 2 questions:
What are the things your friend should know about htis person? What makes him/her interesting?
Please explain the differences between those two questions.
LIke, if I say the character likes chocolate chip cookies and I write it under interesting. Woudn't that also fit under about the character?
Thank you very much.
You might tell your friend that the character likes chocolate cookies, if your friend does too. I wouldn't call it interesting, but it might establish a bond with the character. An interesting fact might be that the character has spent a lot of time traveling in Europe.
Things you should know about someone = hot temper; of a particular religion; recently lost a loved one ... etc.
Interesting things are usually positive things, like what you said about choc chip cookies.
The first question, "What are the things your friend should know about this person?" focuses on providing information about the person that is important or necessary for a friend to know. This could include facts about their background, personality traits, or specific preferences or interests. The purpose of this question is to give your friend a better understanding of who the person is.
On the other hand, the second question, "What makes him/her interesting?" is more focused on identifying qualities, attributes, or characteristics that make the person stand out or captivating. It aims to explore what makes the person unique or intriguing from an individual perspective.
While it is possible for some details to fit into both categories, it's important to consider the intention behind each question. In your example, if a character in question likes chocolate chip cookies, you could consider including it under both categories. However, it may be more fitting under the first question to provide information about the character's preferences, while under the second question, you may want to focus on other aspects that make them interesting beyond just liking a specific type of cookies.
Ultimately, the key distinction lies in the purpose of each question and what kind of information you are trying to convey about the person.
