Characters can be round or flat. Round characters have complicated, realistic personalities. They have many traits, and these traits are both good and bad. In contrast, flat characters have simple personalities. They don't have many traits. Think of a character in a book or story you have read recently. What are his or her traits? Are they a flat or round character? Why?

The character I recently read about is named John. He is a round character because he has a complex personality. He is kind and generous, but he also has a temper and can be stubborn. He is also very determined and hardworking. He is a round character because he has both positive and negative traits, and his personality is realistic and complex.
