Story: "Nethergrave" by Gloria Skurzynski.

Body Paragraph 1- Characterization

Analysis: In your own words, explain HOW the quote ("he had slowly shifted from a listener to a participant in their world.") proves the character’s traits and the type of characterization used in the story.
2-3 sentences

The quote shows that the character has evolved and changed over time. At first, he was merely observing the world of the fantasy game that the other characters were immersed in, but as time went on, he became more engaged and actively involved in the game. This demonstrates the character's adventurous and curious nature, as well as his willingness to step out of his comfort zone and immerse himself in new experiences. The type of characterization used here is dynamic, as the character undergoes a significant transformation throughout the story.
