What is Character Development?
A character develops (ontwikkeld zich) throughout a story. Those changes are called character development. Some key points bring about these developments:

  • A character's wants: "I want to stay up all night, because it's fun"
  • A character's needs: "I actually need to sleep, because I'm tired"
  • A character's strengths: Qualities (nice, funny, smart, etc..) OR they have a super power (flying, super strength) OR, special skill (great at knife throwing)
  • A character's weaknesses: Qualities (jealousy, mean, evil), OR they have a disability of some kind (can't walk), OR they stand out (not part of the crowd, different, etc...)
  • A character's look: might start off with long hair, then it gets chopped off by an angry woodsman later on in the story, or they lose an eye, etc...
  • A character's behavior: might start off as a mean character, but turns into a nicer character throughout the story

The Small Black Cat: Now You

THINK OF THE FOLLOWING:
  • Small Black Cat's wants (stays the same): a home, food and a name
  • Change the cat's needs:
  • Change the cat's strengths:
  • Change the cat's weaknesses:
  • Change the cat's looks:
  • Change the cat's behavior:

    Write your story. Is the ending still the same? is it different?
In the original the want and need of the cat are the same. In your re-write the want is the same but the need has to change. You change it! Also,
Make it silly if you want! 100 words
