1.) Qualities of Character

A quality is something that people may have as part of their character, for example courage or intelligence.

Characters experience conflict because of their different qualities. ◦These conflicts are often the basis for

the plot and how the story unfolds. Sometimes the reader can predict how a conflict will be resolved between characters, and sometimes it comes as a surprise.

Example Question: If Tony has strong technical skills and Steve does not, what conflict are they most likely to experience if they are assigned to work on a computer project together?

A.)They might argue over whose computer to useB.)Tony might resent having to do most of the technical workC.)Steve might be angry with Tony for planning the projectD.)They might disagree about what grade they should get on the project
