https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America_in_other_media
In my own words: Steve Rogers, a sickly man from Brooklyn who is transformed into super-soldier Captain America to aid in the war effort.
My own example: Rogers must stop the Red Skull, Adolf Hitler's ruthless head of weaponry and the leader of an organization that intends to use an artifact called the "Tesseract“ as an energy-source for world domination.

ANTI-HERO
ANTI-HERO

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_The_Winter_Soldier
In my own words: She's a character who lies for a living. That's what she does. He's a character who tells the truth. Give them a problem and they'll have different ways of approaching it. She's pushing him to modernize, and he's pushing her to add a certain level of integrity to her life
My own example: working for the government throughout their professional careers. With their friendship they begin to question what they want and what is their true identity.

TRAGIC HERO
TRAGIC HERO
A pararescueman trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack.
http://www.blackactionfigure.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/0Falcon.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_The_Winter_Soldier
In my own words: About the role, Mackie said "[Wilson is] a really smart guy who went through major military training and becomes a tactical leader.“ Remarking, "He's the first African-American superhero.
My own example: Falcon has shown some ability to apparently control birds, as shown when he enlisted their aid in attacking Scarecrow, and when, badly injured and manacled to a wall, he telepathically summoned a large number of different birds from the surrounding area to smash through a window and attack the Red Skull.

CARICATURE
CARICATURE
Pearl Krabs (voiced by Lori Alan) is Mr. Krabs' teenage sperm whale daughter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SpongeBob_SquarePants_characters#Pearl_Krabs
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140824164851/spongebob/images/d/d8/PearlKrabs.png
In my own words: The series has yet to explain their disparity in species, although in the book SpongeBob's Trivia Book, Mr. Krabs explains that Pearl takes after her mother, suggesting that her mother is a whale.
My own example: Her mother is never seen or mentioned in the series. Pearl is frequently embarrassed by her father's cheap attitude and often forces him to try and change his habits.

2. Types of AntagonistsThere are five kinds of antagonists.
61. THE MAIN ANTAGONIST
2. THE NEMESIS3. THE SHAPE-SHIFTER4. THE CHANGE AGENT
5. THE ROMANTIC ANGLE
ANTAGONIST
The Joker (The Dark Knight)
The Joker is a fictional character portrayed by Heath Ledger and the main antagonist of the film The Dark Knight, the second film In The Dark Knight trilogy.
https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=antagonist+joker&biw=1024&bih=499&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIkaPijKPexgIVxSqICh1_2gfb#imgrc=QCyhraD4vHf8DM%3A
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joker_(The_Dark_Knight)
In my own words: In The Dark Knight, the Joker is depicted as a maniacal criminal mastermind who terrorizes Gotham City and whose goal is to plunge it into anarchy.
My own example: The Joker has been described as a "psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy." He was portrayed by the late Heath Ledger, in the role that won him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

NEMESIS
Johann Schmidt / Red Skull
Captain America's nemesis and Adolf Hitler’s head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a magical object known as the Tesseract.
https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=protagonist+in+captain+america&biw=1024&bih=499&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIvraT4_LPxgIVCYCSCh1fbQZ9#tbm=isch&q=red++skull+in+captain+america+movie&imgrc=I1rjt1cPjjYY1M%3A
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_The_First_Avenger#Captain_America:_Civil_War
In my own words: I think the major difference between Skull and Cap, they've both had the serum, and the serum seems to augment certain qualities that each of them have. Cap is much more in tune with other people I think. Schmidt is in tune with himself, and his own needs, and his own ego, so I suppose it augments that. From that point of view, they're quite opposite
My own example: In the film, Red Skull is the commander of the terrorist organization Hydra. Weaving stated that he patterned Red Skull's accent on those of Werner Herzog and Klaus Maria Brandauer.

SHAPE-SHIFTER07
Mystique
Mystique’s ability to shapeshift comes from her mutant power. She is normally blue-skinned and yellow-eyed, but with the ability to look like whoever she wants, Mystique is rarely found in her “normal” form.
https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=antagonist+joker&biw=1024&bih=499&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIkaPijKPexgIVxSqICh1_2gfb#tbm=isch&q=Mystique+%E2%80%93+X-Men+movies&imgrc=gCv1ewCzm_rvGM%3A
http://unrealitymag.com/movies/10-memorable-shapeshifters-from-film-and-television/
In my own words: In the X-Men movies, Mystique uses her shapeshifting ability for infiltration and to aid Magneto. She even teases Wolverine a bit by transforming right before his eyes as a sexual sampler of sorts.
My own example: During the battle at the Statue of Liberty to stop Magneto from using the device on the UN Summit, she has an extended fight with Wolverine, proving to be too nimble for him to hit. Wolverine defeated her when she tried to impersonate Storm to distract him. As she cannot mask her scent, he saw through the ruse and stabbed her. She survives, however, and morphs into the form of a fallen police officer. As a result, she is able to slip past the police that descend on the building.

CHANGE AGENT
CHANGE AGENT
Magneto is a fictional character appearing in American comic bookspublished by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto_(comics) https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=change+agent

In my own words: The character is a powerful mutant, a subspecies of humanity born with superhuman abilities, and has the ability to generate and control magnetic fields.
My own example: Magneto desires mutants to dominate the human race as he views humans as an outdated species that no longer deserves its continual domination over the world.

ROMANTIC ANGLE
ROMANTIC ANGLE
Lois Lane is a fictional character appearing in comic books published byDC Comics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lane
http://i2.cdnds.net/13/21/618x270/movies-man-of-steel-amy-adams-lois-lane.jpg
In my own words:In this modern version of events, Lois was portrayed as a tough-as-nails reporter who rarely needed rescuing. She was depicted as strong, opinionated, yet sensitive.
My own example: Clark Kent/Superman(Dean Cain) and Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher) as they first meet, and begin a working and romantic relationship with each other.

3. Types of Support CharactersThere are six types of supporting characters.
61. THE SIDEKICK CHARACTER2. THE MENTOR CHARACTER
3. THE FOIL CHARACTER4. THE COMIC RELIEF
CHARACTER5. THE EXTRAS
6. THE CHORUS (e.g., Greek tragedy)
SIDEKICK
Sergeant James "Bucky" Barnes
Steve Rogers' best friend. Stan has signed on for "five or six pictures".
https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=Sergeant+James+%22Bucky%22+Barnes:&biw=1024&bih=499&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIvIHY_IPQxgIVhRmSCh1pTwXN#imgrc=xvmzH3RJhQqFpM%3A
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_The_First_Avenger#Cast
In my own words: Steve Rogers and Bucky are both orphans and kind of like brothers. They kind of grow up together and look after each other. It's a very human, relatable thing... I also wanted to look out for how their relationship changes once Steve Rogers becomes Captain America. There's always a competition and they're always one-upping each other. I paid attention to how Bucky is affected by Steve's change and suddenly Steve is this leader
My own example: He revealed that he didn't know anything about the comic books, but watched a lot of documentaries and films about World War II in preparation for the role, calling Band of Brothers "very helpful". About the role, Stan stated

MENTOR
Colonel Chester Phillips
Phillips recruited Steve Rogers to join Project Rebirth, the secret experiment that created the super-soldier known as Captain America.
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/0/02/Chester_Phillips.png/revision/latest?cb=20130404100257
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_The_First_Avenger#Cast
In my own words: General Chester Phillips is one of the army officers overseeing subject selection forProject: Rebirth.
My own example: He takes a personal interest in Steve Rogers as the best candidate for the first test. Both he andAbraham Erskine refuse to allow General Maxfield Saunders to have Clinton McIntyre receive the first full treatment. When Saunders steals the serum and apparently kills McIntyre, Phillips has the body shipped away and Saunders arrested.

FOIL
FOIL
Lord Voldemort (/ˈvoʊldəmɔr/) (born Tom Marvolo Riddle) is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Voldemort
http://cdn.spectator.org/Lordvoldemort.jpg
In my own words: Voldemort appears at the climax of the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, having again plotted against Harry
My own example: Harry goes through extreme emotional stress, and according to Rowling, it was necessary to prove that Harry is emotionally vulnerable and thus human, in contrast to his nemesis Voldemort, who is emotionally invulnerable and thus inhuman.

COMIC RELIEF
COMIC RELIEF
Olaf is a snowman character from the 2013 animated film Frozen, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaf_(Disney)
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wB5NwXBPUtc/Ux_MQGXsLLI/AAAAAAACe-0/trH0zDet7bI/s1600/olafhappy.png
In my own words: As a snowman Anna and Elsa built together as kids, Olaf represents innocent love and the joy the sisters once had when they were young before being split. He isn't just funny, he's also got a "big role to play representing the innocent love in the scale of fear versus love."
My own example: Olaf couldn't just be thrown in, he had to have a purpose" and that one of his purposes was to be the embodiment of the sisterly relationship that had gone cold. "When Anna and Elsa were very little, and before Elsa's powers accidentally hurt Anna, they played. They'd sneak away and play with her powers. And you see them roll the snowman. He's not magical. He doesn't come to life. But they name him Olaf and he likes warm hugs." "It inspires the look. And so when Elsa is singing “Let It Go” obviously the first thing she goes to is the last moment she was happy. And it was that moment. And so he’s imbued with that. He’s innocent love."

EXTRAS
EXTRAS
Kíli was one of the twelve companions of Thorin and Bilbo on the Quest of Erebor. He and his brother Fíli were the biological sons of Dís, Thorin's sister.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Middle-earth_Dwarves#K.C3.ADli
http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130715160519/lotr/de/images/b/be/K%C3%ADli.jpg
In my own words: He had a blue cloak and a yellow beard. The two brothers were described as being young in Dwarf terms, younger than the rest by some fifty years. They also had the best eyesight and so were often sent scouting or searching.
My own example: The brothers are consistently described as having been cheerful, and the only two to have come out of the barrels at Lake-town "more or less smiling."

CHORUS
CHORUS
Gimli is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, featured in The Lord of the Rings.
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080318220808/lotr/images/4/43/Gimli.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_(Middle-earth)
In my own words: A Dwarf warrior, he is the son of Glóin (a character from Tolkien's earlier novel, The Hobbit).
My own example: Gimli is chosen to represent the race of Dwarves in the Fellowship of the Ring. As such, he is one of the primary characters of the novel. In the course of the adventure, Gimli aids the Ring-bearer, participates in the War of the Ring, and becomes close friends with Legolas, overcoming an ancient enmity of Dwarves and Elves.

4. Types of Character DevelopmentThere are two types of character development.
61. THE FLAT CHARACTER
2. THE ROUND CHARACTER
FLAT CHARACTER
COMIC RELIEF
Gollum is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He was introduced in the 1937 children's fantasy novel The Hobbit, and became an important supporting character in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gollum https://hobbitalk.wikispaces.com/file/view/gollu
m.jpg/33022675/388x292/gollum.jpg
In my own words: The Ring, which Gollum referred to as "my precious" or "precious", extended his life far beyond natural limits.
My own example: Under centuries of the Ring's influence, Gollum had "come to love and despise the Ring, just as he loved and hated himself." Throughout the story, Gollum was torn between his lust for the Ring and his desire to be free of it. Bilbo Baggins found the Ring and took it for his own, and Gollum afterwards pursued it for the rest of his life.

ROUND CHARACTER
ROUND CHARACTER
Frodo Baggins is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, and primary character of The Lord of the Rings.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4e/Elijah_Wood_as_Frodo_Baggins.png
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frodo_Baggins
In my own words: Frodo is a hobbit of the Shire who inherits the One Ring from Bilbo Baggins and undertakes the quest to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom.
My own example: He was very compassionate, pitying Gollum and allowing him to guide him and Sam to Mordor despite Sam's distrust of the creature. This act of kindness later proved to be a factor in the quest's success in destroying the Ring.
The influence of the Ring and the wound by the Morgul-blade seems combined to have given him the ability to see into the spirit world, for instance he sees faraway events in his dreams on several occasions. He also can see the ring of power worn by Galadriel and he seems to be able to sense danger.

5. BRAIN EXERCISE & PRACTICEComplete NameCourse, Section, SubjectDate Completed Teacher’s NameUniversity, Country
I personalize my learning about the types of literary characters by completing
this activity.
1. NEW INPUTS2. CONNECTIONS3. APPLICATIONS
Related Stuff
New concepts learnedI learned that there’s a different kinds of
characters in every movies that I watched in every stories that I’ve read. With the help of this activity I can now distinguish what are their different kinds of roles in the story that they’re going to portray.
NEW INPUTS18
This reminds me of… This reminds me when I read the book
of “The Princess of the orient” I can’t understand who is the main character in the story so I read the book more than three times and it made me go crazy because after reading it for the third time around I can’t still understand so I find the Antagonist. In that I distinguished the main character in the story.
CONNECTIONS19
Usefulness in real situations In the real situation I’m the protagonist
and for me I don’t know who is the antagonist in this story of my life but well I guess the antagonist is the struggles. In order to face this reality I need a mentor and a sidekick. Some people around me will be a extra and of course there will be a romantic angle.
