Before Sunrise Character

His eyes light up white bright by the moon.
He has a twirl at the top of his head.
The strange creature is skinny and
moves slowly.
He has black lips and they don't
say much.

Before Sunrise Character

His eyes were drooping down  as he walked really smooth and slow.  He didn't  think he should be there.
His long skinny body moved silently through the dark village.  It is a mystery where he is supposed to be.

Before Sunrise Character

His lonely sad eyes are lit up by the shimmering moon as he searches the dark shadows.  Cotton wool clouds silently dance in the sky behind his almond shaped head, lighting up his top tuft like an antennae.  He doesn't know what he's searching for but, a strong pull forces his feet to move and creases a wrinkle in his brow.

Getting started with character descriptions

We looked at part of the movie 'Before Sunrise' and carefully at the picture of the 'shadow' person.

We listed all the things we could see, or nouns.

Then we looked at all the creative ways to describe them or 'adjectives'.  This was a word-bank we used to help in our 10 minute character description writing.  We had to stick to 5 sentences or less so it was important to choose strong words.

We will publish some of our ideas once we have used our 'Writer's Eyes' to help edit and checked our writing targets.
