Story Development

Today when I was in Humanities class, we had to act as a character we created in our stories. I chose Yori Yamamoto. When it was my turn to act, had developed a grasp on how he talked. He has an Asian accent, speaks quietly and sometimes stutters. I also have developed how he would move, stand, and sit. He usually sits in a criss-crossed manner on the floor. He will usually be looking down, and is slumped. He takes very little steps, and has a posture than lets him turn around and run. He draws left-handed and writes with his right hand. As for his background info, I realized the reason why he wants friends so much. He is a fresh-off-the-boat Asian, and is having a hard time adjusting.

I now realize that he seems to be under-developed, so I have come up with a few things to make his actions have a deeper meaning. His grandmother was in Korea, a place where the Japanese ruled. There, it will probably spawn most of the anti-war movements in the Japanese, due to the treatment that they had from the Koreans because of the war. He also will have his grandfather’s half eaten boots, which was an example of the bad conditions that Japanese Solders would meet. He makes friends with Mateo, when Mateo gets a glimpse of Yori’s Doodles. The reason why he is shy is because he didn’t interact with children his age when he was in Japan. With all of this, I hope that Yori’s bio is more complete.
