Does anyone know what a character sketch is?

Answer 1

a brief description of someone to give the reader a clear impression. Pick up on anything that stands out or is quirky or apparently contradictory. For Example: He was all motion: fidgeting, biting his nails, a troubled young man, you might think, despite his "peace for ALL" T-shirt and neatly ironed jeans. Thin and red-headed, he gave me the impression of simply not wanting to be there.

Now you try it.

Answer 2

A CHARACTER SKETCH IS A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF A CHARACTER IN A STORY. IN WRITING A CHARACTER SKETCH, YOU ARE TO OBSERVE A CHARACTER IN A NOVEL TO GET THE FEEL OF WHAT THIS CHARACTER IS REALLY LIKE, AND THEN RELAY THAT INFORMATION TO ANOTHER READER IN A CLEAR, CONCISE MANNER.
