APPENDIX C - Character Analysis with Suzie as referenced in Activity One

Suzie's Speech: Did you hear about Amanda's fight with her boyfriend? It was really loud and messy.

Suzie's Thoughts: I wonder if I can get Amanda to tell me about that fight. It would be nice if I knew all the details.

The Effect Suzie has on other characters / also includes information about Suzie's Looks:

Here comes Suzie - I bet she knows everything about Amanda and John's fight. I bet it wasn't even that big of a deal, but she's probably turned it into a big deal… Look at her smirking, she's walking over here with that 'I know something you don't know' kind of look — oh hey, Suzie! How's it going?

Suzie's Actions: So I just walked right up to Amanda and asked her what had happened and if she needed someone to talk to. I put my arm around her and told her that if she needed to confide in anyone, that I was there and that I would keep everything in confidence.

What can you tell about Suzie? Provide examples to support your argument.
