Character Sketcher 2
You are invited to learn more about Molly. Please take notes on how Molly acts and looks.
To begin, think about “descriptive words” that capture Molly’s personality and try to find passages in Chapter 3 that show how Molly is acting. Think about why or how those words describe Molly in the passages. Remember these will be implied traits. Use the traits below to help you.
Choose 3 of the following traits and find passages in Chapter 3 that demonstrate Molly acting:
| brave | confident | clever | assertive |
| witty | imaginative | melancholy | surprised |
On page 22 paragraph 7 Molly acts brave because she probably could have gotten in trouble for warning Peter about the consequences for jumping off the ship. However, she did what she thought was right. She warned Peter just in time.
On page 24 paragraph 8 Molly acts witty when she says, “..it would be a shame to miss a voyage aboard such a lovely ship as the Never Land.” The ship is an absolute mess. Molly was making a joke when she said it was a lovely ship
On page 29 paragraph 5Molly acts surprised when she finds out Peter and his friends are orphans. She knows the terrible fate that awaits them and is taken aback by finding out Peter will have to suffer such a horrific fate.
Then, use the passages that describe Molly’s actions and appearance to help you complete an artistic impression of Molly. Page 19, last paragraph, gives you some information about Molly’s appearance. Are there any other passages you noticed?
