Great authors make characters with believable personalities. They show personalities through these:
1. Dialogue (Direct Speech)
2. Actions
3. Reactions
4. Physical Descriptions
5. Thoughts
These 5 things are factors that great authors use to make a credible and believable character personality. In the story Wringer by Jerry Spinell, a character named Beans has an obnoxious, loud and rude personality. It is shown when Beans scoops icing off of the birthday boys cake and dramatically licks it off of his own fingers. He also blows out the candles on his cake after the Happy Birthday song. My last observation from inside the text is that instead of asking for something he demands and bellows. The author has mostly used the first two factors really well to make Beans a credible and believable personality.
