CHARACTER CONSTRUCTION IN WRITING


This does not mean that all the characters should be nice or very admirable, Don Corleone in "The Godfather" and Sidney Falco in "The Sweet Smell of Success" are neither admirable nor pleasant but antiheroes; however, you can tell an exciting story about them. A despicable character, but with a slight chance of salvation, can be as easily a protagonist as a fun and admirable character. In the same way, a sympathetic character must have its undesirable side if you want to create tension in the audience about whether he or she will be able to do what they have to do to reach their goal.


Multimedia Production Handbook

It should be noted that our interest in whether the protagonist reaches his goal is proportional to the interest of that character to reach his goal. The more intense is her or his desire, the greater our concern. We do not ask if what the protagonist seeks is moral or immoral, just or unjust, generous or selfish; we ask how strongly the protagonist wants that something and that determines our emotional attitude towards him. A protagonist who does not know what he wants, or knows but does not care much whether he gets it or not, represents a poor dramatic material.

More than a Drink, Coffee is a ritual

Preparing an espresso is a ritual. The barista, like a master of ceremonies, measures the coffee, carefully tamps it and switches on the machine. The hot water dances over the coffee, releasing aromas and flavours that flood the space. In just seconds, 25-30 ml of pure pleasure is deposited in a preheated cup. **A flavour to fall in love with** Espresso is not for everyone. Its intense, strong and sometimes bitter flavour can intimidate some. But for lovers of strong sensations, it is a real delight. A whirlwind of flavours ranging from sweet to bitter, with notes of chocolate, nuts and even spices. **Beyond flavor: A universe of possibilities** Espresso is the basis for countless drinks: from the classic cappuccino to the bold latte macchiato. It can be enjoyed alone, with a little sugar or accompanied by frothed milk. It is perfect for a quick breakfast, a break at the office or an afternoon with friends. **A gift for health** In addition to its delicious fl...

Improve resistance beyond time

Beneath the epidermal layer lies the dermis, the true powerhouse of the skin. It's a dense, connective tissue layer that provides structure and support to the skin. The dermis is composed of a network of collagen and elastin fibers, which give skin its elasticity and prevent sagging. It also houses essential structures like blood vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. - The cellular makeup of the dermis is just as diverse: - Fibroblasts: These workhorse cells are responsible for synthesizing collagen and elastin, the scaffolding that keeps skin firm and youthful. - Adipocytes: Also known as fat cells, adipocytes provide insulation and cushioning, contributing to the fullness and contour of the face. - Mast cells: These immune system cells play a role in wound healing and allergic reactions. - Immune cells: Various immune cells reside in the dermis, constantly patrolling and protecting the body from invading pathogens.
