Mediums Of Characterization

Worksheet Description

In this “Call of The Wild” worksheet, students will explore the portrayal of the character Buck in both the book and its cinematic adaptation. They will critically compare and contrast their mental image of Buck while reading the book with how he is depicted on screen.

Students will analyze how the author and filmmaker employ their respective mediums, such as words and literal/figurative language in the book and costume, lighting, sound, camera focus, and angles in the film, to bring the character of Buck to life. This worksheet encourages critical thinking, visual literacy, and a deeper understanding of character portrayal in different storytelling forms.
