How would you go about writing an ABC poem about Asher Lev?Please include possible an example of your poem

To create an ABC poem, one must look at the
characteristics with most define the person the poem details. In regard to Asher Lev,
from the novel My Name is Asher Lev, one would look at what defines
him as a character the most.


When creating a list of
characteristics to use to define his character, one should be sure to use both direct
characterizations (direct information that the author provides about the character) and
indirect characterizations (information that the author uses in which the reader must
assume or infer about the character).


An example of direct
characterization is "I am an observant Jew." Here, Potok is directly telling the reader
about Asher.


An example of indirect characterization is "It
is absurd to apologize for a mystery." Here the reader must infer what Asher is saying
about his character.


An example of an ABC poem about Asher
would begin in the following way:


Alienated
painter


Strong words:
"Self-Hater"


Honest
confessor


Simply try to find things that specifically speak
to who Asher really is. Without doing so, you alienate him and his
character.
