(Verse 1) In a tale out in the wild, There was a hero, oh so mild, With a heart that soared and dreams that shone, But the journey's just begun, With a static soul, he stood so tall, No change at all, no rise, no fall, Through the trials he faced, he stayed the same, In the end, it’s just a game. (Chorus) With a round character, oh so bright, Complex and deep, they put up a fight, In the shadows, they find their way, Through conflict and growth, they seize the day. Oh, round characters, don’t you see? They bring the story's heart to be. (Verse 2) Then there’s the flat one, simple and plain, No twists or turns, just a steady lane, They follow the plot, but they never grow, In a world so vast, their colors don’t show. But dynamic souls, they rise and fall, With every choice, they heed the call, Overcoming flaws, reaching for the stars, Their journey’s marked by battle scars. (Chorus) With a round character, oh so bright, Complex and deep, they put up a fight, In the shadows, they find their way, Through conflict and growth, they seize the day. Oh, round characters, don’t you see? They bring the story's heart to be. (Bridge) From flat to round, they twist and turn, In every chapter, new lessons learned, Static or dynamic, they pave the road, In every story, their truths unfold. (Outro) So remember, dear friend, as you write your tale, Character types are the wind in your sail, With depth and change, let your words take flight, In the world of stories, let your characters shine bright.

In a story town, with characters around, There’s a way to know them, let’s break it down. With their traits and their minds, we’ll understand their kind, It’s called characterization, let’s explore the ground. (Chorus) Characterization, it gives life to the tale, With their thoughts and their actions, we’ll set the sail. Direct or indirect, it paints the perfect view, To make the characters shine in all they do. Direct’s the clear path, with details we see, Like blue eyes shining, or their work at a plea. A lawyer, a reader, passions that they hold, With a simple description, their story unfolds. (Chorus) Characterization, it gives life to the tale, With their thoughts and their actions, we’ll set the sail. Direct or indirect, it paints the perfect view, To make the characters shine in all they do. Indirect’s the subtle, through actions we find, The wisdom in their speech, the thoughts in their mind. Each word that they utter, each choice that they make, Gives us little hints, for the reader’s own sake. (Chorus) Characterization, it gives life to the tale, With their thoughts and their actions, we’ll set the sail. Direct or indirect, it paints the perfect view, To make the characters shine in all they do. So remember dear writers, as you craft your plot, Characters are real, with imperfections caught. They need not be perfect, just interesting and bright, With characterization, you’ll bring them to light. (Chorus) Characterization, it gives life to the tale, With their thoughts and their actions, we’ll set the sail. Direct or indirect, it paints the perfect view, To make the characters shine in all they do.
