Character Portrait

In writing we have done a character portrait on someone in our family that's older than us. I chose my older brother Max. We needed to do four paragraphs on them, the first paragraph had to be on their physical appearance, the second paragraph was their behaviour traits, the third paragraph was on their reputation and the fourth was on their environmental belongings. Each paragraph we had about one writing lesson to practise them so we knew what we were doing. This is mine.

As he strolls down the street his short dirty blonde hair sits messily on his head while his canterbury track pants scrape together each step he takes. His casual, oversized black T-shirt hangs down to his knees, swaying side to side. When people walk past they are instantly envious of his light ocean eyes and his strong smelling lynx body spray. White shining converses glow in the daylight. His head pops out of any crowd, being the tallest in his family. He has a smooth, round face with bushy eyebrows and a sly smile.

Owning a deep voice, people often feel small and weak around him. When he walks , his footsteps thump heavily on the ground which is strange being he has a slim, skinny body. His laugh is a loud, cheerful chuckle. When dinner time comes, he turns out to be very greedy, eating more than double of what most people of his age do. He is also very charismatic and is good at getting people’s attention when he wants to talk. Being courageous, he likes to do things no one else wants to try, but occasionally pulling people into it.

He is clearly known for being a bright and friendly person who is always helping people out if they are struggling. A plastered smile on his face even on the toughest days. When night time comes, he's not the person to make a quite dinner and watch a movie, no, he's more likely to be out partying with his friends in a club or go out to dinner with his family. He is a very outgoing person. Always in a happy mood and has never lost his temper at anyone or anything, but just goes with the flow. He is great at starting conversations and always has something interesting going on in his life, leaving you hooked in on one of his stories from last week.

Carrying around in his pocket will be the latest IPhone he spent his last paycheck on. He usually lives in flats with his mates unless he has done his monthly move to a newer, flasher house. If you try to look for him you will find it very difficult because he could be anywhere due to his adventurous spirit. In his clothes drawer will be dozens of track pants and denim jeans. He owns a black toyota he has had for only a short time from only just getting his licence.
