Family Story Characterization

In class,we learned that we were going to use our family story, to post on this wiki, on wikipedia, called "A Thousand and One Flat World Project". And to make our stories better, with more detail, we were asked to take one of the characters in our story, and, using the methods of characterization, I would describe them more. So the character chose the general who sent my grandfather to D.C. to train, and work for the O.S.S. to go undercover in China to spy on the Japanese for the U.S. And since I don't really know much about this man

Methods of Characterization ...
Appearance:

• middle aged: 40-60
• medium height, 5.5 or 6 feet
• quite strong
  
• Caucasian male
• greying
• sad, regretful eyes on a face worn with age, unhappiness, and sorrow
  
• almost always in uniform, except for when he goes home
  

Inner Thoughts and Feelings:

• misses his wife and children, who left him
  
• hatting the Japanese for bombing the U.S., causing them to get involve with WWII
• unhappy with his life now that is was all broken, missing his old life, the great military life he had, with so much power, and control that he lost when his life and family fell apart
• keeps on thinking about the day his life fell apart, when his wife ran away from him, taking their kids with her
  

Environment:

• gloomy, freezing, arctic cold of Alaska

What they Say:

• tells my grandfather he is wasting his time in Alaska painting, when he could be a spy for the OSS in China, because he can speak the language, and is Chinese

What Other's Say About Them:

• use to be a strict general, who keeps people in their place, once was a Sargent at a strict Military school, but now he has faded and is very bitter
• takes out his unhappiness on the people around him, making enemies of everyone
• has some great secret about why his wife ran way from him, taking their kids with her, no one knows
