Exploiting ITCs, Characterisation

Mall World is a game on Facebook which I love, I could spend a looot of time in front of the computer changing my doll's outfit and make up and I wish I had had this game when I was a child! (It's way better than playing with Barbies!) Anyway, one day I came up with an idea, I thought "Wouldn't it be fun to do character description in Literature using another approach?" When we read, we shape characters in our minds according to the information the author provides us and being able to put such idea into image is truly pleasant. Applications such as Mall World are wonderful tools to do this, and a lot can be learnt in the process. Adding a justification of why we characterised characters in this or that way may also be a great exercise.
