    Being able to think deeply about character traits of the characters in a material presented is an important part of

    understanding the author's deeper message. We have to understand the definition of inferencing character traits and
    the feeling of the characters. Inferencing can be defined as the process of drawing of a conclusion based on the
    available evidence plus previous knowledge and experience.

    To identify the feelings of the characters or to infer the character traits, we have to look on the three kinds of evidence:
    what the character says, what the character does, and what other characters say about them. With this, we can
    deduce the characterization presented by the character and its feeling shown in the any materials.

    In order to solidify our understanding in inferencing the character traits, let us get to know the steps on how to make
    inferencing. First step is to identify the main idea or the key points. Second, notice some details presented – these are
    details in which it stands-out or unusual. Third, look for unfamiliar words. Then, add some useful facts that are
    presented in the selection or the material. Lastly, consider the author’s purpose in the portrayal of the character.

    These steps will help you to understand better any material presented. And you can easily identify and distinguish the
    feelings of the characters.

    In order for us to understand the materials presented, our Opinion, Belief and Conviction will drive us to conclude the
    characteristics of the character and the materials in general.

    An Opinion is a judgment formed about something based on fact or knowledge. It is brief, formed regularly, and evolve
    quickly as data emerges. While, Belief is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. It has more
    staying power but can shift as data and life experiences occur. On the other hand, Conviction is a firmly held and stable,
    long-term belief. These are powerful life-long truths that we should be prepared to defend.

    In short, A belief is something that an individual considers as the truth. While, conviction can be defined as a firm belief.
    And, an opinion is an honest attempt to draw a reasonable conclusion from factual evidence.

    When we are asked about our opinion, our opening statements will be “I think” or “In my opinion”. While when we are
    asked about our beliefs, our opening statement will be “I believe that”. Lastly, when we are asked about our conviction,
    our opening statement will be “I am convicted that”.
