What am I learning?
Understand how characters are developed in a film
How does this work show my learning?
It shows that I have understood how a character has encountered and dealt with a problem, described their reaction and also described what their reaction says about the character.
What am I wondering as a result of this learning?
I am wondering that if one problem which a character has faced and dealt with, with a reaction which gives a conclusive opinion on them as a trait but it is a one-time thing doesn't make sense for such a conclusive idea of the character, for there could be another time the character deals with a similar problem which is handled differently and shows a different trait.

Coraline:
Characters 2-3 strengths showed in the story:
Coraline showed curiosity throughout mostly the whole story where there were multiple cases of Coraline wanting to explore unknown areas like the 'Otherworld', the well by her house and the exploration through the pathway to the 'Otherworld'. Coraline has also shown bravery in her quest of leaving the 'other world' as she had to face evil creatures for the eyes of the ghost children and The Beldam herself, Coraline pushed herself to make a rational decision while there for the 2nd to last time when she had to throw the cat at The Beldam's face as a distraction, it seemed to be the best option at that moment. Lastly, Coraline had shown perseverance when throughout her mission to leave the 'other world' and get rid of The Beldam, she had to fight off creatures and the 'love' of the Beldam which The Beldam was disguised as Coraline's 'Other Mother' but Coraline understood she wasn't her real mum since she had button eyes. When Coraline was collecting the last ghost child's eye and she had thrown her triangle circle cut out at the mouse who had the last eye and missed. she thought it was all over and that she had lost but when she had made it to ground level after leaving 'Other Mr Bobinsky's' house the 'other cat' surprised her with the rat and eye which pushed her to continue her mission.
The Beldam:
Characters 2-3 strengths showed in the story:
The Beldam had also shown perseverance throughout her pursuit to fool Coraline into loving her and then eating her soul, she had given love and delicious foods to please Coraline and kept up the act of being her 'Other Mother' till the end where she failed to capture Coraline once again but was finished off. The Beldam had social intelligence when it came to speaking and luring Coraline into the trap when she planned for, she knew how to speak and try to persuade Coraline. She gave what Coraline wanted and kept her act up the whole time till she showed her real self at the end but failed to get Coraline in her trap and is forever locked in her 'Otherworld'.

Perseverance - Is important to have for when you have hit a roadblock or obstacle while trying to pursue something, it gives you motivation and helps you conquer them and allows success come quicker than you once thought.
Social intelligence - Another trait which is one which is very helpful as it gives you a step up in a lot of situations that require you to speak, knowing what to say and understanding what the energy is coming from a group or individual.
Bravery - Bravery is always something which you should have so when it comes to facing something big you aren't in fear and you can face it upfront.

This piece of work shows my understanding of the traits of which I have linked to two characters.
