Screenwriting book

Today, i read a book , it called "Your Screenplay Sucks", many people recommend me to read this book, the writer is William M. Akers.

William M. Akers is a teacher; he teaches screenwriting at Vanderbilt University. This book is very useful, especially when people don't know how to write the script. There are three chapters in the book; chapter one is conception， chapter two is characters. Chapter three is structure. Today I read chapter two: characters.

William teaches how to design characters. He said to compare with dialogue; the action is easier make the audience understand character‘s characteristic.  when scriptwriter writes character, they need to write more detail about characters, for example, character's culture background，character's job and so on. When scriptwriter writes character's emotion, they need which emotion, why characters have this emotion. Becasue it can help the actor to understand the character.

In the next day, I will continue to read this book.
