Character Strengths and Weaknesses

Everyone has personal strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, these character traits are not obvious. Other times, a person may think she possesses a certain strength or weakness, when others would disagree.

Below are characters from the novel Tae's Sonata. Think of at least one strong (positive) and one weak (negative) character trait for each. Explain why you consider each character trait a strength or a weakness.
