    Having read “A Matter of Balance,” consider what characteristics Harold


    displays and what happens to him. Look at the color symbolism chart (see
    below) and circle any of the characteristics that fit Harold. Think about
    which one characteristic is most important, but also, since characters are
    complex, make sure that you have chosen characteristics from at least three
    different colors.

    Decide which of the characteristics you have identified are most important
    in Harold, and, keeping that in mind, begin to fill in your mandala with the
    colors that symbolize those characteristics. If the predominant
    characteristic of a character is confidence, for example, you may want to
    use more blue in the mandala or use blue mainly at the center of the
    graphic.
