Narratives are characters in action. In this activity, we explore the slippery concept of interpersonal action. We show how interpersonal actions are more abstract than other types of action, summarising the interactions between people. We use snippets from Jennifer McKissack's Sanctuary and Jason Reynolds' Miles Morales: Spider-Man as models.
