Family Fable characterization

In my family fable my main character was my dad. In class today we were showed the six methods of characterizations that we can use to learn about a character in a story. The six are appearance, inner thoughts/feelings, environment, what they say, what people say about them, and actions. In this assignement we were assigned to use the six methods to learn about the main character in our story.
-Appearance: About 6 or 7 year olds.
-Inner thoughts/feelings: He feels that what goes around comes around and that if you do good something good will happen to you.
-Environment: He is within walking distance of the store and his school and he does walk there. This shows that he was very comfortable in his neighborhood and that it was safe.
-What they say: He tells the cashier that he gave him more change than he was owed and he also told his dad what had happened. This shows that he is very honest for giving the money back and also wants his father's approval of stuff he does.
-What people say about them: The cashier thankx him for his honesty and his dad told him that he was very proud of him for doing the right thing. This shows that people like his honesty.
-Actions: He returns the extra change when he could have just kept it and even when he found $5 on the side of the street he asked if it was anyone's. This shows that he is honest no matter what, pennies or cash.
Overall from this story and using the six methods we come to realize that he was a very honest kid.
