Showing Off

Read 1 Kings 16-18

1 Kings 18:38 "Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."

A character who shows off can be too much for some stories. If the motivation isn’t clear, it can come off as forced.

Children showing off, single guys and gals showing off for each other are both examples of acceptable showing off situations. The motivations are natural.

A villain might show off his strength, his wealth, or his power. A hero might show off to annoy, to attract attention, or to distract from his real actions.
