Characterization: Direct: The writer (author) tells us directly what the character is like. EX: He was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent tummy of childhood... You could see that he might make a boxer, as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went... (Golding 10) Indirect : We have to put clues together to figure out what a character is like. We figure it out by what the character does (his/her actions) what he/she says, and by what he/she thinks. Ex: Roger is mean- spirited. He kicks the sand castles of the littluns making them cry. |
