My grandmother, Gloriana, was born in Honduras in 1949. In the past 64 years, she has seen and done many exciting and wonderful
things and has shared tales about adventures she’s had, risks she’s taken, and joys she’s experienced. She also shares her wisdom with me, helping me learn from all of her great successes and her biggest mistakes. My grandmother is a senior citizen now, but she hasn’t always been. She was once a child, like me, but now she has lived for over six decades and has so much life experience. We should cherish the seniors in our community by building them a center where they can see friends, share stories, and enjoy their days. What is the central claim of this student’s presentation?

I would say that the principle means of characterization employed by the author is dialogue. Since Romeo and Juliet is a play, everything we know actually comes from the conversations, be it a dialogue, or a monologue.
