How do writers use direct characterization in a story?

English
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
5 0
Writers use direct characterization by revealing a characters personality. The writer has to say the characters personality directly.
Example: "The boy was very shy but very funny."
This sentence tells us the boy is funny but shy.

Direct and indirect characterization can easily get confused. Indirect is basically what we judge the character to be. Like appearance, actions and words.
Example: I see that Shaun isn't very smart because he fails all his exams.

Hopefully this makes sense and I helped. Good luck :)

What is Rosenberg's main criticism of the play?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Rosenberg argued that "Romeo and Juliet—a play about children—is full of terrible, deeply childish ideas about love." Juliet, Rosenberg reminds us, is 13. If you cast someone that age in the role now, the result is queasy. If you cast someone older, you end up with an adult actor behaving like she's a tween.

In "Hofus the Stonecutter", which of the following morals is taught?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Greed leads to destruction.

Explanation:

In the story of "Hofus the Stonecutter" we have a stonecutter who, when he sees more powerful men and forces, wishes to become them and every time his wish came true. First it was the wish to be a rich and powerful merchant, but as soon as he realized that the officer was more powerful that people even bow to him he wished to be the officer, when that bored him and when he saw that sun has more power, he transformed to it. But even then he wasn't satisfied as the black cloud hid him, so of course he continued the change and became the black cloud, but the wind soon made him realize that it is more powerful and he changed to it. His final transformation was to a rock and when he felt that someone is beating him, he wondered who might be more powerful than a rock and he saw a stonecutter - his very own beginning. So, being greedy and blinded by power and money leads to a destruction, if Hofus didn't let himself go so far and if he was satisfied with less, he could have lived peaceful and rich life.
