<u>Indirect characterization</u> reveals the personality of a character through thoughts, dialogue, actions, or physical appearance, which subtly develop and add layers to a character.

  • <u>Example:</u> <em>"Anne was holding the pen, </em><em>slowly nailing it on her skin</em><em>, wondering about the pages she had left"</em>. This <u>subtly</u> and indirectly states how Anne reacts every time she does homework with <u>action</u>.

On the other hand, <u>direct characterization</u> refers to the <u>descriptions </u>(usually through adjectives) that directly reveal how a character is, behaves, thinks, or looks.

  • <u>Example:</u> <em>"Anne was always </em><em>angry</em><em> when she did her homework"</em>. This <u>directly</u> states Anne's behavior whenever she did homework with the adjective <em>"angry"</em>.

Direct characterization is when an author clearly states in the text what kind of personality the character has. For example, if the author writes " Cidney was always sad" That would be direct characterization. Indirect characterization would be " Cidney always seemed to be frowing or pouting" which would then lead you to believe she's always sad. Both of those examples pretty much mean the same thing exept one is direct and the other is making you infer.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a position paper?
Ronch [10]
D is a chronological event. The War Memorial was created where, how and maybe why. The maybe why is only about why Washington was chosen.

B again is recounting exactly how the peace was brought about in korea in the 1950s. It's not a positional paper.

A is not a  position although it could be made into one. This question is a bit ambiguous and you are forced to choose between A and C. I would pick C because it is a position. No matter what else is relayed, the thing you must determine is that the Dental Association has a position: prevention.

A cannot be so easily dealt with. The problem is that it has a position, but it looks like it does not have any kind of resolution. It's intent is to show that antibiotics have an effect on the food chain. If it said a "good" effect or a "bad" effect, it would be a shoo in. 

Answer C <<<<< But don't be surprised if it is A nevertheless.
