<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Indirect characterization.</em>

The excerpt "Theoretically — and secretly, of course — I was all for the Burmese and all against their oppressors, the British" from "Shooting an Elephant" has shown that the author has made use of "indirect characterisation".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The style of this characterisation lies in its way of using various means to reveal the personality of a character. It can be unveiled through speech, action, thoughts, looks or feelings. In the above snippet, the character of the speaker is disclosed through the means of speech. Though many details about the person speaking is not obtained but his thoughts regarding the Burmese and the British are well expressed.

The best answer for this question would be:

indirect characterization

indirect characterization means that the author revealed to the readers what the character is and how their personality is developed by showing it through speech, actions and the appearance, in the case of the excerpt it is the speech.

Can someone give me a poem and tell me what the theme is about the poem?
spin [16.1K]
Randall squinted up through the trees, trying to gauge the time, but gave up quickly. He should have paid attention when his father taught the family to read the position of the sun. He should have paid attention, too, before sneaking off this morning on his first solo hike, forgetting the whistle his mother stressed he always bring. He pictured his parents now at their camp beneath the tree with the eagle’s nest, wondering where he was. Randall was wondering the same thing. Lost and out of food, he feared he had but a few hours before darkness closed in, trapping him in the bitter cold with the creatures of the night. He closed his eyes to fight back tears, when he heard it in the distance. Water! His father’s words came flowing into his mind; one tip he actually remembered. “If you’re ever lost, find a river and follow it.” In a flash, he was on his feet, scaling fallen trees, tearing through brush, frantically following the sound. The sky grew darker, but the noise grew louder, and Randall, tired and scared, forged ahead until he found it. He reached the river bank and was mulling his next move when a sudden splash caught his eye. A majestic eagle rose from the water, soaring skyward with a freshly caught fish in its talons. Could it be the same eagle nested above his camp? It glided triumphantly into a high nest a short distance away, eager to greet its family. Randall smiled, equally triumphant, eager to do the same as he followed the eagle’s flight.

Leila says that a thesis statement is like a promise to a reader. Lucas says a thesis statement states the writer's point of vie
Drupady [299]
Lucas because the thesis is what the essay or writing is going to be about. It’s showing the reader what they are going to be reading into that the writer believes is right for the topic
