What makes this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens an example of direct characterization? The elderly female was a wom

an of wisdom and experience; she knew what was good for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.

Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the traits of a character. In this excerpt, Dickens tells you that the woman is elderly, wise, experienced and knows what is "good for children". If Dickens had used indirect characterization, he would have need to shown her wisdom and experience by including specific examples. The reader would then be lead to develop his own conclusion about the whether or not the woman was wise and experienced.

Answer:

Around 8:00 a.m. on December 7, 1941, the United States of America faced an attack on American soil for the first time in its history. Imperial Japan strategically planned and launched a swift attack on the state of Hawaii, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is our first line of defense against any Western attack from an Asian country. At the end of the nearly two-hour ordeal, our air and naval resources were severely crippled, leaving the United States unable to respond immediately. In this study, we will show the time many events leading up to this point, the actual attack, and give the results that will happen afterwards.

Making the world's Great Recession of 1930

The United States didn't finish decoding the final and final message until late morning on the 7th Time Eastern standard. The final message said cutting ties with the United States and preparing to declare war at 1 p.m. EST. A little late (11:30 a.m. EST) and after seeing its contents, General Marshall ordered immediate defensive positions in Hawaii when he realized the time zone difference between the mainland and the islands. Unfortunately, this fell on deaf ears due to complications from the atmosphere jamming radio communications, Washington had to send a commercial telegram that didn't arrive until long after the attack. In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Japanese naval forces under the command of Admiral Nagumo parked a squadron of six aircraft carriers undetected 230 nautical miles off the northern coast of the Hawaiian Islands. The fleet numbered about

23 aircraft with the final destination being Pearl Harbor. At 6 a.m., the first wave of 180 planes was launched into the sleeping bay of Hawaii. At 07:02, an army radar station detected the oncoming plane and reported to his directing officer that a squadron of B17s was coming from the west coast and canceled abandon the sight of the warlike forces. That is the first of many mistakes that will become apparent within an hour. Around 7:15 a.m., the Japanese fleet launched a second wave of planes with the same objective.

*HELP*<br><br> Can someone explain to me what the answer is, and why?

Well, I think it's a bit of a joke. Let us just say that if your going to feel shame, it must be because you are doing something a little indecent. 

The pine never sheds its needles. It is always modest and chaste. The oak on the other hand sheds its leaves. That's as much as I can say. This site is rated family, not pg 13.
