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.

Read the excerpt from Chapter 5 of Wheels of Change.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Many people strongly opposed the increasing rights of women.

Explanation:

The first and second options are incorrect, because the bicycle was not as successful as everyone hoped it would be, and the point of the excerpt is not that England was ahead in its fight for equal opportunities for women. The statement that Elizabeth Cady Staton fought for a woman's right to attend college is true, but the point is that many people strongly opposed the increasing rights of women despite the campaign.

Stella [2.4K]

Then the question follows: Which artist communicated his vision of the night sky by painting the masterpiece Starry Night?

Which is NOT one of the steps you should take when summarizing information from a source?
g100num [7]
The answer is the last choice, or D.

When you summarize, you're supposed to gather the most important points and rewrite them in a shorter and more simplified fashion. The first three choices include mostly everything you should do when writing a summary. Usually when you summarize, it's for a concluding paragraph, so writing an introductory paragraph wouldn't be it.
