Characterization is the representation of people or other beings in literature. When the author states explicitly what the character is like, either through the narrator or another character, this is an example of a direct characterization. Indirect characterization happens when we find out about a character through his behaviour or thoughts.

<u>Answers:</u>

  • Toby’s next move in the game was clever and quick, just like his reputation.

Direct characterization. The author is explicitly telling us that Toby has a reputation as someone who is clever and quick.

  • Because the thunder and lightning came so close together, Julia knew that the storm was close by.

No characterization. There is no information provided about Julia’s character.  

  • Every few minutes Angela glanced at the clock. Her eyes twinkled, and she couldn’t help but smile as she put the finishing touches on the decorations for the surprise party.

Indirect characterization. The author is telling us about Angela’s character (the fact that she is excited about the surprise party) by details about her behaviour (the glancing at the clock and the twinkle in her eye), without explicitly stating it.

Why do people fight wars
Marina CMI [18]
At the moment the world seems to be especially ridden with conflict – it’s an opportune moment to reflect on why human beings seem to be unable to stop fighting wars.

In most cases wars are initiated by governments, not by populations. And, most of the time, they are the result of disputes over resources and land, or of a government’s desire to increase its influence and power. However, looking back over the history of warfare, what is most striking is how willing most people have been to fight in waars, or at least to support them.
