Answer:

indirect characterization

Explanation:

indirect characterization is when a character is described or characterized indirectly. this means the author describes a character with details; what the character says or does.

it does not simply say "____ is ____ (description like mad, annoying, sad, pretty).

in this example, Gloria "withdraws into a shell where she feels safe and hidden." what is this saying about her? she is shy and insecure. the author does NOT say "Gloria is shy." Or "Gloria is insecure."

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

imitation of

Explanation:

According to the sentences from paragraph 3 of “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain, the narrator talks about how a so-called high class Negro still longs to be like the white man, abandoning his racial identity.

The words that best replace the underlined word "aping to" to retain the same meaning is "imitation of".
