Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain’s short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is an example of

direct characterization?
(I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the barroom stove of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's, and I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance.) (He roused up and gave me good-day.) I told him a friend of mine had commissioned me to make some inquiries about a cherished companion of his boyhood named Leonidas W. Smiley — Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley — a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a resident of Angel's Camp. (I added, that, if Mr. Wheeler, could tell me anything about this Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him. )

(Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat me down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph.)

In the book all summer in a day, Who is at fault for what happened to Margot?
Andru [333]

Answer:

its on the parragraphs

Explanation:William locks Margot in the closet because the sun is coming out and he does not want her to see it.

The problem between Margot and the other kids is that she is from Earth and they have lived on Venus for all of their lives.  They are jealous of Margot because she has seen the sun, and they do not remember the last time it came out when they were toddlers.  Margot also does not relate well to any of the kids from Venus.

The appearance of the sun brings out the worst in the kids. They are very excited because the sun only comes out once every seven years.Margot has been on Venus for only five years. She remembers the sun, but the children cannot stand the idea.  They have turned to bullying to deal with the situation, because Margot has not assimilated into Venus life. She does not play their games and has not made friends.The children do not really think about what they are doing when they put Margot in the closet.  They make it a “joke” even though it is supremely cruel.  When the sun comes out, the children simply forget about her in all of the excitement.  They seem to have intended to pretend to lock her in there so she would miss the sun, but then they actually did it.This story is a good example of the pointless cruelty of bullying.  If someone is different, then that person becomes a target.  This is even more true with children, who are intolerant of uniqueness and privilege.
