I would say that the sentence which is an example of indirect characterization is the following one:
<span>"Tom's wife was a tall termagant, fierce of temper, loud of tongue, and strong of arm."
</span>The reason why I chose this sentence is because of the word termagant, meaning a violent, overbearing, turbulent, brawling, quarrelsome woman. I hope this helps!!

Discuss whether Shakespeare's adaptation of the historic love story Romeo and Juliet places an emphasis on moral behavior. Use e
coldgirl [10]
An emphasis on moral behavior (and the questioning of it) is at the core of "Romeo and Juliet". The main conflict revolves around it: how ethical it is to fall in love with my family's enemy? During the course of the drama, this moral question transforms into another one: How ethical it is to hate other people in the first place, based only on their surname?

The ethical question gets especially complicated when Juliet thinks about marrying Paris. To her, it seems as if she would betray Romeo, which she would never do; but the paradox is that if she betrayed Romeo, she would undo the betrayal of her family. In spite of that, she doesn't want to give up on her loyalty to Romeo. In Act 4, Scene 1, she says:

JULIET 
O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
From off the battlements of yonder tower,
Or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk
Where serpents are. Chain me with roaring bears;
Or shut me nightly in a charnel house,
O'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones,
With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls.
Or bid me go into a new-made grave
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud
<span>(Things that, to hear them told, have made me </span>
   tremble),
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
<span>To live an unstained wife to my sweet love.</span>

Bond [772]
I believe that “chat” is stressed/accented and “el” is unstressed. Similar to the word “present,” where emphasis/accent is placed on “pres.” Hope this helps!

<h2>I had a dream all of my teeth fell out. </h2>

One by one, they crumble. I tried closing my jaw and the vacancy of my teeth letting me close it gum to gum. My mouth tasted of blo.od and it painted my carpet with a puddle of teeth. I woke up in a panic, feeling my mouth in my sleepy state, accidentally biting my finger. I yelped cradling it with my opposing hand. I manoeuvre my way to the bathroom and wrapped it up with gauze carefully. As I return to bed I pick up my phone and do the only logical thing I could do; I go,ogled it. The bright screen hurts my eyes. The results tell me I'm insecure, that something life-changing has happened, what a bunch of bull. I put my phone down shaking my head, trying to ease myself back to sleep. The next morning I woke up to no alarm... I look around and realize it is bright outside. I look around frantically for my phone that I must've forgotten to plug in. When I find it, to my despair it's dead. "I'm late!" I declare jumping out of bed, falling over as I throw on my clothes. I run down the stairs and to the couch opening my computer to log in. My hair sticks straight up in a crazy mess. "How are you late, you literally work from home?" my roommate asks. "Less questions, can you throw me a bagel?" she sighs getting up from the kitchen table. I log in as fast as I can making sure to turn off my camera as I try frantically to tame my hair. "Catch!" I look up just in time for a bagel to hit my square in the nose. "Thanks," I mutter picking it off my lap. "Sorry, I'm late!" I say, of course, it's the morning we have the meeting on which department deserves a pay raise. "It's fine Jaxon, we were just getting started" I sigh in relief as I mute myself and take a bite of my bagel. A few moments later I hear Ali, my roommate, go "You have some- blo.od." she points to my mouth and I grab a napkin spitting out my breakfast. "Oh my god, I'm gonna pu.ke" she runs to the bathroom as three teeth sit in the palm of my hand. I feel around my mouth with my tongue my other teeth wiggle with the movement. "What the..." my whole mouth aches. I start to panic and I get flashbacks. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" I whisper to myself.

Explanation:

i love creative writing SO MUCH

you can replace Jaxon w your name bc i just used mine IoI

and u gotta remove the dots/commas in the words blo.od, pu.ke, and go,ogled (id,k why they censor them)

hope this helps:)
