Answer:

This excerpt is an example of direct characterization because A. the author openly states a character's traits.

Explanation:

After reading the excerpt, we know that the character is a woman who is wise and experienced and who knows what's best for herself and for children. The reason why we have that knowledge is the fact that the author told us these traits directly. We did not have to guess them through the character's own deeds, words, or thoughts - indirect characterization. It was the narrator's own description of her that fed us this information.

Direct characterization is, thus, an explicit characterization. It is the author telling us what the character is like through the narrator or another character.

Read the excerpt from "Flowers for Algernon."
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Charlie is unable to recognize common images

Explanation:

This is what the reader understands about Charlie that he doesn't understand about himself. He cannot recognize common images.

This is evidenced in the first line when he tried looking at the image but all he could see or recognize was the ink, at that point, he thought he needed new glasses.

As Charlie got scared when something was written down as he believed he would fail the test, he tried again but could only tell that he was seeing little points of nice ink around the edges. He still failed to identify the image.
