There are several ways in which writers use direct characterization in a story, but the most common way is that they will take time to describe each character in detail.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia<span> is a country situated in </span>Southwest Asia<span>, the largest country of </span>Arabia<span>, bordering the </span>Persian Gulf<span> and the </span>Red Sea<span>, north of </span>Yemen<span>. Its extensive coastlines on the Persian Gulf and Red Sea provide great leverage on </span>shipping<span> (especially </span>crude oil<span>) through the Persian Gulf and </span>Suez Canal<span>. The kingdom occupies 80% of the </span>Arabian Peninsula<span>. Most of the country's boundaries with the </span>United Arab Emirates<span> (UAE), </span>Oman<span>, and the </span>Republic of Yemen<span> (formerly two separate countries: the </span>Yemen Arab Republic<span> or </span>North Yemen<span>; and the </span>People's Democratic Republic of Yemen<span> or South Yemen) are undefined, so the exact size of the country remains unknown. The Saudi government estimate is at 2,217,949 square kilometres, while other reputable estimates vary between 2,149,690 and 2,24</span><span>0,000 sq. kilometres. Less than 1% of the total area is suitable for cultivation, and in the early 1990s, population distribution varied greatly among the towns of the eastern and western coastal areas, the densely populated interior oases, and the vast, almost empty deserts.

Initially passed down through oral tradition, they were a major means of educating and entertaining prior to the development of printed materials and modern technologies, and they remain instrumental in preserving aspects of the culture in which they develop.</span>
