People who don’t know Harry tend to underestimate him. They cast a skeptical eye on his typical outfit: ragged jeans and shirts

that bear evidence of his most recent meal. And his most frequently uttered expression, “Waaaal, I just don’t know,” can make him sound less than bright. So, some enter a negotiating session with Harry relaxed and confident that their side will prevail and that Harry will gain no concessions for his group. That assumption is one that Harry cultivates, and it is a big, big mistake. What kind of technique does an author use to show a character’s traits through that character’s dialogue? A. symbolism and irony B. point of view C. direct characterization D. indirect characterization

Answer:

D. indirect characterization

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device that authors use to develop fictional characters in a story, that is to say, to reveal a character's physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs. This characterization can be either direct or indirect. When it is direct, writers directly tell readers how the character is, in other words, they make direct statements about the character personality, for example: "He was a tough and introvert guy, that's why he didn't talk much."

However, when the characterization is indirect, writers show the character's personality through dialogues, thoughts, behaviors, actions, the description of their appearance and people's reaction to the character. And this is the type of characterization that the text is using: the author does not make a direct statement about Harry, instead, they show how he is and how people sees him by describing his outfit, expressions, and usual behaviors.

<u>What do you think Americans want to read now? </u>

Well, it depends on the individual. Some people are inclined to read things all creature related or supernatural and may be inclined to read things on horror, perhaps they like serial killers and psychopaths and decide that’s what they want. Also, horror is a very entertaining genre to read, they are usually psychological thrillers like IT. Others are purely entertained by fantasy such as science fiction like “Star Trek“ or elves like “Lord of the Rings”. This genre makes you immerse yourself into another planet, another realm, another place that unimaginable. An incredible atmosphere where only you reside. You understand the characters, there is usually drama and a plot that needs to be resolved.

<u>What kind of books would entertain us?</u>

Vanyuwa [196]

b. listen with empathy

The key characteristic for one listening with empathy is to give the speaker your undivided attention.  Because Jeff fell asleep, he obviously had not been providing this.  Further, when one is empathetic, one is able to understand the position/place of someone else.  Obviously, if Jeff were speaking, he would want his audience to pay attention, so he should have recognized this and been conscious of that for Elizabeth.  By Jeff falling asleep, he does not understand the perspective of someone else in order to recognize how to respectfully listen (or listen with empathy).
