Question

In chapter 11, we finally learn how the book got its title. What is the sign of the beaver? Is that what you expected when you read the title of the book?

Answer 1

Answer:

:D

Explanation:

Literally speaking, the sign of the beaver is a scratched pattern the Beaver clan uses to mark their territory. Symbolically, though, it lets other clans know not to hunt on the land it marks.

Authors help readers understand their characters in two different ways: direct characterization and indirect characterization. When an author uses words and phrases that describe a character, it's called direct characterization.

Some books use this technique more than others. Although direct characterization can be interesting if done well, most authors prefer to present their characters using indirect characterization—that is, by showing the reader what characters are like by how they act, what they think, and what other people say about them.
