I think the complete question would be;
Which technique is the author using in this passage to reveal the character’s traits?
passage from the grapes of wrath muley’s face was smooth and unwrinkled, but it wore the hateful look of a bad child. the mouth was held tight and small, the little eyes half scowling, half fretful.
