Hi There

I think I maybe able to help with your question.

My answer to your question would be:

Direct characterization: The author tells the audience what personality the character has. Indirect characterization: The audience is left to infer the personality of the character through actions and dialogue. Ex: When it was the man's turn to speak in the meeting, he turned red and began to scramble his words.

Please could you possibly mark this answer after.

Cheers, Jake

Which is NOT true of anecdotal stories?

Softa [21]

Anecdotes are stories from the past, a part of someone's personal experience which is why they have to be factual if they are to be truthful. They can usually be checked, so i would say the correct answer is D. They are the main source of information in cryptozoology, since the main source is actually folklore, not anecdotes.

When Cassie starts to tell Uncle Hammer about Mr. Simms, Big Ma tries to distract both of them so that Uncle Hammer doesn’t hear

solong [7]

The effect this scene has on readers’ knowledge of Big Ma as a character is <u>It makes her character seem rounder.</u>

According to the given excerpt, the narrator talks about Cassie and his conversation with <em>Uncle Hammer</em> about Mr Simms.

Big Ma intervenes in their discussion so that Uncle Hammer does not hear this story and this makes her character seem rounder.

Big Ma is a grandma to the children, mother, wife, mother in law and widow, which gives her a round character as her role changes as tiime goes on.

A round character is a person that her role changes as the story progresses, while a flat character is one whose character does not change during the course of the story.

Therefor, the correct answer is option A.
