Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers
of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers
conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions. If we look at all of the possible answers for
this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine
characteristics. One, however, blatantly
speaks of how old a person is. With the
words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about
the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct
characterization.
Is this from a book? What book?
Answer: I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but I'm maybe thinking you want know who is speaking in this story and that is ''First person Narrator''. That means that the Narrator in the story is point of view from a person telling their story or a story they made up, and not only that, it could also mean that the story is narrated by one character at a time. It's possible this character might be talking him/herself or sharing an event that they've experienced.
That's all I could help you with. Hope this is what your looking for. Have a fantastic day my friend! :)
