Which sentence is an example of direct characterization?

English

anzhelika [568]3 years ago

Answer:

Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny, close-lying curls that made her look wonderfully like a truant schoolboy.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the story <em>The Gift of the Magi</em> written by O. Henry.

Characterization is the process in which an author creates and describes their characters to their readers. There are two main types of characterization:

  • Direct characterization - the author explicitly (directly) describes their character. For example, the author could explicitly tell about the character's appearance, feelings, desires, life philosophy, etc.
  • Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character through their actions, feelings, interaction with other characters, appearance, etc.

The first sentence is an example of direct characterization. Here, the author explicitly describes his character's appearance. The rest of the sentences are examples of indirect characterization because they include descriptions of actions, based on which we need to make additional conclusions about the characters. There is no explicit information about them.

This is why the first option is the correct one.

inysia [295]

Answer:NURSE

See where she comes from shrift with merry look.

NURSE

Look, she’s come home from confession with a happy look on her face.

CAPULET

How now, my headstrong? Where have you been gadding?

CAPULET

So, my headstrong daughter, where have you been?

JULIET

Where I have learned me to repent the sin

15Of disobedient opposition

To you and your behests, and am enjoined

By holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here

To beg your pardon. (falls to her knees)

Pardon, I beseech you!

20Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.

JULIET

I went somewhere where I learned that being disobedient to my father is a sin. Holy Father Lawrence instructed me to fall on my knees and beg your forgiveness. (she kneels down) Forgive me, I beg you. From now on I’ll do whatever you say.

CAPULET

Send for the county. Go tell him of this.

I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.

CAPULET

Send for the Count. Go tell him about this. I’ll make this wedding happen tomorrow morning.

JULIET

I met the youthful lord at Lawrence' cell,

And gave him what becomèd love I might,

25Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.

JULIET

I met the young man at Lawrence’s cell. I treated him with the proper love, as well as I could, while still being modest.

CAPULET

Why, I am glad on ’t. This is well. Stand up.

CAPULET

Well, I’m glad about this. This is good. Stand up.

JULIET stands up

JULIET stands up.

This is as ’t should be.—Let me see the county.

Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither.—

Now, afore God, this reverend holy friar!

30Our whole city is much bound to him.

This is the way it should be. I want to see the count. Yes, alright, go, I say, and bring him here. Now, before God, our whole city owes this friar a great debt.
