Which sentence is an example of direct characterization?

English
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it

The correct answer is B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to encourage the audience to continue to think about his ideas

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to a speech known as "the Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel who was a survivor of the Holocaust and an important author in the topic. In the excerpt presented, Wiesel refers to the indifference and the importance of learning from the past.

To explain this, the main technique Wiesel uses is rhetorical questions that are questions not intended to be answered by the audience but that encourages the audience to reflect and think about the ideas. For example, the rhetorical question "Have we really learned from our experiences? " makes the audience think about whether atrocities such as the Holocaust can occur again or the question "Has the human being become less indifferent and more human?" that questions the indifference in human societies.
