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.

Is binge watching a harmless pleasure or a harmful addiction?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

It depends.

Explanation:

Usually, binge watching would not be considered to be harmful.  However, to put such an activity in perspective, you should consider how it affects your daily life.  An addiction to something would cause physical, mental, and/or emotional pain during separation and disturbs normal, daily life.  Is binge watching causing that type of pain and interruption to your daily life?  You have to decide for yourself how far and how seriously you view binge watching, and decide from there.
