Direct characterization is when the author tells the reader what the character's personality is like. For example, "Lukas is very quiet and patient."
This is direct characterization because I am telling the reader what Lukas is like.
Entertaining value. Then once you read it again you start to stop and look at the words and what they mean, poetic devices
If they ask you about yourself, just start with what qualities you like about yourself.
TIP: Make eye contact and portray a confident appearance, like don't slouch and mumble, speak clear and sit straight, be on time, be prepared, and know what you're saying.
