Characterization is the process in which a writer creates and describes the characters of their story. There are two main types of characterization:
Direct characterization - the writer explicitly tells us about the character's traits.
Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character from their actions, thoughts, appearance, interaction with other characters, etc.
Examples of direct characterization in the given passage are <em>straight black hair, friendly, </em>and <em>funny.</em> The writer explicitly provides us with information about their characters, telling us something about Lin's appearance and personality.<em> Walked to school </em>and <em>shared an orange</em> are actions, which is why they don't play a part in the direct characterization.
