In stories there is a lot of examples of characterization. I am going to give you some examples from the some of the stories that we read. The first example is when Lady Guinevere touched Sir Lancelot and chills went up his back and he

Indirect Characterization is when the author describes the character's personality by the characters speech, actions, appearance, etc. Gary Soto does that alot. In the short story ¨Broken Chain” he describes Alfonso as he was very kind. He wanted to take a girl bike riding but while he was making his bike look good , his chain snapped in two. Then his brother gave him his bike after he got done catching frogs. Alfonso ask the girl if she wanted to ride on his handlebars.

There are two different ways an author can do this, either directly or indirectly. Direct characterization is when the author tells the readers directly what a character is like. This helps because the readers don’t have to make inferences about the characters like they have to if the author uses indirect characterization. That is when the author tells the readers what a character is like through what their relationships with others are like, what they say to others, what things they

Indirect and direct characterization are both two techniques in literature that can describe a character in a novel. Indirect characterization is when the author of a novel does not directly describe a character, but leaves clues through their body language or what they speak to inform us what kind of character they are. Direct characterization is when the writer is direct, and right to the point about how a character acts, and looks like. An example of indirect characterization in the novel, Of Mice and Men is when Lennie speaks. The author, John Steinbeck does not establish that Lennie is slow, however, from his speech, the readers can most likely infer that he is. “Give ‘um to me George. I’ll take ‘um back. I didn’t mean no harm, George.

Indirect characterization is a literary device in which the author reveals information about the character indirectly through his/her thoughts, words, actions, and/or relationships with others. In The Secret Life of Bees,Sue Monk Kidd uses indirect characterization to reveal information about Lily Owens. Through Lily’s actions, thoughts, and words, the reader sees that she is a loyal friend, a young girl with independent thoughts, and a clever and intelligent person.

A character with direct characterization is Lennie. Direct characterization is the author tells us directly and we as a reader don’t have to make inferences. The author tells us directly Lennie's features and the way he acts. Lennie is a direct character because John Steinbeck, the author, tells us directly in chapter one Lennie's physical features. On page 2 the author says “a huge man shapeless of face with large pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders."

Characterization is the information given in literature about its characters. It’s the time when the writer starts introducing the literature’s characters. Through any type of literature the writer introduces the characters' physical attributes and personality. For example how the characters act, think, and speak. If a child likes the characters physical attributes and personality explained in the literature, they tend to follow their actions, thoughts, and speech in their daily lives. Therefore, children can learn from, for example, a book's characters they might read. Children can be motivated by characters in a story, film, movie, or a play, which is a great advantage to take, and have children read the books that have some of the greatest lessons taught through them. As Norton stated that there was, “one child who enjoyed Wilder’s books described Laura this way, ‘I would like Laura for my best friend. She would be fun to play with but she would be also understand when I was hurt or angry. I could tell Laura my secrets without being afraid she would laugh at me or tell them to someone else'

Characterization is how the characters in the text are viewed and developed as the text expands. For this, I will consider the character, Nyla (purple). Nyla is an innocent girl with dull eyes and voice. Her innocence is revealed as tells of her first time sex encounter and also in her lack of understanding of her mum and sister’s relationship. Her confession of sex to an older man is like that of a young misled child. She is ignorant of the world and its dangers. She just completed high school and is very excited, happy to lose her virginity to childhood sweetheart. Reality drowns on her when she finds out she is pregnant and needed to abort. Her innocence gives her away when she tries to

Indirect Characterization: The process by which the personality of a fictitious character is revealed through a character's speech, actions, appearance, etc. (Dictionary.com).

(2.10) Indirect characterization occurs when the reader discovers facts about the protagonist through actions or dialogue. Tom is considered a static character because he does not change throughout the story. Huck is considered to be a dynamic character because he changes throughout the story. Characters may also be flat or round. A flat character is one dimensional and hard for the reader to sympathize with.

Characters in literature are created by the writer’s pen and the reader’s imagination. Characterisation in film depends on the script, the casting, the actor’s interpretation, the director’s interpretation, costume and makeup, the use of light, sound, music and camera angle. Any one of these things can affect our response to the character.

Using indirect characterization is one of the many ways that the author expresses the theme to the reader. One of the

Characterization is the act of describing distinctive characteristics or essential features (Tinkler). Characterization is portrayed by Dee and her mother in many ways. When Dee was smaller she

First, the author uses characterization to exhibit the personality of each character. “She had a good chance to do so, for the said Gilbert Blythe was absorbed in stealthily pinning the long yellow braid of Ruby Gillis, who sat in front of him, to the back of her seat” (110). This is characterization because it shows Gilbert loves to trick others, even if it hurts them. This is important because this was one of Anne’s first impressions of him and she did not like that he acted this way. “‘ I can’t go through the Haunted Wood, Marilla,’ cried Anne desperately” (103). This is characterization because it shows that Anne has a large imagination and she

Characterization: the process by which a writer reveals the personality of a fictitious character through the character’s speech actions, appearance, etc. Several authors and poets use characterization in their poems, novels, movies, and plays, and all great works have characterization in one form of another. Miguel de Cervantes does not fall short of this standard in his great and first novel Don Quixote. Not only does he give great characterization of the knight errant, Don Quixote, but also of his squire, Sancho Panza. Throughout the story, Cervantes demonstrates Sancho Panza’s personality not only through his vocabulary and actions, but also through the way other people treat him. Cervantes slowly shows different sides of Sancho Panza and develops this
