Read the statements about Iqbal, then use the drop-down menus to identify each as either direct or indirect characterization. “His fingers flew, even though the pattern Hussain had assigned him was one of the most difficult.” “The boy was thin and dark and not very tall; he looked about two years older than me.” “He took the knife that we all used to cut the ends of the knots, raised it above his head, and seemed to look each of us in the eye. Then he calmly turned and cut the carpet from top to bottom, right through the middle.”

Respuesta :

The first and third sentences are formed by indirect characterization, while the second sentence is formed by direct characterization.

What are direct and indirect characterization?

  • They are ways of presenting a character.
  • The indirect characterization does not present the character's characteristics in the narration.
  • Direct characterization shows the character's characteristics in the narration.

Direct characterization shows the character's characteristics to the reader, literally. This means that these characteristics will be dictated, shown to the reader. An example of this can be seen in the second sentence shown above, where the narrator states that the boy was thin, dark, and small.

Indirect characterization presents the character's characteristics in a subjunctive way. These characteristics are not dictated, but the reader can perceive them through the character's actions and attitudes.
