Drag each description to the correct location on the table.
Identify each description as either direct characterization or indirect characterization.
-Jolene was an obedient child. She was
attentive, helpful, and always followed
her parents’ instructions.
-Shana cried and cried when her
beloved pet dog vanished. Even though
the odds were stacked against her,
she continued searching for him.
-Ray was a reckless teenager. He was
stubborn, impulsive, and often got into
unnecessary fights with others.
-Cory was a stuck-up little boy. He was
proud and bossy, and he constantly
tried to put others down to prop
himself up.
-everyone became happier and more hopeful
in blakes company. He lit up every room he entered.

In indirect characterization, however, the author describes different situations to show us the personality of a character. This is achieved through the character's speech, thoughts, actions, effect on others, and appearance.

For instance, to describe Jolene, the author uses direct characterization, as he/she simply lists her character traits - attentive, helpful, etc. When it comes to Shana, however, the author describes her reaction when her dog disappeared, and it is our task to conclude which character traits she might possess.
