Question Each of the following descriptions from "The Destructors" is an example of direct characterization except (1 point) Responses "When he said 'Trevor' it was a statement of fact..." "When he said 'Trevor' it was a statement of fact..." "Blackie, Mike and a thin yellow boy...called by his surname Summers..." "Blackie, Mike and a thin yellow boy...called by his surname Summers..." "...Old Misery was too mean to spend money on the property." "...Old Misery was too mean to spend money on the property." "T raised his eyes, as grey and disturbed as the drab August day."

Answer 1

The description "T raised his eyes, as grey and disturbed as the drab August day." is an example of direct characterization.

Answer 2

The description "T raised his eyes, as grey and disturbed as the drab August day" from "The Destructors" is an example of direct characterization.

Answer 3

To determine which of the descriptions from "The Destructors" is an example of direct characterization, we need to understand what direct characterization means. Direct characterization is when the author directly tells us about a character's traits or qualities.

In this case, we have four descriptions to consider:

1. "When he said 'Trevor' it was a statement of fact..."
2. "Blackie, Mike and a thin yellow boy...called by his surname Summers..."
3. "...Old Misery was too mean to spend money on the property."
4. "T raised his eyes, as grey and disturbed as the drab August day."

To determine which one is not an example of direct characterization, we need to look for descriptions that do not directly state a character's traits.

The first, second, and third descriptions all directly tell us about the characters' traits. For example, the first description tells us that when someone says "Trevor," it is simply a factual statement.

The fourth description, "T raised his eyes, as grey and disturbed as the drab August day," is an example of indirect characterization. It uses figurative language to describe the character's eyes, comparing them to the drab August day. This type of description allows the reader to infer the character's state of mind, rather than stating it directly.

Therefore, the fourth description is the example of indirect characterization.
