Characterization Worksheet.docx - Characterization pt. 1 ... - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a task titled "Characterization pt. 1", which involves analyzing characters in a story based on the information provided in a passage. The task asks you to determine whether each statement about a character is DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION (explicitly stated) or INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION (implied through actions, thoughts, dialogue, etc.).

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the text of the passage and the list of statements from the image so I can help you solve the problem.

However, if you're asking for a general explanation of how to approach this type of task, here’s how you can solve it:

---

🔍 What is Characterization?

- Direct Characterization: The author tells us directly what a character is like.
- Example: *"Sarah was brave and kind."*

- Indirect Characterization: The author shows us the character’s traits through:
- Actions
- Dialogue
- Thoughts
- Reactions of others
- Appearance

---

✔ How to Solve This Task:

For each statement:
1. Read the statement carefully.
2. Ask: Is the trait stated outright (direct), or do we have to infer it from behavior or context (indirect)?
3. Label it as DIRECT or INDIRECT.

---

📌 Example:

Suppose the passage says:
> "Mark walked into the room with his shoulders slumped, eyes downcast, and muttered, 'I don’t care anymore.'"

Now consider these statements:

1. "Mark is sad." → INDIRECT (we infer sadness from his body language and words)
2. "Mark said he didn’t care anymore." → DIRECT (it's quoted directly)
