    Name: Date: What’s CHARACTERIZATION all about? ee * When an author uses DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION, he/she clearly states or directly describes a character. For example, “Kat is popular and snobby.” The author ather than shows us what Kat is like. * When an author uses INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION, character traits are revealed through actions, dialogue, appearance, thoughts and feelings, or other characters’ comments, For example, “Jess left the pizza crust on the floor.” The author shows rather than tells us what Jess is like. Direct Characterization Indirect Characterization + Direct comments by the narrator * Actions + Words/Dialogue + Appearance + Thoughts/Feelings * Other Characters’ Comments Directions: Choose a character from “Thank You M’am” to analyze. Identify four character traits that character displays in the story. Provide evidence from the text to support your choices of traits and then classify the type of characterization used for each trait.
