Direct and Indirect Characterization
Characterization is an element in almost every work of fiction, whether it is a short story, a novel, or anywhere in between. A writer has two options they can choose whether to do direct or indirect characterizations. With direct characterization is direct statements about a character's personality and tells what the character is like. Indirect characterization is reveals information about a character and his personality through that character's thoughts, words, and actions, along with how other characters respond to that character, including what they think and say about him. There are two methods of characterization.

Bob was a selfish boy and quite a bully. Or Even though Bob had already had one cookie, he stole 5 more from the other boys in his class. The first one tells us bob was selfish and a bully but the second one shows us that bob was a bully and selfish. And in my opinion as a reader the second one is more interesting it makes me wonder what else bob stole.

It says “Eye’s like a car crash, I know I shouldn’t look but I can’t turn away.” It show how his eyes are so attached like if you were witnessing a car crash, he couldn’t turn away. Also, the song says, “Body like whiplash, salt my wounds but I can’t heal the way I feel about you.” This describes how someone’s body was injured from a car crash and how he can’t heal the way that she made him feel. This is my favorite song because a lot of people could relate to this, everyone has met that one person that turns out to just take everything from you but you still love them. This song also says, “And on my deathbed, all I'll see is you, The life may leave my lungs but my heart will stay with you, That little kiss you stole It held my heart and soul And like a ghost in the silence I disappear, Don't try to fight the
