Indirect Vs. Direct Characterization
Indirect characterization is when the writer 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. Indirect characterization works its way around a character so you can figure out how the character is on your own.

It wasn’t my fault he dropped it.” “NEXT TIME I CALL FOR THE BALL, PASS IT TO ME! GOT IT!” “Yea, whatever.” The next play Chris calls for it and the quarterback passes it to him, he catches it runs a few yards, they make him fumble and they recovered it. Then everybody started getting on him, “WHY YOU FUMBLE? SEE YOUR NOT EVEN THAT GOOD, TO BE SCREAMING AT US FOR MAKING MISTAKES!” “WITHOUT ME YOU GUYS ARE NOTHING!” he
