Indirect characterization is also present because the narrator never mentioned anyone’s personality let alone the boy that bleeds. The author mentioned the boy's skin more than personality features which means his skin was more interesting than himself. The quote I previously mentioned shows what they wanted to do to his skin and they even went to extreme lengths by stalking him around camp. I think the author’s idea is that the boy that bleeds was not very interesting personality wise so that is why they talked about his skin rather than his personality. This shows us how he was less interesting than his very own skin.
