Direct Instruction

Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of the character.

Direct Characterization = tells the audience directly (ex: She was tall and had long hair).
Indirect Characterization = shows things that reveal character:
a. Speech - what does character say?
b. Thoughts - what does he think?
c. Effect on Others - how does he treat others?
d. Actions - what does he do?
f. Looks - what does he look like (if a play or movie)?
