Characterizations

My quote is from "Those Who Don't" on page 28. The Direct Characterization is "the big one who looks like a dumb grown man" This characterization gave me a very strong image of what the author was trying to portray. And I immediately new the kind of person she was talking about. I could hear the way the man would talk and even see the way he would walk. The sentence might have been blunt but it really got across what the author was saying.

My other quote is from "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark" on page 56. The Indirect Characterization is: "I've never seen my papa cry". As the reader this made me assume that her papa was a brave and strong man who doesn't cry at just anything. I felt how shocked the author was to see him cry and I new how she felt because I recently saw my dad cry for the first time.
