Name ____________________________________________ ___Date _____________Direct and Indirect Characterization The act of creating and describing a character is called characterization. There are twokinds of characterization. Sometimes, information about a character is stated directly. Forexample: "Peter is an intelligent 16-year-old student" is an example of direct characterization.In other instances, the narrator, other characters, or a character's own words and actionsmay reveal information about that character indirectly. In indirect characterization. anauthor tells what a character looks like, does, or says and the way other characters react tohim or her. For example, "Peter seemed old for his age." It is up to the reader to draw conclusionsabout the character based on the indirect characterization. Indirect characterization istricky; while it can develop characters more richly, it can mislead because the reader mustinterpret it. Readers must use other clues in the story to interpret indirect characterization.Both direct and indirect characterization can be used in the same selection.DIRECTIONS: Use the following chart to fill in information about two characters from the selection.Selection title:Author:Character Direct Characterization Tells Readers1.2.Character Indirect Characterization Tells Readers1.2.© Prentice-Hall, Inc. 15
