The screen door opens and Goodman comes out, a man in his early forties who first greets them smiling and then letting the smile fade as he sees the faces.

Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions. If we look at all of the possible answers for this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine characteristics. One, however, blatantly speaks of how old a person is. With the words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct characterization.

Which poets address it in terms of the times they live in (and its threat of fascism) and which address it in a more personal way?

Answer: First we should know that both of these poet's had a bad experience in their lives, suffering similarly under tyranny and oppression during World War II, which shaped their perspective in very different ways. Milosz is the one that took it very personally and considered his life as emotionally destroyed while Szymborska looked at it as another chance at life that might never be given again. It is clear that the poet that addresses death in terms of the times they live in and as a threat of fascism is Milosz. This is apparent in the poem “City Without A Name”.

I hope this helps, Regards.
