What makes this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens an example of direct characterization? The elderly female was a wom

an of wisdom and experience; she knew what was good for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.

Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the traits of a character. In this excerpt, Dickens tells you that the woman is elderly, wise, experienced and knows what is "good for children". If Dickens had used indirect characterization, he would have need to shown her wisdom and experience by including specific examples. The reader would then be lead to develop his own conclusion about the whether or not the woman was wise and experienced.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The best answer for the question: Which would be the best way of describing the structure of Thoreau´s observations in "Civil Disobedience", would be: He moves from a consideration of his surroundings to an evaluation of the state as a whole.

Explanation:

"Civil Disobedience", better known as Resistance to Civil Government is an essay that was written by American Henry David Thoreau and it was published in 1849. It must be remembered that Thoreau became a firm believer in the need for a simpler life, one where the laws of nature themselves, and self-regulation of man, were the two norms to guide a person´s life. To show the world this was true, he isolated himself in a cabin at Warren Pond, on his friend Emerson´s estate, to live a simpler life where only nature, and his own rules as a human, frameworked his life. From this experience Thoreau also began to reflect upon the work of government and its influence on people and although he did not invite to anarchy, because he did not believe in that, he did invite people to stand up against the abuses of governments, to defend their rights, and not fear the retaliations of government, as it was inherent in people to defend their basic rights. This is why the answer is the first option.
