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.

Vika [28.1K]

An object I would be really intereste in researching is a cellphone due to the fact that nowadays, it plays a key role in the life of both an adolescent and an adult, and it also lures children. People tend to be more concerned about what is going on in their cellphones using social medias or texting rather than being present in the real moment with the real people they are dealing with at the moment. Cellphones are very useful since it helps as keeping in touch all the time with our beloved people. However, it can be also a fatal device if not used properly or at the right time, since it can be the culprit of a car accident.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

This is a declarative sentence.

Explanation:

Declarative sentences are those that aim to pass on information, expose something that has happened or is happening. This sentence can also be considered a comparative sentence, as it compares the emotion expected to be felt by the narrator and the emotion that the narrator actually felt in relation to the joke in the classroom.

The sentence also has a dependent clause "what was meant to be" that needs a complement to make sense and get a message across. This complement is the clause that is established immediately afterwards, ending the sentence.

nignag [31]

Answer:

nyksl Ambitious

The right answe is "A. He had a speech impediment, so he was worried he would be perceived as weak and unable to win a war."

Often the image that reaches us of great leaders does not show all the nature and personal characteristics behind the figure of leader. George VI possessed a characteristic that was remarkable during all his personal life and that was the main guide line of the film "The Discourse of the King". It is the stammering that persecuted the monarch from the tender age of 4 and that was reason of many difficulties for the King.

Upon his brother's abdication and the decision to take the throne, George VI was forced to face this problem and deal with it throughout his reign. With much training, persistence and courage, the monarch faced this difficulty, worked on his speeches, kept the morale of the population on the rise and became a symbol of British resilience.
