Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain’s short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is an example of

direct characterization?
I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the barroom stove of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's, and I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance. He roused up and gave me good-day. I told him a friend of mine had commissioned me to make some inquiries about a cherished companion of his boyhood named Leonidas W. Smiley — Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley — a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a resident of Angel's Camp. I added, that, if Mr. Wheeler, could tell me anything about this Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him.

Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat me down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

Direct characterization is the manner by which a writer enlightens his or her peruser concerning a character. This literary device happens when the creator explicitly uncovers characteristics about the character in an immediate, clear way. Direct characterization is additionally critical in demonstrating the character's motivation.

Answer:

Astronomers are telling people to be especially watchful this evening, as a rare event could be making a very special appearance. The release of energised particles from the sun, coupled with particularly helpful overnight conditions, is predicted to make the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible much further south than normal. Interviewed earlier today by Chris Ross, Channel Six’s science correspondent, Derwent University’s Professor Andrew Higgins told her that, "It's a once-in-a-decade opportunity that people really shouldn’t miss. Thanks to several fronts of high air pressure, the skies tonight will be particularly clear. Ill is over the moon comes the dawn."
