The answer is: direct characterization.

Direct characterization happens when the narrator explicitly displays a character's personality and attributes. In the excerpt from "Animal Farm," Old Major's traits are specifically described: his nickname as well as his highly regarded judgment and communication skills.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because indirect characterization is the depiction of a character's personality through his or her actions, speech and looks; parody is an imitation with intentional excess, whereas satirical exaggeration is the increase of certain characteristics to make something look ridiculous.

Julli [10]

Answer:

The use of foreshadowing in this text is used to keep the reader aroused and to avoid a possible disappointment. At the beginning, the narrator expresses his/her feelings when going back to Aunt Gertrude's house. It seems that the atmosphere is very nice because it is compared to a fairy tale but then then , the mood changes and the reader gets the impression that something wrong is going to happen. the mentioning of the ´fairy tail´could be associated with the good gesture Gertrude had with the orphans and the change of mood with the secret about to be discovered.

Describe social expectations during the Victorian period and how they are reflected in the literature you have read throughout t
Gre4nikov [31]

The Victorian Era was known as the period where Queen Victoria ruled England. It lasted 68 years, as Queen Victoria assumed the role in 1837 until 1901. It is the longest reign that a British monarch has had.

This period was known for having a hierarchy based social order. As Queen Victoria wanted to regain some of the lost respect the public had towards the Kingdom, society started to benefit those with "noble titles", which were granted by the Queen to a selected number of individuals. This produced a pronounced form of classism an among British society, as middle-class citizens often lost their jobs to people with a certain relation to those who had honorific titles. It was an era of high expectations, as people often were prejudices towards others due to their background.
