Indirect characterization is when the author shows the character's traits through the character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and looksHope it helps If yes follow me and mark me BRAINLIEST!!

B. what the narrator says.Explanation:Direct characterization happens when the narrator literally speaks the information to the readers. Thus, the narrator determines how the character is, offering a restricted view and allowing a more accurate understanding of it. It is a good way of revealing certain and obvious information, which does not require further analysis by the reader. Direct characterization is perceived through what the narrator says.... Show More

One way an author uses direct characterization is by telling the reader about the character through what the narrator says.Explanation:Characterization is a literary device that authors use to develop fictional characters in a story, that is to say, to reveal a character's physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs. This characterization can be direct or indirect. When writers use direct characterization in a story, they often use a narrator that directly tells readers how the character is, makes straightforward statements about a character's personality or traits, or labels them as something. This is the opposite of indirect characterization, in which we get information about a character through what a character says, thinks or does.... Show More

What the narrator saysExplanation:The narrator can describe a character through direct characterization. Other characters can do this as well. Ex: "He was easily angered, while she was patient and kind." Indirect characterization would be shown by the actions of that character. Ex: "He took one look at the bill and slammed it down. Giving his girlfriend a furious look, he stormed out of the restaurant. The server returned to the table to clean up the mess that had just been made by the man. 'Oh that is quite alright,' the woman said gently, 'I can clean it up.' After she was finished, she gave the server a 30% tip, apologizing for her boyfriend." I know that was long lol, but I hope it makes sense!... Show More
