It looks like you want to categorize examples of characterization into direct and indirect characterization. Here’s a brief explanation of both to help guide you:
-
Direct characterization occurs when the author explicitly describes the character's traits, personality, or beliefs. For example, "She was a kind and gentle person."
-
Indirect characterization involves revealing a character's personality through their actions, thoughts, dialogue, or other characters’ opinions. For example, "She smiled and helped the old man carry his groceries."
If you provide specific items or examples, I can help you categorize them accordingly!
