What is direct and indirect characterization?




What is direct and indirect characterization? 

           Direct characterization is when the author DIRECTLY tells you what is happening. Indirect characterization is when the author has DETAILS to describe the character. An example of direct characterization is 'The boy was bored in class.'  An example of indirect characterization is 'The boy wished he didn't have school and just go home and sleep.' 



Short Story

          One day a boy named Luke had his nose was runny and he had a fever. "Mom can I stay home from school?" He asked. "Well you do look sick so okay." His mom replied. He was so sleepy so he got back in bed and fell asleep.  His mom made him some chicken soup to make him feel better.  Once he woke up his stomach started to growl. He headed to the kitchen and ate the soup his mom made for him. The next day he felt better and went back to 
school.
