Remember, INDIRECT characterization is where the author tells you details about the character, and you have to use this information to infer the character's personality. DIRECT characterization is the opposite: where the author specifically tells and describes to you a person's character traits.

Let's look at option A: "Jeff was a kind boy who was always willing to help anyone in need." Already, we know this is NOT indirect characterization: it is DIRECT characterization. Why? The sentence calls Jeff "kind," which is a character trait. We don't need to infer that.

What about B? "Mariana was a chatterbox and could talk for hours about any subject." Here's the key word: "chatterbox." This is more direct characterization.

Let's look at C: "Juan pretended to be sick so that she would not have to go to school." Do you see any direct descriptions of Juan's personality? No! From this, we could infer that Juan is willing to break the rules. Perhaps she's having a hard time at school.

Just to check, look at D. "Iamar was jealous of his older brother Omar, who was a skilled soccer player." This one is a little trickier, because this passage has two characters: Iamar and Omar. But what do we know about Omar? He is "skilled" at soccer. Again, we have direct characterization here, so D isn't correct.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
