Ch excerpt from chapter 1 of animal farm is an example of direct characterization? “the two cart-horses, boxer and clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs with great care lest there should be some small animal concealed in the straw.” “boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. a white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance.” “clover made a sort of wall round them with her great foreleg, and the ducklings nestled down inside it and promptly fell asleep.” “last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between boxer and clover; there she purred contentedly throughout major's speech without listening to a word of what he was saying.”

“Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance.”

Characterization is the way the author presents the character's traits to the reader. The author can do this either directly or indirectly. Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the character's traits. In the answer, the author specifically tells the reader how tall and strong Boxer is. The reader also learns about the stripe on his nose. Indirect characterization is when the author "shows" the reader the character's traits. For example, if the author had said that Boxer could pull a tractor-trailer truck, we would be shown that he is strong.
