Is this an example of indirect or direct characterization? Justify your answer. "That night, she slept with the letter under her cheek."

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
