Hi Lizzie,

Answer 2

One way an author uses direct characterization is by telling the reader about the character through what the narrator says.

Step-by-step explanation:

Characterization is a literary device that authors use to develop fictional characters in a story, that is to say, to reveal a character's physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs. This characterization can be direct or indirect.

When writers use direct characterization in a story, they often use a narrator that directly tells readers how the character is, makes straightforward statements about a character's personality or traits, or labels them as something. This is the opposite of indirect characterization, in which we get information about a character through what a character says, thinks or does.
