Direct and Indirect Characterization in The Land

Question 10 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Which excerpt from The Land, Part 4 is an example of direct characterization of Paul’s father?

Answer
A
My daddy always liked to have his horses near. Beyond the pasturelands where the horses and cattle grazed were the forests.
B
I remember my daddy got real quiet. If I just hadn't added that last bit, maybe he would have taken the time to talk more to me.
C
My daddy decided to take Robert simply because Robert was his son. Everybody knew he would be of no real help with the horses...
D
I'll never forget the look on my daddy right then. There was temper in him and he could have given me a good walloping right there...
