Science Fiction Literature: Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun

Question 7 • TX-English IV B

Which quotation from Klara and the Sun is an example of direct characterization?

Answer
A
Then a moment later, the child said, 'Oh, but Mom, come on.'
B
'Klara, you're quite remarkable,' Manager said, keeping her voice soft so as not to disturb Rosa and the others.
C
She lowered her eyes and was quiet, so I waited.
D
At one point the mother called, but the girl ignored her and went on staring up at Rex's face.

Explanation

Direct characterization tells the reader what a character is like through an explicit description. In choice B, Manager directly calls Klara “quite remarkable,” stating a quality about her. The other choices mainly show characters’ words or actions, which let readers infer traits instead.
