Setting and Character in Dragonwings

Question 1 • SS26 - ERWC, Semester 2 CR

Which quote from the passage is an example of indirect characterization?

Answer
A
“Only once during all those trips did we have any trouble.”
B
“Some demon boys were out in the street.”
C
“We ignored them until we had passed them by.”
D
“A rock whizzed by my ear.”

Explanation

Indirect characterization reveals what a character is like through actions, words, or thoughts rather than stating a trait directly. “We ignored them until we had passed them by” shows how the characters behaved, so readers can infer something about them from their actions. The other quotes mainly describe an event or the boys, rather than revealing character through behavior.
