Read the excerpt from "Raymond's Run.” . . . and Rosie, who is as fat as I am skinny and has a big mouth where Raymond is concerned and is too stupid to know that there is not a big deal of difference between herself and Raymond and that she can’t afford to throw stones. What method of characterization does this passage use to show the reader what Rosie is like?
Answer
A
Rosie’s thoughts and words
B
Rosie’s dialogue with Raymond
C
Squeaky’s thoughts and words
D
Raymond’s dialogue with Squeaky
Explanation
Squeaky is describing Rosie in this passage, so the reader learns what Rosie is like through Squeaky’s thoughts and words. This is indirect characterization: Squeaky’s judgment that Rosie is “too stupid” reveals Squeaky’s opinion of her, rather than showing Rosie speaking or thinking for herself.
