One character's description of another character's personality
<span>Characterization
is when readers are directly told about the characteristics/personality of a
character I the story. Indirect
characterization is where readers are left to deduce a character’s personality
based upon actions. For instance, if we
read how a character destroys public property for fun, readers could deduce how the
character is antisocial. However,
if readers are blatantly told that a character is antisocial, then this is
an example of direct characterization.
As such, “D” is the best response.

The central theme of the story concerns the way in which an individual understands his present life in relation to the traditions of his people and culture. He tells her mother and Maggie that they do not understand their “heritage” because they plan to put “priceless” heirloom quilts to “everyday use. “
Answer: C) The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."
Explanation: The words "silly" and "stupid" are the only instances of evidence among the options, since they were taken directly from the text that is being discussed. The closest example of bringing the text's content into the discussion is in option C (stating what the author has expressed), but that option doesn't present any conclusion. Option A is presented as a personal opinion with a vague origin ("I feel") and option B tries to back the presented conclusion with an assumption ("the author obviously hates [...] fast food") instead of evidence.
