Decide whether each quotation is an example of direct or indirect characterization. “how horrible it would be . . if she were condemned to be the plain, shy millicent of a few years back.” “betsy johnson, the vivacious blonde secretary of the sorority” “walking beside louise on the way to the drugstore, millicent felt a surge of pride.” “bev was suddenly there in the doorway. ‘wipe that smile off your face,’ she commanded.”

“How horrible it would be . . . if she were condemned to be the plain, shy Millicent of a few years back.”

it is an example of direct characterization. The character is described as plain and shy in a very straight-forward manner. The author TELLS us that.

“Betsy Johnson, the vivacious blonde secretary of the sorority”

it is an example of direct characterization. The character is described as being vivacious and blonde, straight to the point. Again, the author TELLS us that.

“Walking beside Louise on the way to the drugstore, Millicent felt a surge of pride.”

it is an example of indirect characterization. The character's feelings show us that he is proud of something. The author SHOWS US that.

“Bev was suddenly there in the doorway. ‘Wipe that smile off your face,’ she commanded.”

it is an example of indirect characterization. The character's speech shows us that she doesn't like it when people display joy around her. Again, the author SHOWS us that.

The difference between direct and indirect characterization is that the first TELLS us about the character, and the latter SHOWS us the character's traits by means of his/her speech, thoughts, feelings, effect on other characters, actions and appearance.

Explanation:

took the passage, hope this helps! :)

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
