8. If Circe is describing Scylla to Odysseus, what type of characterization is used?
A. Indirect Characterization
B. Direct Characterization
C. Static Characterization
D. Dynamic Characterization

B. Direct Characterization

Explanation:

Characterization is the description of the physical attributes, ways of thinking, and actions of a character in a story. Direct characterization is an explicit description of the personality of a character while Indirect characterization is a description of the character through his or her actions in the story.

The description is implied in this case, therefore, the reader reaches his or her conclusion about the character through his actions in the story. The description of Scylla in this text is a direct characterization because it explicitly states that Scylla is a monstrous person.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".
