Match each excerpt to the type of characterization it uses. Ivan Dmitritch, a middle-class man who
lived with his family on an income of twelve
hundred a year and was very well satisfied
with his lot, sat down on the sofa after
supper and began reading the newspaper.

(from The Lottery Ticket by Anton Chekhov)
Atticus placed his fork beside his knife and
pushed his plate aside. “Mr. Cunningham
is basically a good man,” he said, “he just
has his blind spots along with the rest of us.”

(from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee)
Mr. Bennett coolly observed: "From all that
I can collect by your manner of talking, you
must be two of the silliest girls in the country.
I have suspected it some time, but I am now
convinced." Catherine was disconcerted, and
made no answer; but Lydia, with perfect
indifference, continued to express her
admiration of Captain Carter.

i have no idea buudy for the points tho

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
