T ypes of There are two methods of characterization that authors use to develop their characters in a story. Direct 01 02 Indirect Characterization Characterization Characterization
Indirect Characterization For example, the author might show Samantha speaking up in a group setting, taking charge of a project, or expressing her opinions freely. This is when the author shows the reader a character's traits or personality through their actions, thoughts, dialogue, or interactions with others.

Characterization For example, the author might write, "Samantha was a confident and outgoing person."
