A. s.a. p i will mark you which excerpt from the call of the wild is an example of indirect characterization? “dave refused to run quietly on the trail behind the sled, where the going was easy, but continued to flounder alongside in the soft snow, where the going was most difficult, till exhausted.” “they were in a wretched state, worn out and worn down. buck’s one hundred and forty pounds had dwindled to one hundred and fifteen. . there was nothing the matter with them except that they were dead tired.” “charles was a middle-aged, lightish-colored man, with weak and watery eyes and a mustache that twisted fiercely and vigorously up, giving the lie to the limply drooping lip it concealed. hal was a youngster of nineteen or twenty.” “they did not know how to do anything, and as the days went by it became apparent that they could not learn. they were slack in all things, without order or discipline.”

“Dave refused to run quietly on the trail behind the sled, where the going was easy, but continued to flounder alongside in the soft snow, where the going was most difficult, till exhausted.”

Explanation:

Indirect characterization occurs when the author transmits information about the characters through three modes: Dialogues, Action, Thoughts. In this type of characterization, the information is implicit and it is up to the reader to deduce it. It is a more plausible way of presenting information about the characters, as it compels the reader to analyze the character closely.

We have an example of this type of characterization in the phrase “Dave refused to run quietly on the trail behind the sled, where the going was easy, but continued to flounder alongside in the soft snow, where the going was most difficult, till exhausted.” In that sentence, through the analysis of the text we can see that Dave is very tired, exhausted and unmotivated. This is not explicit in the text, but it is information that we have about the character through the context.

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.

the answer is c. the wind
