Read the passage. i lazily flipped through the pages of my textbook and yawned. “too bad i can’t be more like my brother,” i thought. he is very studious and a bit of a perfectionist, and he’s always anxious to learn new things. it’s hard to believe that anyone can be that focused. but me? well, that’s a different story. i am much more likely to spend my time daydreaming. which words from the passage are a good example of direct characterization?
