Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain’s short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is an example of direct characterization?


I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the barroom stove of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's, and I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance. He roused up and gave me good-day. I told him a friend of mine had commissioned me to make some inquiries about a cherished companion of his boyhood named Leonidas W. Smiley — Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley — a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a resident of Angel's Camp. I added, that, if Mr. Wheeler, could tell me anything about this Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him.


Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat me down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph.

Answers

Answer 1
Direct Characterization tells the readers about the personality of the character. So look for personality traits like adjectives that describe this character. You can also look for a direct nod to one of the character's traits, hobbies, etc.


Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence is "and I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance."

Explanation:

Direct characterization happens when an author describes a character through descriptive adjectives or phrases. That means, instead of hinting what the character is like through their actions and behavior, the author describes them in a straightforward manner. That happens in the following sentence extracted from the excerpt we are analyzing here:

[...] and I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance.

What words have a root that means pick,read

Answers

Final answer:

Root 'leg-' means to 'pick' or 'read' and is found in words like 'legend' and 'legal', indicating the action of choosing or the practice of categorization.

Explanation:

The root word that means 'pick' or 'read' is leg-, derived from the Latin legere, which means 'to pick out or choose', but by extension, has come to include 'read' since reading involves picking out words. Words with this root include legend, which historically meant a story to be read, and legible, meaning capable of being read or deciphered.

We also encounter this root in law and academia, such as in the term legal, which pertains to the laws or rules that are 'picked out' or established by society. In the practice of categorizing and organizing literature or knowledge, one might come across the word anthology, a collection of literary works 'picked out' to be included together. Terms like these showcase the versatility of the root and its connection to various domains.

HELP! I’m writing a paper about why pets are good, I need the introduction! Someone?? :)

Answers

Pets can be uselful in many ways! Ane piece of evidence to support this is... (add a moment when a pet have saved a life or a real world use for pets and how they are useful)

The introduction emphasizes the advantages of pet ownership, focusing specifically on how dog owners often have less stress and better sleep, and advocates for pet-friendly policies.

Introduction to the Benefits of Pets

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, the joy of coming home to a wagging tail or a purring companion is unmatched. Studies suggest that dog owners tend to experience less stress and enjoy better sleep compared to non-pet owners. These are just a few facets of the manifold benefits that pets bring into our lives. With a focus on the physical, emotional, and societal advantages of pet ownership, particularly the positive impact of dogs, this paper will argue in favor of embracing pets as part of our daily lives. It is not just about the companionship they offer, but also the various health and social benefits that accompany the presence of a pet in one's home.

In exploring this topic, this paper will elaborate on how dog ownership aids in stress reduction and improves sleep quality (Main Point 1 and Main Point 2). Moreover, the discussion will culminate in a strong advocacy for increased pet-friendly environments and policies (Main Point 3), revealing how the integration of pets into our social fabric can foster a healthier, more connected community.

I would have to say that it would be between letter choice A) and B) but I'd have to say that A) is the most logical explanation. 

Hope I was able to help, ~Kashout kam.

Answer:

The weakness in the sentence is the following one:

A. It attempts to be humorous.

Explanation:

It is a cover letter, and as so it is supposed and expected to have a serious, formal tone, since it has to do with work. Trying to be funny on a cover letter is as inappropriate as bursting out laughing at a funeral service. A cover letter is an introduction to someone's CV, and it is sent with other documents that prove one's qualifications. Therefore, attempting to be humorous on a cover letter sounds naive and childish, and whoever writes a cover letter wants to be taken seriously.
