Question
direct vs. indirect
telling v. showing
- directions:
write below if
the sentence is
direct or indirect.
amare rolled
his eyes and
thought
his jokes are
so funny.
Brief Explanations
The sentence uses an action (rolling eyes) paired with internal thought to imply Amare's actual opinion (he doesn't find the jokes funny) instead of directly stating his feelings. This matches the "showing" (indirect) style, as it reveals attitude through behavior rather than explicit telling.
