Answer

Brief Explanations:

Direct characterization is when the author directly states a character's traits. Indirect characterization shows a character's traits through actions, thoughts, speech, etc.

  • For "She learned to cross the little winding French river on teetering logs at its most dangerous depths," it shows her action (crossing the river in a dangerous way) which is indirect characterization.
  • For "That little girl, who remembered nothing but fear of her earliest childhood, was happy when she flaunted her courage," the author directly tells us she was happy and flaunted courage - direct characterization.
  • For "Hour after hour, and day after day, she sat by his bedside, his thin hand clasped in her strong one," it shows her action (sitting by the bedside) which is indirect characterization.
