AnnaandgodRead the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” Occasionally, though, Mrs. Flowers would drift off the road and down to the Store and Momma would say to me, "Sister, you go on and play." As I left I would hear the beginning of an intimate conversation. Momma persistently using the wrong verb, or none at all. "Brother and Sister Wilcox is sho'ly the meanest—" "Is," Momma? "Is"? Oh, please, not "is," Momma, for two or more. But they talked, and from the side of the building where I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me, I heard the soft-voiced Mrs. Flowers and the textured voice of my grandmother merging and melting. They were interrupted from time to time by giggles that must have come from Mrs. Flowers (Momma never giggled in her life). Marguerite’s thoughts in this passage help the reader to infer that Mrs. Flowers feels she is superior to Momma. is embarrassed by Momma. thinks of Momma as a friend. likes to make fun of Momma.

What technique does Chaucer use to create lively characters? a. Direct characterization b. simple characterization c. indirect characterization d. Complex characterization

Answers

Chaucer uses several different techniques to create lively characters, but the best option from the list would be

"indirect characterization" if you have to choose one.

In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer originally uses indirect techniques of characterization in identifying the various pilgrims in the General Prologue and completely the whole poem. Unlike primary characterization in which the narrator simply tells the reader what sort of personality a role has, secondary characterization allows the reader to form his or her own conception of the character in question
