Indirect characterization is what the author shows us about a character. Indirect characterization can be presented through a character's speech, their thoughts, the effect on others towards the character, and a character's behaviour/actions.]]> 2016-11-30 14:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/140824164 andrew_m_hitchcox https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/140841743 Example:

Quote 1:
"The first man stopped short in the clearing, and the follower nearly ran over him." (2-3)
-This quote describes Lennie and George entering the opening setting by the river
-By using the word "follower", Steinbeck uses indirect characterization for Lennie. "Follower" implies that he is not in control of the situation and that, rather, Lennie looks to George for leadership and guidance.  This is very true of their relationship.
-"nearly ran over him" is also indirect characterization. It characterizes Lennie as being rather uncoordinated and unaware. This becomes central to understanding Lennie as a character throughout the text.]]> 2016-11-30 15:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/140841743 pages 6-7 daniel_caliskan https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/140874352 "Good Boy" is a term that George always says after Lennie remembers something, or impresses George. This is indirect characterization because he's implying that Lennie is acts or is treated like a dog.
"An' you ain't gonna do no bad things like you done in Weed, neither." I think this is indirect and direct because although George is saying that Lennie did something bad, we don't know what exactly he did.
"That ranch we're going to is right down there about a quarter mile...Now, look-I'll give him the work tickets, but you ain't gonna say a word. You jus' stand there and don't say nothing. If he finds out what a crazy bastard you are, we won't get no job, but if he sees ya work before he hears ya talk, we're set. Ya got that?" "Sure, George. Sure I got it" This shows that their relationship is very dependent on George and his quick wittedness. And Lennie just kind of goes along with whatever George says.

The rims of his eyes where red with sun glare - clearly stating his features.

" I forgot I tried not to forget. Honest to God I did, George." - Symbolizes that Georges mentality is not very strong. 

"Lennie's face broke out into a delighted smile"- When he remembers something he forgot it allows us to understand that he gets excited over the really small things

I never get no peace" This shows that George is getting annoyed of lennie and he obnoxious. Indirect Characterization was when George  doesn't have a lot of patients with Lennie because he complains how better his life would be with out him, because he always screw things up.

Lennie spoke craftily ,to convince geoerge that he is innocent and to take advantage of him (George)

indirect characterization 
after George's rant, he realizes that he shouldn't get mad at Lennie because he doesn't know any better. This shows a softer side to George's personality, and proves that he can feel guilt. "you gonna get that wood?" George demanded, this is an example of George's dominance over Lennie. Indirect characterization.

On page 10, Lennie says "I'd pet'ed, and pretty soon they bit my fingers and I pinched their heads a little and then they was dead" That shows us how Lennie was completely unaware of how strong he was. And he was like a little kid who liked to pet soft things, with out taking his strength into consideration.

George has a big temper and explodes with "Jesus Christ." George says Jesus Christ multiple times throughout the chapter. This is a direct characterization as it is him talking.
"God, you're a lot of trouble...I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn't have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl." When George says this, it is indirect characterization it shows that George complains a lot about having to care for Lennie.]]> 2016-11-30 16:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/140877643 Chapter 2 and 3 - The Farm andrew_m_hitchcox https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/141350775 Your group will be given a character described throughout chapter 2 & 3.

This quote demonstrates the relationship between George and Lennie and how they rely on each other. 

Indirect Characterization: "Good boy!". George is treating Lennie like a dog by saying "good boy" to reward him when something is done right or he remembers something. 

Indirect Characterization: "I can remember". This indirectly states that Lennie has a bad memory because he also needs to repeat things to himself to remember. 

*Indirect Characterization: "But you ain't gonna get in no trouble, because if you do I won't let you tend the rabbits." Is is indirectly said that Lennie has gotten into trouble in the past, so he needs to be disciplined to not get in trouble.

Indirect Characterization: "Let's have different color rabbits George." This indirectly signifies how Lennie can sometimes act childish want things that a regular adult would not normally want. It is also directly said at the start of chapter 1 that Lennie can be hard to manage. ]]> 2016-12-02 14:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/141383726 Page 8-9 garrett_bowley https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/141385269 george lay where he was whistled softly to himself.

This is an indirect characterization, explaining that Curley's Wife attracts all men around her, and just plain flirting with them. This causes Curley to "have ants in his pants", and taking out his anger on the big guys, such as Lennie. ]]> 2016-12-06 20:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/142156536 Slim (Kiano, Mariana and Katherine) kiano_heath https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/142156605 1)Adjectives:

p.54- "Nobody don't know what Slim can do." This quote shows that there still is a hidden side to Slim that nobody knows about. Everyone thinks that he is a calm person who won't resolve a conflict with violence but this quote puts that belief in question.]]> 2016-12-06 20:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/142156605 PHOENIX/MATT THE GREAT: SLIM matthew_hopkins https://padlet.com/andrew_m_hitchcox/cadfk0nrmznj/wish/142156808 PAGES; 33, 34, 39, 54, 64

"Curly slashed at Lennie with his left, and then smashed down his nose. Lennie gave a cry of terror. Blood welled from his nose." This is indirect characterization.

"Tart" is one of the many terms that are used to refer to Curley, and the way she attracts attention. The definition of tart is used to refer to women that dress teasingly, or revealingly, hoping to attract the attention of men. In this book I believe she is a "tart" because she is lonely throughout the day.
