Which of these is not a way n which the novels portray character? by direct exposition by the way the character acts by setting and theme by the response of other characters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright countrygirl, which options do you think you can cross out right away and why? :)

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

im not really sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, that's fine.

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

i think u can cross out setting and theme cuz that really has nothing to do with character

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think we can also cross out D because the question is asking how the novel portrays the character.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B do you know wht direct exposition is?

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

not exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's ok. let me get you a definition so you can choose off pure knowledge. C:

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information about events, settings, characters etc. to the audience or readers. The word comes from the Latin language and its literal meaning is “a showing forth.” Exposition is crucial to any story, for without it nothing makes sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so based off that (ignore all the signs), what do you think your answer is? :)

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

im gonna say by setting and theme

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we already crossed out C, hun.

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

well its saying which is not a way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to help you better, i will give you the answer since i practically already gave it. your answer is by 'direct exposition'. "Exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information about events, settings, characters etc. to the audience or readers. "

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this would be your answer. the novel is using exposition to portray the character in the way they want

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

i totally missed that thanks
