direct characterization (fiction technique)  The author tells us directly something about the character.  Example: John is really tall.

internal conflict (fiction element)  The character struggles with the question “What kind of person do I want to be?”

external conflict: struggle with nature (fiction element)  Characters battle nature and struggle with the question “Will I survive?”
