Information is expressed in two ways: Direct -> The character’s information is shared by the narrator, another character, or the character themselves. Example -> Johnny was a poor depressed soul but he had the heart of a lion.
10
Indirect -> The character’s information is shared subtly. The reader must deduce the character’s information via the thoughts, actions, and appearance of the character. Example -> Johnny stated defiantly, “ I will not give in to my oppressors!”
