What the narrator says

Explanation:

The narrator can describe a character through direct characterization. Other characters can do this as well. Ex: "He was easily angered, while she was patient and kind." Indirect characterization would be shown by the actions of that character. Ex: "He took one look at the bill and slammed it down. Giving his girlfriend a furious look, he stormed out of the restaurant. The server returned to the table to clean up the mess that had just been made by the man. 'Oh that is quite alright,' the woman said gently, 'I can clean it up.' After she was finished, she gave the server a 30% tip, apologizing for her boyfriend."
