Explanation:

The author uses characterization to develop the passage by highlighting Peter's individuality, which distinguishes him from normal social expectations.

From the excerpt, we can see that the narrator revealed Peter's individuality. He highlighted how usually bespattered his mussy clothes with ink or sometimes with soup which is to the dismay of those of his friends and relatives who knew him. His characteristics actually distinguished him from what was expected in the society. A full grown man soiling his clothes is not something that is socially expected.

Characterization in literature has to do with the description of the distinctive features of someone. Dreiser uses characterization of Peter to develop the passage.
