What are 2 examples of indirect characterization and direct characterization of Kaffir Boy???

When an author uses indirect characterization, the
character is developed through speech or action. It is the reader's job to figure out
from those actions what the character is like. In chapter 5 of Kaffir Boy, Mark
Mathabane uses indirect characterization in chapter five, when he describes
intentionally breaking one of his father's rules and being whipped for it. The reader is
left to figure out why the boy chooses to break the
rule.

When an author uses direct characterization, he or
she interprets the character's actions for the reader, explaining what the character is
like. Mark Mathabane uses direct characterization at the end of chapter nine, when he
explains how and why he chose not to embrace Christianity.
