In Fallen Angles by Walter Dean Myers, Myers clearly uses direct characterization to show the logic and reasoning behind the actions of each of the main characters, Richie Perry and Grant aka Peewee. When Richie graduates from high school he wanted to work in a drugstore however he didn’t because his family couldn’t afford to pay for him, so instead he enlisted in the army. He went to Massachusetts where he met a women named Judy Duncan, a nurse he ended up liking, on their way to Vietnam. As the plane arrives in Vietnam he meets a guy he trained with, named Peewee. Myers uses direct characterization when he describes the kind of guy Richie’s new friend Peewee as a courageous, no turning back kind of guy and someone who doesn’t let size prove what he can and cannot due. Another way Myers uses direct characterization to describe the emotions felt by Richie, Peewee along with two other guys the two of them have met in Nam. You can make this inference from the conversation between the guys talking about the lack of fighting they are all doing. All of them are upset about there is not a lot of fighting except for Richie. He doesn’t say this aloud he only thinks this because he doesn’t want his new friends thinking he is a sissy. Myers uses direct characterization to give the reader a clear picture of the character and their emotions.
