How do authors explain details about their characters?
A
pictures
B
dialogue
C
actions
D
feelings
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many writers lean on a clever trick to show emotions-they describe a character’s physical reactions to emotions. So characters are often crying, yelling, and slamming doors. Their stomachs are twisting, their hands are trembling, and their cheeks are burning. We hear exasperated breaths and soft sighs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Feelings are a character’s emotional response to what is happening around them. We know how a character feels when the author tells us. We also know how a character feels by paying attention to what the character is doing, saying, or thinking.

Detailed explanation-3: -Make sure the emotion is appropriate. Show the emotion through the character’s actions: speech (not only what is said, but word choice and tone of voice), facial expressions, hand motions, or body posture. Show the emotion by describing the character’s thoughts or mental state. More items •21-Apr-2013
