Some Examples of Characterization
Also on page 24 the author states: The guy looks at me. "He gets a little exited," he says. He smiles and pushes his curly brown hair back from his forehead. Even in the dim light, I can see that his eyes are really deep brown, like Sam's, and when he smiles, the corner's crinkles. The reason this is also characterization is because it introduces Marcus.
Dialogue
"What's the RSP Society?" I ask reading her shirt.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors," she says. "Don't laugh. Some people take it very seriously."
This piece of dialogue is important because through out the book Tally and Penny use this to determine each other. If you throw three papers in a row that means your someone quiet but with lots of confidence.
