1.) "Perry was not a gifted liar, or a prolific; however, once he had told a fiction he usually stuck by it." Pg. 112 This is characterization because the reader is learning more about Perry's personality.
2.) "Square, squat, in the earlier forties..." Pg. 114 This is alliteration because the first two words begin with S.
