Characterization is a literary device in which the characters and their motives are described in detail in the story. In the excerpt from "Things Fall Apart," the author Chinua Achebe uses characterization to develop the themes of kinship and religion. First, Nwoye leaves his father happily and will later go back with his mother and sisters, who he will convert to Chistianity.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
