In-Class Writing

Desiree is a very interesting character in terms of how she is portrayed to the audience. I think her basic clothing should be very similar to what the other villagers are wearing. But her accessories, the parts that adds to her outfits is what sets her apart. I imagined the villagers wearing simple clothing in darker colors. This represented how they had to made their clothing from whatever cloth they could find. There would lots of patches, and possibly even rips or holes. This shows they are working in these clothes, and that is why they are so worn out. Desiree, on the other hand, would still be wearing dark colors but with other added elements. For example, she may be wearing a colorful headband to tie back her hair or a shawl around her neck. I think that this shows that even though her family may not have a lot, because the other villagers think so highly of her, any extra fabric may be given to her. It sets her and her wishes.
