Remembering Notebook Exercise-Composite Character
This exercise asked me to take two people I have known and make a list of characteristics about them. Then, I was to combine characteristics from both people to create one composite character.
Person 1:
- mousy
- walks on the toes, like a ballerina
- leads her hips
- gets upset easily
- loyal
- likes to be involved
- has small pink lips
- flips her hair off her face aggressively and with her whole hand, like she’s smacking a bee
- nods with her whole body when she listens
- bites her nails when she’s nervous
- has very poor circulation in her hands, often they are red or white
Person 2:
- has a low wraspy voice
- speaks louder than necessary
- often says inappropriate things to get attention
- likes to go running
- obsesses about what she eats
- wears an extensive amount of makeup
- gets laughs by doing sketches of familiar situations
- Straightens her hair twice a day
- goes to the tanning bed every week
