The craft of writing Clothes and fashionsA person’s clothes can quite often reveal much about their character and lifestyle. Here is a description of Miss Havisham, a very rich lady who is living in seclusion after she was jilted on her wedding day many years before.

The strangest lady I have ever seenShe was dressed in rich materials—satins, and lace, and silks—all of white. And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay sparkling on the table.I saw that everything within my view which ought to be white, had been white long ago, and had lost its lustre and was faded and yellow. I saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered like the dress and like the flowers, and had no brightness left but the brightness of her sunken eyes.

from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Write 150 words on one of the following topics.• My favourite clothes

• Clothes I dislike • Shopping for clothes

• Popular fashions• Describe the clothes of a character in a novel or a play

IN September, just after my twelfth birthday, Frank wanted a boar pig for his six breeding sows. He had bought the sows and they all had little ones which were now being weaned. Some had already been weaned and were getting into the porker stage. Frank borrowed a large black boar from his brother-in-law. This boar was very savage and every time I went to feed the pigs he tried to attack me. I had to be very careful; he had large tusks and he used to froth at the mouth. I had to jump from pig pen to pig pen to dodge him when feeding them. I was scared stiff of this boar and he seemed to know it. As soon as I went near the pig pen he would have his eye on me.One morning early in October, when the weather was getting much warmer, I was passing the pig pen to get the horses in. The boar seemed worse than ever. He never usually bothered me when I was just passing, but for some reason this morning he left the sows and ran down to the fence near where I was walking. He was frothing at the mouth and making a kind of roaring sound.At first it didn’t worry me, but then he tried twice to get through the fence. The pig fence joined the race where I had to bring the horses, and if the pig did get through my chances against him were nil. I reached the corner of the piggery; beyond that point there were bushes and trees. The boar followed the fence along to the corner. I felt gamer now—I had the trees and scrub to run to if he got out.Being a boy, I couldn’t resist heaving a rock at the boar. When I did this he made one terrific charge at the fence and came straight through

and after me. I ran for a large tree leaning at about a forty-five degree angle. It was a she-oak tree with a lot of small limbs attached to its trunk and, with the boar right on my heels, I bounded up it. I had never known my luck. I was just in time—another two yards and he would have had me.

The boar tried to climb the tree but without success. So there I was, up in this tree. It was the nicest tree I had known, and I was pretty safe as long as I could stay where I was. But what about the horses? The sun had begun to rise. The boar at first sat on his haunches looking up at me. Then he rooted a furrow under the tree big enough for his body and laid down.I was trying to think of a way out of this pickle that I was in. The sun was getting well up into the sky, and guessing by the way my bottom and

Language

AdjectivesAn adjective adds colour, shape, size, strength, feeling or some other quality to a noun. Good

writers use adjectives to make their subjects more interesting to the reader. Look at how

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has used adjectives to create a sense of horror in his description of

the mummy. (The adjectives are in bold letters.)

a dark, crouching figure a scraggy neck a swift, dry patter a hoarse gurgling

Using adjectives to create a memorable character

Here are two brief descriptions of characters from famous novels. Both writers use adjectives to

bring the characters to life. Read the descriptions and write down all the adjectives.

JuliaSHE was a bold-looking girl with thick, dark hair,

a freckled face, and swift athletic movements. A narrow scarlet sash was wound several times

around her waist.

from Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

athletic narrow scarlet several 9 marks

Huck’s fatherHIS hair was long and tangled and greasy, and

hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. It was all black,

no grey; so was his long, mixed-up whiskers.

from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

long tangled greasy black

WritingGenres—creatures and characters

‘Genre’ is a French word, meaning ‘kind’ or ‘type’. Any group of writing that clearly shows common

characteristics forms a genre. Every genre has its own special characters and features. Fantasy is a

world of dragons, ogres, giants, heroes, heroines, witches, wizards and goblins. The genre of crime

has super sleuths, corpses, murder weapons, clues, alibis and mystery.

As you read through the following descriptions, you will notice how both writers provide

detail upon detail to create interesting and unusual characters. The character of Jabba the Hutt is

from the genre of science fiction, while the character of Dracula is from the horror genre.

Jabba the HuttHIS HEAD was three times human size, perhaps four. His eyes were

yellow, reptilian—his skin was like a snake’s, as well, except covered

with a fine layer of grease. He had no neck, but only a series of chins

that expanded finally into a great bloated body, engorged to bursting

with stolen morsels. Stunted, almost useless arms sprouted from

his upper torso, the sticky fingers of his left hand languidly wrapped

around the smoking-end of his water-pipe. He had no hair.

from Return of the Jedi by James Kahn
