Writers add details (like clothing) to their characters for a reason. Some reasons are to keep the story realistic, to make a character more special, to make a character stand out, to keep your reader reading, to make your reader have a certain feeling, to add to your story so it will be better. Dressing your characters makes more people want to read your story because it looks better.

Every one characters look nice.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was their yesterday to try and dress my charecters.:( I was wondering could their be any more reasons why readers would like it better if theirs charecters dressed in fancy cloths,silky cloths,rock in roll cloths,or evan cloths that your grandma or mom sewed for you and you put that sewed top or pants or shirt and you put it on your favorite charecter.Im going to start working on a leperchaun book and I can dress my leperchaun in Irish cloths and I can tweet Mr.Quinns class and ask them what would Irish cloths look like? BY! for now! From:Allie H.
