Watch and Wear

ADVENTURES OF THE BAILEY SCHOOL KIDS (VOLUME 1)Should you ever judge a person by what they wear? I know you shouldn't, but I knew right from the start there was something wrong with Mrs. Jeepers just from the clothes she wore. In "The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids" series, "Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots," couldn't you just tell? I mean, a starched white blouse with a high collar and a glowing, green brooch the size of a chicken egg? Creepy!

And remember Count Olaf in Brett Helquist's (aka Lemony Snicket), "A Series Of Unfortunate Events?" Even before he spoke, I knew he was trouble. Just check out the clothes he wore. I would never have entrusted the Baudeliere orphans to a man who dressed like that. Frankly, his jacket was a dead giveaway.

So maybe, just maybe, you can judge a person by the clothes they wear. At least you can in books! I think it's a good sense to develop about characters. What do you think?

    erjmyes in books you can definately tell if the person the author is discribing is an evil person or not. but in real life you can too i mean if someone is dressed all werid you aoutomaticly think "oh s/he is werid and I don't want to hang out with them.

    But its a little less "black and white" in real life. Sometimes weird can hide something wonderful, don't you agree? And, even in books, the author can make a character appear to be something he or she isn't, like Sirius Black in the beginning...
