Character/Talk

I enjoyed the opportunity to explore Ruth's character via an imagined conversation with her. I think this exercise helped me pinpoint specific aspects of her character; as I shaped the conversation it made me consider/reject things I knew Ruth would or would not say, or do. It helped me form a clearer picture of Ruth - what motivated her, her fears, etc.

It's interesting you wrote that. Last night driving back home, we were talking about the political aspects of Ruth, and I think Missy said she thought Ruth would have a different view today, that she would be for Obama. I disagreed, saying Ruth would still hold onto her beliefs, no matter what. She would have her reasons-like she would probably say Obama is Muslim, so he can't be God's choice, so even though he is mixed race like her, he can't be the man for the job. It is interesting to consider her views, and imagine conversing with her.
