| Life in a Bag |
 |
| I don't know about the rest of you, but I often hear people (mostly women) say,
"My whole life is in here," when referring to their handbag, backpack, or whatever else they carry around. So...here's your exercise: The scenario: You come across a tan Liz Claiborne bag that has been left behind. (Location is of your choosing, but not essential to this exercise.) You open it up and find these items: *Leather wallet with driver's license, pictures of children, voter's registration, ATM card *hairbrush *glucose tablets *a pack of crackers *a set of contact lenses and an eyeglass case *an envelope with pictures of an old man, some taken in a hospital *a plastic ziplock bag with mascara, lipstick, eye liner, powder *tampons *cigarette lighter *a piece of paper with email addresses *pens *gum *toothbrush and toothpaste and floss *Baby lotion *Victoria's Secret perfume From these items, create a character sketch of the owner of the bag. Include in your character sketch one conflict and/or motive. Use your imagination and fill in whatever blanks you need to. As always...have fun with it! |
