- How does a character look?
- Jude is described as a dark skinned girl in the book "The Vanishing Half" and gets made fun of for it. In the text, it says, " Lonnie probably thought she ran funny or maybe he just liked laughing at her, that white top and white shorts against all that black skin. She never felt darker than when she was running, and at the same time, she never felt less black, less anything." ( Bennett 96). Even though she gets made fun of for being dark, she still runs track because it is her passion. Jude knows people make fun of her but never lets it stop her because she is determined in what she does.

- Stella had taken her daughter away from playing with the neighbor because she is black. In the text, it says, "But she never saw anything alarming until the morning when she spotted her daughter playing dolls in the cul-de-sac with the Walker girl. There was no time to think. Before she knew it, she'd stormed across the street and grabbed her daughter's arm, both girls gaping as she dragged Kennedy back into the house. She was shaking, fumbling to lock the door behind her as her daughter whined about the doll she'd left in the street." (Bennett 172). Stella doing this shows that audience that she is only protecting herself. She doesn't care about how her daughter feels, she only care about keeping her lie undercover.

- What does the character think about?
- Many times in the story Desiree thinks about her sister. In the book, it says, “There was a note left behind in Stella’s careful hand: Sorry, honey, but I’ve got to go my own way. For weeks, Desiree carried it with her until one night, in a fit of fury, she ripped it up, scattered it outside the window. She regretted that now, wished she still had something as small as a scrap of paper with Stella’s handwriting on it.” (Bennett 69). This shows that Desiree still thinks about her sister even though they haven't seen each other for years. Even though she had ripped it out of anger, she still wished she had something to remember her by.
