ReplyDeleteTo improve;
-can you get an image of Ruth?
-when you are thinking about gender stereotypes, you need to state what stereotypes are associated with that person because of their gender
-hair and make up for Ruth needs to be specific to those conventions rather than costume discussion. Grammar errors here too
