For my observe and infer assignment I decided to watch the scene The Prince and the Servant Girl from the Cinderella-esque film Ever After starring Drew Barrymore, and characterize her part as Danielle.
OBSERVATIONS:
Wearing tattered clothes, has dirty face, and long dry hair
Sleeping on the dusty wooden floor next to the dim fire
Reading Utopia
Works on foggy farm collecting apples
Throws apples at a man stealing her father’s horse
Instantly bows and asks for forgiveness once she realizes it is the prince
Offers the prince a different horse
Offers the gold coins to another servant to save her husband from the Americas
States she “won’t let this home fall apart”
Lies about where she was during the morning to her stepmother
INFERENCES:
She is unfortunate and too poor to have higher living standards such as a room and a bath
The fact that she is reading shows that she is literate and intelligent
She must work hard to maintain the estate and upkeep her stepfamily’s living standards
She is aggressive and won’t let anyone take advantage of their estate
She has morals against theft and is determined to protect the estate
She is confident
She is obedient in the presence of royalty and follows the laws of the country
She is pragmatic and thoughtful
She is also kind, generous, and selfless as she is willing to give up the gold coins for another’s happiness
She is strong-minded and the core of the household
She tries to avoid unnecessary conflict
