Selma Newquist

N Is For Noose
Author: Sue Grafton
Chapter 1


Selma Newquist seems like a disturbing person on how she looks though she is in her fifties. The way Kinsey Millhone [the detective] describes her makes her seem dirty. The back of Selma's hands were freckled with liver spots and ropy with veins. Her skin tones suggested dark coloring, but her hair was a confection of white-blood curls, like a cloud of cotton candy. Her hair looked sticky from all the hair spray she puts in her hair. Selma looks like she draws in her eyebrows with a red-brown pencil. To me I can see a image of Selma. She was a type of old lady that worked to hard , smoked to much and didn't exercise as much. Also she seems like she is never organized with her stuff. I think that Selma changed into a smoker and probaly the reason why she don't exercise as much because her husband Tom Newquist died.
-What kind of character you think Selma Newquist is?
