The collage portrays a room with a brown paper brick wall and a floor with a yellow, white, and brown patterned floor. To the left side of the room is a container holding uncooked spaghetti noodles to represent straw, and a spindle with a metal chain coming out of it, leading to a pile of glittery gold paper; representing straw being spun into gold. The miller’s daughter sits to the right of the room on a teal chair, her brown arms grasping the sides of her head, her long black hair tied into a ponytail by a small piece of yarn, everything else made out of paper.

Beneath that heading are scraps of yellow and orange paper chaotically arranged with the words “Analyzing”, “Logic”, “Reasoning”, “Skills”, and “Math”.
