Let me start by saying this was really hard for me, because I don't feel like there have been a lot of books I have read or tv shows/movies I have seen that have characters that are like me, so I don't know. Whatever.
As I was trying to decide who my fictional characters were, I realized some interesting things. 1) The first character is most like me in elementary school. 2) The second character is most like me in middle school. 3) The third character is most like me in high school. I didn't plan them that way; it just happened. Also, ALL three of them have crazy curly brunette hair (like me!)
Anywho, without further ado, here are my three picks:
Ruthie Camden from "7th Heaven" |
Dorothy Anne Torkelson from the TV show "The Torkelsons" |
Dorothy was a shy introvert who ended the days of her crazy adolescent adventures by sitting next to her window and talking to "The Man in the Moon". Well, I never talked to the man in the moon (because he doesn't exist), but I did journal a lot when I was a teenager, so I felt like I could relate to her pretty well. Plus, her mom was a single mom trying to do her best to raise her kids, and that was totally my mom too!
Jessie Spano from "Saved by the Bell" |
Jessie Spano was super skinny and could dance and sing. She was like the social coordinator among her friends, and challenged them all to be better at life. She could also be neurotic and easily stressed out, and it was really important for her to do well in school and get straight A's - high school Christina in a nutshell. Minus the skinny part. And the good dancer part. #fatkidsunite #twoleftfeetoverhere #alsoIwearsize11shoes #notconducivefordancing
Well, those are my three choices. What do you think? Totally me? Not me at all? Is there anyone else you can think of who is similar to me? Let me know in the comments!
The Torkelsons!!! Shut up! Way to bring back an oldie but a goodie! Good job on picking your characters. :)
ReplyDeleteTime for a new post. Maybe a 2017 resolutions post? Or a BOOK LIST?? ;) We should read at least one book together this year so we can discuss it. Feel free to go peruse my book list and let me know which one you're interested in. It feels like Agnes Grey, but you do you, girl.
ReplyDeleteI will do one post of each! I'll go look at your book list now :)
DeleteHannah, done and done :) you're welcome :P
