WildGravityWhat character do you relate with?
Just a fun question I thought of the other day. Sorry if this has been posted before!
If you were a character in any existing book, movie or play, who would you be?
What character do you see much of yourself in?
Me, I feel endeared to the character of Maggie (the cat) from
Cat on a hot tin roofCats are a mysterious kind of folk..

rocketPip, from Great Expectations.
She stood silently looking out into the great sallow distances of sea bottom, as if recalling something, her yellow eyes soft and moist...

grasstainsQuasimodo (The Hunchback), Lenny (Of Mice And Men), and Bianca (from Sturgeon's "Bianca's Hands") because they had an undying need to be loved, a void which could never be filled. You could probably add Mary Shelley's monster and old Seaclops from RB's "The Foghorn" to that list. Theodore Sturgeon has several such characters in stories and novels, with "Saucer Of Lonliness" and MORE THAN HUMAN being his most famous and perhaps saddest.
On the flip side of that is Ray Bradbury's Clarisse from F-451 who runs amok stuffing herself full of loveliness, running into the rain, not away from it--head back, mouth open, tongue out... tasting the rain. Beautiful child. Don't we all want to be like that?

Robert M BlevinsI always thought I was somewhat like the main character in the film 'The Shawshank Redemption'
Or maybe 'Jeremiah Johnson,' although I am nowhere near as good-looking as Redford...(lol)

dandelionChapter 31 and fanboy, I am reading your book!

Chapter 31Dandelion,
And whether that book shall be the favorite of your life, or whether that station will be held by another, its pages must show. (But then there’s “Dandelion Wine” and then there’s everything else.)
Braling II,
Piglet. Yes, Piglet! How could I have not thought of him? Piglet for sure.

dandelionWell, "Dandelion Wine" would be an EXTREMELY tough act to follow!

fanboyDandelion, you will like it. The other character which I deeply connect with is Cyrano De Bergerac. I never get tired of that story.

Sometimes.. I feel like going to 100 acre woods and giving Eyore a house of some kind. Although I'm sure some kind of malicious butterfly would land on it thusly destroying it.
