5 Fictional Characters I Identify With

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish which I found out about thanks to Amber over at Me, My Shelf & I. There's a new book-related top ten list every single week and it is a great way to get to know other book-loving bloggers! Everyone is welcome to join in the weekly linky party, even if you can't think of TEN for a certain Tuesday (just think of as many as you can!), just make sure you link back to The Broke and the Bookish if you do!

This week's topic is:

TOP TEN CHARACTERS WHO REMIND ME OF MYSELF OR SOMEONE I KNOW IN REAL LIFE

Although I identify with almost all characters I read, I found this list to be quite difficult to put together. Therefore, I stuck to the five characters that, before I was faced with this assignment, jumped off the page and screamed their similarities to me. This can also double as part of my list of my favorite reads of all time!

CHARACTERS THAT REMIND ME OF ME: 

1. Barbara Thorson from I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and JM Ken Nimura 
Because I understand her battle and know how hard it can be to kill giants at any age.

 2. Boo Radley from To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Because since leaving work I have become as pallid and reclusive as Boo and imagine that the kids in my neighborhood are coming up with fantastic tales about me every day :)

CHARACTER THAT REMINDS ME OF MY BEST FRIEND, DAWN: 
 
3.  Sophia from I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and KM Nimura
Because she never gave up on Barbara and stood by her through all of her battles.

CHARACTER THAT REMINDS ME OF MY MOM:

 4. The Tree from The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Because she always gave and it always made her happy.

 
CHARACTER THAT REMIND ME OF MY HUSBAND:

5. Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
Because we go, together on all of the crazy adventures we can imagine, have long philosophical and sometimes ridiculous conversations, he's cuddly, likes tuna and has been known to tackle loved ones with a strength that doesn't seem fair. Also, he is predisposed to having impromptu dance parties in the middle of the living room without warning.

 

So what about you? Which characters would you pick?
