Week 2: List Your Favorite Characters

  • Holden from Catcher in the Rye
  • Jessie from Toy Story 2
  • Boo from Monsters Inc.
  • Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness
  • The entire cast of Friends
  • Jim Halpert from The Office
  • Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook
  • Snow White
  • Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffanys
  • Reid from Criminal Minds
  • Rapunzel
  • Guido from Life is Beautiful ( an Italian Film)
  • Gatsby
  • Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty

It amazes me how such a different spectrum of characters can pull at certain heart strings. I admire the adventurous soul of Holly Golightly, the overflowing love that pours through Guido, the determination in Gatsby, and the laid back life of Jim Halpert. I don’t think these characters have much in common except for the pure fact that I envied them for having these personality traits that I wish I could have. They set a little fire in our hearts to keep pursuing this life in a different perspective & I think it’s beautiful. Thank God for movies, books, tv shows, and everything else that gives us more creative lenses for this world to see things through.
