I got this idea from watching the show Once Upon A Time where the characters from fairy tales are trapped in a modern day town and they don't remember who they really are. Its a good show.

You can choose from books, movies, songs, etc..

cleaned up and given new clothes, as if by magic!
rescued from bondage and seated on a throne!
loved forever!

Hmmm.....

I wish I was Dickon from The Secret Garden. (He's a young boy that spends much of his time roaming the hillsides and is very in tune with nature)

There are times where I feel like The Little Engine That Could. But I wouldn't say that story mirrors my own.

I think I'd probably choose Wolverine. For those who don't know the character, he's a mutant with animal senses and claws that pop out from between his knuckles.

Hard to say...as there are a great many...and who I want to be or am? They could be anything one...but if I have to choose someone, then I'm Gandalf, son!

I guess I would be Hould Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye. When I was a teen and I first read Salinger's novel I felt like "how can this guy know so much about me without even knowing me?"
It was definitely akward and impressive at the same time.

Don't forget the indestructible skeleton and basic immortality through his healing factors...those are the good points.



I'd probably have to be either Tony Stark, The Doctor, or someone with almost limitless power like a character from a book called urza who is basically who constrained at what he can do by what he can think of.

I think he represented a lot of adolescents, feeling lost in the world, searching for authenticity, conflicting feelings. But he was mentally ill. I did a psych paper on him last semester and a possible diagnosis. It was very interesting to read that book again and not from adolescent's perspective when I had first read it in highschool, but through psychological lens.

I should probably remind everyone that the Bible qualifies as a storybook too.

I'll divide them in to classes.

Class 1: What other people tell me.

Sherlock Holmes, Dr. House, Tony Stark, Star Trek TNG's Q (not to be confused with 007's Q), Commander Data, Peter O'Toole's TE Lawrence, Ash from Alien, Dr. Emmet Brown, Downton Abbey's Violet (random, yes?)

These were results collected over the years. What I find entertaining is that they are typically either Androids, Mad Scientists, and generally condescending jerks.

Class 2: My Choices

From Dostoevksy: The Dreamer of "White Nights" who dreams of romance so vividly that he never truly finds it. Razumikhin of Crime and Punishment who is a principled and well-socialized for Roskolnikov. On the flipside I identified with Rogozhin in The Idiot more than any of the other characters and he was most definitely the darker of the two foiled protagonists.

Ender from Orson Scott Card's famous series. He came, he saw, he conquered, and he walked into a different lifestyle thereafter. More or less what I am trying to do with my life.

As a kid...Jack the Giant Killer...always Jack the Giant Killer. Look out world.

Gandalf too. I wouldn't claim his mantle of wisdom or intelligence, but I can identify with his attempt to empower the common people in a fight against tyranny in which it often seems hopeless.

That and I am quoted by close friends as saying that politics should be put in context as a War of the Ring, not a Game of Thrones. Hardyharhar
