If you were a beloved children's character, which ones would you be?______________________
Now that's an interesting question. Am I meant to say which character I think is the most like me? Or more like which character would I like to be? Both, you say? Sure! Why not both!
I even had freckles, reddish hair often worn in braids, and a propensity for books and straw hats.
Honestly, I haven't changed that much. I've just figured out a way to channel my daydreaming into writing, and to go a little slower before I fly off the handle. (Probably much like Anne herself did as she grew up, come to think of it).
So that's who I am like, but then who would I like to be, given the chance?
Should I be content to be who I am, no matter what others seems to think, like Ferdinand the bull? Smart, brave, and helpful like Nancy Drew? Self-sufficient, independent, and unable to be cowed like Pippi Longstocking? Loyal and fierce like Madeline?
I don't think I can pick. How about you? Is there a children's book character you especially identify with? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
Ah, Nancy Drew... I remember reading those series of books aged about 10 and wishing I was her! I didn't have the 'titian' hair though.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of them, different generations even. The ones my mom read and passed on, the ones published when I was young, the ones in the school library (somewhere between).
DeleteI had almost the entire collection of Nancy Drew as a young teen. I have picked up a few copies as collector's items but reading them with an adult eye, is a different experience
ReplyDeleteIt's often that way. I haven't revisited them not wanting to spoil how they are in my memory.
