Hayley Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was wondering if anyone else had a character in a book who they aspired to be like, either as a child or now? I think mine was Matilda, it was one of the first Roald Dahl books I read and I watched the film to death when I was younger, I had the blue ribbon for my hair and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 For me it was not a single character, but I always wanted to be a Narnian. At times I almost believed that my fervent wishing to wake up in Narnia would one day work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emelee Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My favorites have been characters from childrens books. Adults in books have too many problems, and I try to be a carefree person. Tjorven (aged 7) from "Seacrow Island" is terrific. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi_p%C3%A5_Saltkr%C3%A5kan She says what she thinks, she does not understand why people complicate things, she can find joy in most things, she's stubborn to have her own way, is followed everywhere she goes by her St Bernard dog and has a very loving family and lives on an island in the archipelago. What a life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I used to want to be the little girl from Charlotte's Web. I loved how simple and kind she was and that she could talk to animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungertattoo Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I read The Vampire Lestat and loved his character, wouldn't say I'd love to be him because he's not a completely moral guy but he does have some qualities that I would aspire to be like.

Ben Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 My choice would have to be Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, for the simple reason that he is an awesome wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
