Top Ten Favorite Characters (because I feel like it, that's why)

10. Turtle, The Westing Game--she kicks people in the shins and ends up a multi-millionaire. How could she not make the list?

9. Hector, the Iliad--mainly because of his monologue about why he fought for Troy. . .-sigh-

8. Atticus, To Kill a Mockingbird--I shouldn't have to explain this one.

7. Maximus, Gladiator--"Strength and Honor!"

6. Huck, Huckleberry Finn--because Huck is flippin' awesome.

5. Clarisse, Fahrenheit 451--I copied almost every word she said into my journal and was heartbroken when she died.

4. Jerry Renault, The Chocolate War--he's one of the most believable teenage boys I've ever read about, and for some reason, I liked him.

3. Alice, Alice in Wonderland--did you know she has an identity crisis? It's hilarious! And I can completely identify with the whole 'fall down a rabbit hole and meet a whole bunch of really bizarre people.'

2. The Monster, Frankenstein--the most underappreciated character ever, bar none. And his name is not Frankenstein.

1. The Beast, Beauty and the Beast--I absolutely adored him until he turned into that sissy pretty boy at the end of the movie. (stupid hollywood)

erm. wow. as impressed as i am with your list (and i completely agree here) i am chillingly reminded of the princess diaries book...
but we both know you weren't copying that. your list actually has Thoughtfulness put into it. good job. you know i had the same thing with number 4... weird.

I totally agree with the beast... something about the ruggedness The Westing Game rocks. I love talking to people who are reading it; poor deluded sillies. the twist of the century and turtle rocks!
Dyou like Franz Ferdinand?
