An Interesting Meme
fitfool posted a meme she found on one of her friend's LJ. It asks to list 10 characters from literature or cinema/TV that you identify yourself with. So, here's my list.
- Charlie Gordon: Flowers for Algernon, I identify very closely with Charlie Gordon who goes from being a man with mental retardation to super genius (jeanass) in a very short time and who finds both conditions less than desirable.
- Mr. Spock: Star Trek, I often tell people I was Mr. Spock long before there was a Mr. Spock. Emotions have always been a stumbling block for me and I have always kept them tightly controlled.
- George Bailey: It's a Wonderful Life, I would love to be George Bailey, kind hearted, considerate and full of integrity. George has been an inspiration to me.
- Boxer: Animal Farm, Hard working Boxer who began to suspect that all was not what he'd been told on the Animal Farm.
- Ian Graeme: Dorsai!, Ian was the strategist and darker half of the twin Graemes Kenzie and Ian Graeme. Dispassionate and stoic. Ian was the perfect strategic operator. Yet he was dependent upon his lighter and more personable brother Kenzie.
- Captain Nathan Brittles: She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The aging Captain Brittles has the challenge of passing on his knowledge to his two junior officers while dealing with his impending retirement from the Army and loss of purpose.
- The Snark: Hunting of the Snark/Alice in Wonderland, While a common snark does no manner of harm, Some are boojums causing those it encounters to softly and suddenly vanish away.
- Robert "Dutch" Holland: Strategic Air Command, Played by Jimmy Stewart, this character gives up a career in professional baseball to serve his country in the USAF's Strategic Air Command as a bomber pilot during the Cold War.
- Winston Smith: 1984, He was aught but a bureaucrat until he began to question the nature of the society he lived in..
- Father Francis Chisholm: Keys to the Kingdom, Both a book and movie character, Father Chisholm adopts to China and changing times whilst never losing sight of his mission nor his integrity. His story is one of tolerance without surrender.
