Decent Essays
I would say that my characters are quite distinctive as each show different emotional levels. For example Devin is emotionally all over the place throughout the script where as the Priestess has this strong personality to her in that she looks down on everyone because she feels much higher than them. I would say it’s quite hard to say whether my characters are believable or not because with everything that goes on in the plot, it’s not something that could ever happen really, it’s pure fiction so with my characters I’ve tried to make them as believable as possible by the way each one reacts to this type of scenario.

Believe it or not, authors intentionally focus your attention on specific characters to progress the story along by making them either dynamic or static.

    I really am not a fan of people comparing me to others, but when I think of fictional characters that remind me of me, a few come to mind. When I think of my personality, I think of humor and a loving person who is hardworking. I really don't like being compared to people because I feel I am one-of-a-kind and don't believe anyone is like me. Despite when speaking of fictional characters who are most like me, I believe three come to mind these three characters represent me as a person in different ways. The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Stitch from Lilo and Stitch for his hard working and outgoing personality, Roger for his wisdom and understanding, and Stewie for his intelligence and humor but also caring for his family.…
