Character Essay
Have you ever accelerated, pushed yourself, strived to succeed or went beyond the limits? That's what I thought. In my book, Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert the main character, D.J Schwenk is a hardworking, admirable, determined, bright, caring girl. She works her butt off to do farm work at home. She's very intelligent, but that doesn't always show. I think if you read Dairy Queen, D.J would make you think about you have to others. D.J is tall, but not too tall, thin but not too thin, pretty but not popular. Dj is just an ordinary girl, she has straight, plain, brown, hair. She's not a fan of her looks, she thinks she looks “too plain” as she says in the book. She also has these big, brown, sparkling eyes.

Then, her school's arch rivals “Hawleys” quarterback came to her to train, for the “big” football season. Then they both started developing likes for each other.

Dairy Queen is one of the best books I’ve read. It's really an inspirational book to read, it teaches you that if you love something, put your mind to it and reach beyond the limit, you have the ability to be/do whatever you want in life. D.J also teaches me that you don't always have to start from the richest part of town or wear the new hip clothes, it just matters how much effort you put into what you love. As long as you do that, you’ll achieve all of your goals. Thank you
