Summary: Bend It Like Beckam

Decent Essays
Many people can relate to a movie character or a book character in some way or another. People may relate to a character through their appearance, others may relate through their personality. I can relate to Jess Bhamra from Bend It Like Beckam because we both like to play soccer, but we haven’t played on a team before, both of our dads are overprotective, and our sisters can both be trusted with secrets that we tell them. The first way I can relate to Jess is in that we both play soccer, but not on an actual team. In the movie, Jess plays soccer in the park with some boys that are close to her family. I go over to my best friend Smalls’ house a lot and we play soccer with his family. Neither of us have played on an actual team before

    Some people recognize similarities between them and characters from movies that they watch or from books that they read. I strongly think that I share many similarities with the character Rudy from the movie Rudy, and I think we are alike in many ways. To begin with, in the movie, Rudy never gave up once and always gave one hundred percent of his effort when he played on the field. Also, like me, Rudy loved sports and was always focused on getting better, and it was easy to tell because of his devotion to sports. Finally, Rudy was always the hardest working and most determined person on the field.…

    My favorite characters were Eddie and Marcus. Eddie and Marcus may have foolishly robbed people and pointed a gun at their victims, but they almost always stuck together. Neither boy would “rat” out their friends, instead they kept quiet and attempted to protect each other as long as possible. The characters I liked the least were Eddies and Marcus’ mothers.…

    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.…
