Improved Essays
Everyone needs and has an identity which is very unique. It displays the individual and makes us who we are, but what if someone tells us who we are, giving us an identity, not letting us find our inner, would we create another one and then be two different people or take this identity and build up on it? Emma Watson the teen actress of Harry Potter is an example of someone that was given an identity and who was mainly influenced by this fake identity.
She was given her identity by the harry potter books, as she displayed Hermione Granger since she was 10 years old. For 10 years was she in the role of her character; hardworking , clever, loyal, bossy, little know-it-all, book smart and level-headed, having no real influence on her life at all.

By being this figure for people she helps some to stay strong and to not give up, but actually, the character that does all this is not quite Emma Watson, it rather is a twin of Hermione Granger.
