Assignment 22: Fictional Character, Fictional Life - Harrison Broyles

If I were to be a fictional character, I would be Walter White from Breaking Bad. He may not be the best example to follow (but no one really is anyways), however, he exemplifies strong, positive traits in the face of the travesties of life.

The first trait he exemplifies is selflessness. Once diagnosed with cancer, his first thought was to save his family once he was gone. He compromised his morals, stole from his school. saved a suspect from arrest, and cooked meth for goodness sake all for his family. He gave up everything in life, including several relationships, in order to provide for those he loved, even if they didn't love him.

Another trait he exemplifies is compassion. Throughout all the killing and death he caused, he relentlessly sought to rectify his mistakes, albeit usually with more death. He achieved a revenge style justice for the pain and suffering of those he loved and those who didn't have a voice. He directly opposed those who were in the wrong, and stood up for what he thought was right

A final trait he shows is defiance. Even while he is sick and dying, shot, or on the run with no where to turn to, he constantly defies nature and foes in a battle for self preserverence. He doesn't let cancer take him until he's ready, and while he's on the run fights to make contact with those he loved without regard for his safety, as he would weasel his way out of whatever circumstances arose.
