Fictional Character, Fictional Life -Hope Reed

If I was any fictional character, I would undoubtedly pick Margo Ross Spiegelman. I don't read as much as I'd love to, but this character has stuck out to me more than any character I've ever seen in any movies or read about in any books (though it's one of those basic 'everybody has read it' books, I actually really enjoyed it, in fact I've read it four times, and it has truly inspired me).

Margo is a soul full of energy, motivation, spirit, and confidence. She's also just incredibly genius. She stands out in a crowd shamelessly and would not change for any circumstance or person. Normal is boring.  I used to try to fit in with the status quo in middle school and even a little into high school, but then I realized how uncool being cool was. Margo is her own spunky, weird self. And she inspires me to do the same. I shouldn't have to change who I am for other people to accept me; if they don't accept me for who I am then that's their problem.

Another reason I would want to be Margo is because she is very spontaneous, and she fearlessly pursues what she wants in these incredible adventures.  Like she breaks into Sea World... that's just awesome. I love going on crazy adventures; one day I hope to be as brave and independent as she is.

Margo has is incredibly smart, thoughtful, free-spirited, adventurous, and brave. And I'd love to be all of these attributes packaged into one human.

P.S. the book is 500% better than the movie. Read it; don't bother watching the movie.
