Relate to Character

   In this book, I can't really relate to one specific character. I relate to bits and pieces of each character.One character didn't really jump out at me. It was a combination of many different traits from several characters that truly related to me the best.

   From Kira, I feel like I can relate to her shy, kindhearted nature. She is very reserved, befriending very few who will tolerate her. I am the same way. I am very shy before you get to know me, but once you get to know me, you will barely tolerate how annoying and repetitive I am.

This is an example of relating to a character. Actors and actresses get the best opportunities to relate to characters because they get to literally be the character. Image courtesy of google.com and izquotes.com

   From Jamison, I relate to his secrecy. He kept a great many things from Kira, all for his own personal benefit (see Chapters 12-14 for examples). I keep secrets too, but mostly just for the good of other people. I'm not saying I won't keep a secret to hide something I did wrong, but most of the secrets I keep are the ones told to me by friends who trust me. And I will never break that trust.

   From Thomas I get protectiveness. He is very protective of Matt and Kira. He is not overprotective, but he cares for them like siblings. I'm the same way with my sisters, but don't tell them I said that. I care for them very much, and will hurt anyone who tries to harm them. I try my best to keep them out of dangerous situations, and do everything I to my ability to get them out of those situations as well.

   Like i said before, there is not one character I relate to individually. I am a patchwork quilt of character traits. But, of course, that simply makes me human.
