In Character

Indiana (Henry Jr.) Jones:
Indy has done so much for our country. He has been able to show the children of American through out countless decades that you can be cool, brave and a nerd. Heroes aren't always the most reckless but also the smartest and Indiana Jones shows that through out his many adventures. This character I find extremely fascinating because he just has a completely different "hero" feel. Indy isn't the James Bond or the Superman type that never gets hurt and is always smooth and that is what I love about the character. He's rough and rowdy but he's smart and he gets the job done!

Scarlett O'Hara:
Scarlett is a very interesting character that has had a rather strange and significant impact on America. She has allowed women to see another woman standing of for herself. Scarlett is a woman who doesn't let herself be pushed around and she also shows America that it is okay to show your emotions. She can be very misunderstood because she is greedy and selfish but really she's just an extreme of what most people feel. She's a realistic character, which is why so many people can relate to the beautiful southern belle.

Brodick Buchanan:
He is a character I read in a novel once. I found him very intriguing because he had a few very distinct traits. He was very blunt and told people what he thought straight out. No lying, no tricks and no nonsense. Brodick just said it as he saw it. This trait I feel could be beneficial to Americans because then people would be more open to each other and their opinions. Also Brodick was an intelligent man who always saw a resolution to a problem. This is a characteristic that should be promoted to many people because too many don't have enough imagination to get themselves out of a situation. Though he is very stubborn and sometimes quite the arrogant charming devil he promotes characteristics that on considered positive in our society. Overall Brodick Buchanan is an interesting character that I found was easy to relate to.
