Characters That Made An Impression

Inspired by Rachel Heffington's post today about characters that leave an impression in one's heart, here is my list.



1)
John C. Calhoun- from John C. Calhoun: American Portrait.   Even though I disagree with him on some political issues I greatly admire him. Calhoun stood against corruption and spoke up for what he believed in. He wanted to retire to his beloved family but decided God called him to Washington and he should stay.  I could relate to Calhoun personality wise, which made me find him a very sympathetic character who shared my dreams and ambitions.

2)
Enjolras- Les Miserables. His love of politics and freedom. He wasn't afraid to be different or stand out, he put his country and ideals first.  He had good morals, and good moral restraints. Usually people say that relate to Fantine, Eponine or Marius--- but for me it was Enjolras. Before I watched Les Mis some of my friends said I reminded them of him, and now I see why.


3)
Henry Clay- Henry Clay: The Essential American. We do not have very much in common, but I just love Clay.

4)
Lucy Pevensie- Narnia. She is adorable, and a picture of hope and innocence.

5) Peter Pevensie- Narnia. Honorable, leader, noble--- what more can you admire?

6) Beth March- Little Women. Unlike Enjolras, Beth and I do not have much of anything in common. But she is so sweet and compassionate, she most certainly has an imprint in me.

7) Orry Main- North and South. Again, a character I can relate to personality-wise

8) Abigail Adams- John Adams. Really smart and supportive.
