Most writers enjoy reading. They enjoy the creativity of other writers and are often eager to absorb others' writing styles. Many authors over the years have beautifully crafted some of the world's most memorable characters. These include, but are in no way limited to: Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird, Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Pip from Great Expectations, Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, Edward and Bella from the Twilight series, Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series, Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye, Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and on and on and on.
Today, think about your favorite character from a book or comic book. Bring them to the "real world." What would he or she be like in the 21st century? In high school? As a mother or father? Be creative!
