QotD: Fictional Friend
What fictional character do you relate to most and why?
Francie Nolan.
I don't know why I still feel that way as my life is certainly decidedly different that what this girl in turn of the 20th century America experienced.
I guess it is because I read this book when I was in junior high, and something about this character - her no-more-than-average looks, her love of reading and writing, her somewhat difficult relationship with her mother, her sensitivity to the beauty in life despite the harsh reality of where she lived and the things she experienced - spoke to me. I was enthralled with this book. And in many ways I still am. I've read it no less than 2 dozen times since then.
And every time I read it, the girl on the fire escape nibbling on peppermint candy and reading a book
looks just like me.
