Characters in books, movie, and Television shows that stay with you:

Characters are essential for writing fiction in
making a story sing, and to bring a plot to life. Characters can make or break
a book, and the best ones stay with a reader long after you put down the book.
I have read a lot of books that stayed with me even long after I stopped
reading because I connected with them. How should I know about it? Simple I am
a reader and I was reading way before I started writing seriously. I devoured
books when I was in high school, and even in middle school. Television shows
help as well as reading books, and even movies can be essential in learning
character development.




When I was in the fifth grade I loved The Mummy and The Mummy Returns because it was about ancient Egypt, and I loved
the characters of Rick O’Connel who is portrayed by Brendan Fraser since he is
an adventurous, gun toting treasure seeker. I loved Evelyn Carnahan  (Rachel Weisz) character since she is a
librarian who wanted to go to Hamunaptra to discover a book. I loved the humor
in it too, and Rick is a funny guy. I loved the second one since it showed a
side of Rick I have never seen.




I loved the Halloween
Town movies all the way through the third one because Kimberly Brown played
Marnie Cromwell who discovers she is a witch, and then they save the
townspeople from Kalibar the evil mayor. I love her character and she develops
through the movies. I loved Halloweentown
High the most because it shows the creatures blending in with the normal
world, and it was a pretty good story especially with the added danger of the
Knights.




I loved Dark
Shadows because of the character of Barnabus Collins played by Johnny Depp.
Watching it brought tears to my eyes since he got turned into a vampire by an
evil witch who wanted him to love her. I loved the romance between Barnabus and
Victoria. It was a good movie, and it made me wonder what happened to
them.




The characters readers connect with will make you
wonder what happened to them even after you stopped reading, or watching the
movie. It makes readers see them as real people instead of fictional characters
because of their flaws, hopes, and dreams. I love movies, and books that make
me wonder what happened to them even after I stopped watching and reading.




Warm
Bodies is a good example of that, and I loved R (Nicholas
Hoult) and Julie(Teresa Palmer). I loved R’s inner dialogue, and the fact that
he thinks about more than just eating brains. I loved how Julie is sweet, and
that she can take care of herself. I loved the movie, and I do plan on reading
the book. I want to know what happens next to R and Julie after they changed
the zombies, and killed the Bonies. I loved their romance, and the fact that R
does not want to hurt people. He only eats brains to feel human.




Characters have quirks and a past that can take a
reader on a journey, and makes you think about them even after they stopped
telling their story. They are as essential as a plot too. That is what I hope
to achieve with my writing too, and craft characters to make people think about
them even when they put down the book, and stop watching the movie.




I hope you enjoyed the post.




Until next time,
