Today, I am beginning to brainstorm and write my essay to accompany my transfer application to Carolina. The prompt reads as follows:
"It's easy to identify with the hero--the literary or historical figure who saves the day. Have you ever identified with a figure who wasn't a hero--a villain or a scapegoat, a bench-warmer or a bit player? If so, tell us why this figure appealed to you--and if your opinion changed over time, tell us about that, too."
I have decided to write about Neville Longbottom. I think he exemplifies personality characteristics that are often snubbed by Western culture in favor of a more macho, reckless attitude, better exemplified by Harry Potter. Plus he's just adorable.
This is a text conversation between Ben and I:
me: so guess what i'm writing my essay about
him: How you relate to a literary character who isn't the hero.
me: how do you know this??
him: It was just a guess. You told me to guess.
me: lies! you checked facebook on your phone didntcha
him: Yupperz
me: hehe. more importantly, i'm writing about neville longbottom. that's the interesting part.
him: Yup. Agreed
me: i wuv him and his awkward. this is gonna be great if i can actually write it. all i have now is brainstorming notes
him: It'll be great :)
me: i sure do hope so. it could be the clincher. this is my fate!! neville longbottom will determine the rest of my life.
him: Hehe... So for now he IS the chosen one.
I love my boyfriend.
