1. Anne of Green Gables! As urban as most of my life has been, I love her long skirts, long dresses, and the general prairie look and effect.
2. For a locale rather than a character, I love watching CSI Miami! It's a great show, but how fun to imagine myself in the non-crime, urban Miami settings. 3. I'll be Moses' sister Miriam dancing for joy in the desert (and wearing a long skirt, too)! I love how the desert strips us to essentials and heals us; of course the exodus narrative is part of our stories, too.
4. Wol in A A Milne's The House at Pooh Corner, etc. Such an astute observer who never minces words!
5. I want to be one of the humans on the cast of Sesame Street as a create-my-own character! The diverse, yet ever-changing urban setting still sets an example for living in community.
Oh, I love this! Wol, splendid.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Interesting how many of us love Anne with an E.
ReplyDeleteoh my...pick five....only five....okay....1) Trillian from Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books - I love the wacky sense of humor and the oddball cast of characters. 2) Miss Marple from the Agatha Christie books, because I have always loved a good mystery. 3) Rogue from X-men, as a comic book nerd I have always loved Rogue,and the idea of fighting for those who need help, also appealing to me. 4) Amelia Peabody in the Elizabeth Peters novels that take place in Egypt; they combine a local I am fascinated with, archeology and a good mystery story. 5) Eowyn from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
ReplyDeleteCSI-Miami was one show I watched as well.
ReplyDeleteFabulous play!!
ReplyDeleteAnd cracker--oh, I almost picked Eowyn! I wish I'd remembered Miss Marple, I love her.
loved the Anne books too, but I think I'd do better as Mrs. Rachel Lynde... thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine is a rabbi and she hosts a women's Seder every year. I went three times or so when I lived in Chicago and my daughter was younger. A women's Seder tells the Exodus story through the perspective of Miriam and the women. It's fabulous - which is what I think of when you refer to her dancing...
