<p>I am planning on answering: "Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure or a creative work(as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you and explain it."</p>
<p>I'm thinking about going with character in fiction. Would Holden Caulfield from the Catcher in the Rye be considered an appropriate example...or Chappie from Rule of the bONE? What do you think colleges will think of that?</p>
<p>and if you answered this question in your common app, what character did you pick?</p>
