<li>Describe a character in literature (excluding childrens literature) for whom you hold a special affinity and illustrate how this character has influenced you.</li>
</ol>
<p>do u think I should spend some time describing the character’s role in the novel (its a very popular character, anyone that went to school in the USA should know him)…or should I just get to how he influenced me?</p>
<p>Well, I would probably give a little bit of the character. This question is two parts.<br>
1) Describe a character in literature
2) illustrate how this character has influenced you
But I would devote most of the paper to how this character has influenced you, especially if the character is not particuarly obscure. I'll take a look at it when you are done if you want :) Good luck!</p>
