<p>For the whole "Character in fiction...etc. who inspires you" essay, I came up with the following idea:
John Keating, the teacher (played by Robin Williams) in Dead Poets' Society! I know, I know, it's a movie (does that make me seem unsophisticated?), but I think his message of "Carpe Diem" really has affected me, and it's a topic I can easily talk about for hours.</p>
<p>What do you think??</p>
<p>P.S. If anyone steals my idea, I'll kill them . . . haha</p>
<p>Well, it depends on if you can really relate to that character and if that character accurately portrays who you are.</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>C'mon, guys, it's one of the most inspirational films ever made!</p>
<p>Yeah, any character would work as long as he inspires you in some way, so go for it. Being from a movie doesn't make you seem unsophisticated, and I do agree that he was a really inspirational character. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks, Star!
I think it'll be a good one primarily because I'm already excited to write it!</p>
<p>"I was the intellectual equivalent of a 98lb weakling. I would go to the beach, and people would kick copies of Byron in my face!"
lol witty</p>
<p>Though it's something that ..I or most people probably wouldn't reference, there might be someone out there who loves DPS as much as you do. I think you could make this into a great essay. Just make sure you relate it to you. Don't make into a fan dedication to John Keating.</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
