If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn seems to be a most admirable character. Having been brought up motherless by an alcoholic, abusive father, he is objective about relationships but accepting of true friendship. He is totally independent and nonjudgmental as evidenced by his treatment of the slave, Jim. The only time he shows a bit of loneliness is at his and Tom’s funeral when no one welcomes him home but is is accepting of loving kindness when it presents itself.

Nice take on this often overlooked character, who illustrates true Christian humility and unconditional acceptance.
For some serious hillbilly reading, I’ve been meaning to recommend to you Peter Matthiessen’s ‘Shadow Country.’ It’ll keep you busy for quite a while and I think you might be glad of it.
If we were hanging out, maybe I’d call you “Huck” 😊

I’d like to be the father in ‘To kill a mockingbird’, he appeared to be a perfect father.

Harper Lee’s mother died of a heart attack when Harper was two. Jem also died young of a heart attack. Harper’s mother was probably bipolar, a recluse.

Oh, I knew you did. I just went down a rabbit hole. He did seem perfect. He always made me think of my grandfather, a very gentle man. Surprisingly, even though he was a farmer, he had soft hands.
