It's been a while since we've done a question of the week, so in honor of Election Day here in the good ol' U. S. of A., we pose to you this question: If you could elect a book character as the next President of the United States, whom would you choose and why?
Chris says:
I would vote for Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games. He has a charismatic personality, and people want to follow his lead. Based on what we know from Catching Fire and Mockingjay, he is skilled as a fighter, loyal, and selfless. Honorable mention: Mikael Blomkvist from The Millennium Trilogy would make a very Clinton-esque president; also, Minerva McGonagall from Harry Potter or Skeeter Phelan from The Help would
be amazing as the first female president. Obviously, none of those
characters could actually be President of the United States because
Finnick is from a post-US world, Blomkvist and McGonagall are from
Europe, and Skeeter is too young, but I still think they'd all be great.
Stefanie says:
I would vote for Nicholas Benedict from The Mysterious Benedict Society because he's genius smart, fatherly, good at making tough decisions, and experienced in top-secret missions to save the world. However, he does suffer from narcolepsy, so he'll need a great running mate to take the reins when he's suffering from one of his sleeping spells. I would recommend a grown-up version of Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus raised Scout to be fair, loyal, kind, giving, and selfless, and I have a feeling she ended up getting a law degree like her dad so she could help those less fortunate than her fight for their rights. Just as she brings Boo Radley out of the shadows, she would make sure that no one would ever feel like they were forgotten or unspoken for. I do love the idea of Skeeter Phelan too though!
