My favorite character in literature is Jessica from the book
Running Dream. Jessica changes a ton
in this book. In the beginning she was the all star runner on her track team.
She was a superstar and loved to run with her dog. How the author describes her
when she is running, Jess seems so powerful and adventurous, that what really
makes me get dragged into the book because of Jess. Things change really fast
and really shockingly. On the way to the track meet, the school bus tips with one
of the kids dies and Jessica’s leg gets crushed and has to be amputated. She
becomes really depressed and blue and doesn’t believe she could ever run again.
Then her spirits get lifted and she gets a fake leg and starts running. She goes from being blue and depressed to
being thankful she got to run again and not caring what she looked like because
she gets to run. I related to her so much because this book was so strong and
powerful that putting Jessica, a powerful character, into the book really got
me into this and caught my attention.
How does she change though? She makes friends outside her circle, does something she never thought she could do (push Rose in the wheelchair so she too can feel what it is like to run, etc).
