Here is this week's question:

If you could step into one
character's shoes (in a book),
and be that person for 
a day, who would it be, and why?
Also, if you want to be 
creative, what scene would 
you pick?

There are two characters that instantly came to mind in answer to this question: Jane Eyre and Hermione Granger. I'd love to be either one of them for a day!

I picked Jane Eyre because I greatly admire her determination, courage, and passionate nature. I also greatly admire her firm adherence to her values and principles, even in the face of great temptation to go against them.

Jane Eyre, to me, is a perfect combination of passion and intellectual excellence. She is also a feminist. Furthermore, she is not a shallow person at all. Her love for Rochester has nothing to do with his wealth; she sincerely values him as a person, and as a man. She disagrees very strongly with him on certain points, and firmly tells him so, but her love for him remains steadfast.

As for the scene I wish I could be in, it's the famous one in the orchard, when Jane finally declares her love to him, sarcastically telling him that, just because she's "plain, little, and obscure", that doesn't mean she is not capable of as much passionate love as he is. 

I admire my second choice, Hermione Granger, just as much as Jane! She too, is courageous, but her courage is directly related to dangerous magical adventures. She is also extremely resourceful; she can think on her feet whenever she and her friends are in the middle of a dire situation. She's also a very loyal friend to Harry and Ron, and is always up for solving mysteries. In addition to all this, she's as outspoken as Jane, and not afraid to stand up for her views. 

I have always thought that she should have been  Harry's girlfriend, as they are both heroic, both equally talented in magic. They would have been ideal partners in love as well as in battling evil forces!

I can't think of any favorite scenes for Hermione, though, as I read the books some time ago. In relation to this, I sometimes think that Rowling should have created a spinoff series, entirely about Hermione's adventures!
