But, I guess that's kind of the point, right? Their world has major flaws, and if they didn't, there really wouldn't be any plot, but yeah...it would suck to live in any of them, probably because to live their something bad has to happen to our world first. :S<br /><br />And I wouldn't want to be a character with that much responsibility either...I'd totally buckle under the pressure. :P Although, their lives after all the bad stuff happens do seem to be pretty great. :) I'd totally be up for being the awesome sidekick to the person with all the responsibility though, they always seem to have more fun. :PAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-1585587055432596622014-01-29T19:09:34.403-07:002014-01-29T19:09:34.403-07:00I think it's interesting that all the worlds y...I think it's interesting that all the worlds you picked are dystopian/post-apocalyptic, while 4 of your 5 character choices are actually from fantasies.

I also agree with not wanting to be Harry Potter or Frodo Baggins. They have some tough journey's and I would totally die early if I were them. haha<br /><br />Shooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-49555873182356673492014-01-28T18:59:07.871-07:002014-01-28T18:59:07.871-07:00ohhh The Road.

I totally agree about Alina Starkov and Katniss!!! Gosh, the might be awesome heroines but CRAP they have had sucky times to get there! And Harry... I wouldn't want to be him, but I sure would want to be Hermione ;) great list Aylee!!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812554090848662429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-31792829239960148822014-01-28T14:29:13.447-07:002014-01-28T14:29:13.447-07:00If I found myself in the world of The Road or The ...If I found myself in the world of The Road or The Hunger Games I would probably pee my pants and then hide behind the nearest tree until someone finds me and kills me. Actually all of these worlds terrify me. And I definitely wouldn't trade places with Harry, Frodo, or Katniss. I guess I might face my fear and step into Karou or Alina's shoes, only because their worlds are so fantastical and beautiful, even if they are scary (plus they get to kiss my book boyfriends, so it would be worth the danger).

The fact that cannibalism is in the book makes me want to put the book in the freezer. Great character choices too! I also wouldn't want to be Violet in the Body Finder series either. The power to detect dead bodies. *Shudders* NO thanks.

I mean, he's sent on this awful journey, kidnapped, nearly devoured by a giant spider, had attempts on his life repeatedly, stabbed several times, watched those he's love be killed, fought off starvation and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Yeah would not want to be Frodo at all.

I always imagine him as an outsider looking in, watching Sam and Rose and their family, but never really being able to share in their happiness.

Reading the books solidified that for me, but it wasn't until I saw Catching Fire and that little girl told Katniss she wanted to be like her and volunteer when she grew up that I really understood how nauseating this dystopian world is. Nope. I couldn't handle it, especially if I lived in a district. <br /><br />Aly @ My Heart Hearts Books<br><a href="http://myheartheartsbooks.blogspot.com/2014/01/top-ten-characters-id-never-want-to.html" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a>Alyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915699621994444274noreply@blogger.com
