Write down the first ten book characters who come to mind. Try not to use more than one character from any given book.
Character 1: Bonnie Silver from Dragons in Our Midst
Character 2: Faramir from Lord of the Rings
Character 3: Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre
Character 4: Ford Prefect from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Character 5: Cor from Horse and His Boy
Character 6: Philip Lombard from And Then There Were None
Character 7: Katherine Moreland from Northanger Abbey
Character 8: Westly from the Princess Bride
Character 9: Jason Bourne from the Bourne Identity
Character 10: Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility
Now answer the following questions, based on the characters you wrote down above. Absolutely no going back to change the characters you've chosen!
Characters 4 through 10 are on Survivor. Who gets voted off the island first? Katherine Moreland because she has no useful survival skills and she spends all of her time reading the gothic novel she has as her luxury item.
What are the chances of characters 1 and 8 falling in love with each other? No chance. Bonnie is prophesized to marry Billy Bannister, and Westly is taken by Buttercup
Character 2 and character 3 get into a cat fight. Who wins and why? NO! I can't imagine why my beloved Faramir and beloved Mr. Rochester would get into a fight!
Of the other nine characters, who is character 7 most likely to have a crush on? Probably Colonel Brandon, at least before she meets Henry Tilney
What would happen if character 4 got turned into a vampire? Ford Prefect would thirst after Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters all day
Two of the characters are twins separated at birth. Which two are they? Mr. Rochester and Colonel Brandon
Characters 1, 2, 3, and 9 are stuck in an elevator. What do they do to pass the time? They wouldn't pass the time. Jason Bourne would get them out of the elevator
What would happen if character 8 and character 5 were roommates? They practice their sword fighting skills. Westly would be the better and teach Cor.
What do character 10 and character 6 have in common? they're from England...other than that....they're each gentlemen but in different ways
I encourage y'all to do this one too; it was alot of fun.

3 musings:
I actually started to do this one, but I can't think of enough characters... I have recently got into reading... and I have been reading fiction and nonfiction... I don't think the Harris twins count! ha/... I still have your book, I haven't forgotten you! :)
Well, you could always do movie characters instead. ;)
1. Gandalf
2. Aslan
3. Jack Ryan
4. Dismas Hardy
5. Phillip Lombard (And Then There Were None)
6. David Copperfield (Charles Dickens)
7. Nero Wolfe
8. Jane Eyre
9. Kinsey Milhone
10. Stephanie Plum
If 4 through 10 were on Survivor, Stephanie Plum would be voted off first because she’s so inept.
Chances are good that Gandalf and Jane Eyre would fall in love if Rochester were out of the game.
Aslan would win any cat fight between himself and Jack Ryan because, well, he is a large cat.
Nero Wolfe is most likely to have a crush on Kinsey Milhoe, because she is also a qualified criminal investigator. She’s not as inept as Stephanie Plum.
Dismas Hardy is a lawyer. Is that not similar to being a vampire? ha ha
Aslan and Gandalf – twins? Maybe?
If Gandalf, Aslan, Jack Ryan, and Stephanie Plum were stuck in an elevator, Gandalf would get them out, but they would all agree to leave Stephanie Plum there alone.
I don’t think Jane Eyre would agree to be roommates with Phillip Lombard.
David Copperfield and Stephanie Plum have absolutely nothing in common.
