Character Set 5

In the past few weeks I have released set 1, set 2 , set 3 and set 4 of my photo-series "Character".  Now it is time for my last set, set 5.  We are missing one picture from the series due to technical difficulties,  hopefully sometime in the next month or so we will be able to finish the 20th picture, so for today, we have the final 3 pictures

Ms. Valerie Frizzle

Ms. Frizzle is a brilliant teacher, immersing her students (often literally!) in the subjects they are studying in class.

She encourages her students, and herself, to explore the world and learn something new, every day.

Peter Pan

Wendy is kind and nurturing. She is also adventurous and smart and willing to see the magic in the world around her.  She has a great imagination.

Ramona has a great imagination and is very curious about the world around her. She loves to learn, read, and draw. She loves her family and tries to prove that she can be depended upon.

Madeline
-Ludwig Bemelmans 
Madeline

Though Madeline is the smallest of the 12 girls in her story, she is the bravest. She is independent and isn’t afraid to take on injustice when she sees it. Her spunky nature keeps her elders on their toes, but everyone has a soft spot in their heart for this adventurous young woman.

She creates a good life for herself wherever she ends up.




Sara Crewe
-Frances Hodgson Burnett 
A Little Princess 

Sara is the picture of resilience. No matter how grim things get, her hopeful heart reminds her that she will get through the difficulties and be okay. She is smart, she is generous, she is kind, and she is a champion for others. She is a natural giver. She gives of her material possessions, yes, but even more, she gives of her heart. She is a storyteller, and she creates a better world for herself and those around her through the stories she tells.

Beatrice “Tris” Prior

Veronica Roth

Divergent

Tris is smart, determined, and quick.  She thrives on challenges and works to control her fears. She resists being labeled – she makes her own decisions rather than letting others tell her who she must become.  She wants to embody the strength and bravery that Dauntless is supposed to encourage, and to become the full person she knows she can be as she rises to the challenges posed by her world.

Fern Arable

E.B. White

Charlotte's Web

Fern is determined, soft-hearted, and has a keen sense of fairness. She has compassion for animals and treats Wilbur with love and kindness. She is willing to stand up for the causes she believes in. Her tender-hearted nature saves the day for runty Wilbur, and she is a champion for the small and under-appreciated.

Matilda Wormwood

Roald Dahl

Matilda

Matilda is self-sufficient, intelligent, and loves books. She is patient and thoughtful, and hungers for knowledge.  Her love of learning is vast and the library is one of her favorite places in the world.  She rises above her circumstances and works hard to learn as much about the world as she can. She learns early on that knowledge is power and that it is a wonderful thing to have the world open up to you through books.

Heidi

Johanna Spyri

Heidi

Heidi is smart, kind, cheerful, and has a grateful heart. She loves her grandfather and the other people who live on the mountainside, and she is a thoughtful, generous friend. She is kind to the elderly and happy to share all she has and is with the people around her. She loves animals and treats all creatures with respect and kindness. Her sweetness melts even the hardest hearts.

She has great time-management skills and her knowledge, wisdom, and cleverness saves her life and those of her friends many times.





Princess Elizabeth
-Robert Munsch
The Paperbag Princess


Princess Elizabeth is brave, resourceful, smart, and resilient.  When her prince is carried off by a dragon, she has no problem setting off to rescue him.  She makes use of the resources available to her, and outsmarts the dragon. She’s happy to have a prince by her side, but he’d better realize that she’s not a damsel in distress. She knows her own mind and isn’t going to let someone else’s opinion of her looks get her down.

Mary Lennox

-Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden

 Through the magic of the garden, and by finding people to care for who care for her, Mary blossoms into a determined, caring girl. Like the plants she cares for and brings back to life, Mary helps her cousin, Colin, to gain strength in both body and mind. Physical exercise, hard work, and a bit of love and magic help Mary to grow into the strong woman she had the potential to be.

Alice

-Lewis Carroll

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice is curious, imaginative, practical, and courteous to everyone. She finds delight even in the midst of turmoil and strange events and she is very well-spoken for someone her age.  She also is willing to try again, even when she fails the first, second, or even third time.
