Characters – Julie

Julie is a highly intelligent woman. She is well read and has opinions on many topics of discussion. She is meticulous in her thinking, which at times makes it difficult for her to accept other people’s points of view.
She is also very active. Not active in the sense that she does lots of athletic things. Active in that she always has to move.
Rarely could she sit working on her writings for more than 15 minutes without having to get up and walk around the room.  And she didn’t just walk.
On nice days you would see her walking back and forth outside talking to the world. Passers by would stop and say, “What is that woman doing?”
It was her way to loosen up, her way to think, to look at different sides of issues in formulating her opinions, which once set, were firm.
Julie rarely took advice. She didn’t need it. Everything she needed to know she could work out herself.
How she survived her school years, having to sit at desks for long hours and cooperate with others is hard to understand. But she did and many looked up to her.

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!

  1. Guess Who? says:

    The 2 characteristics of Julie do not seem to go together. The first trait demonstarates insecurity and an unwillingness to trust others. The second trait looks like ADHD with some additional neurological components. similar to alzheimer patients who also have to walk all the time.

    Do all characteristics of individuals have to blend always. Are there times when different characteristics might come out to fit the occasion without them appearing schizophrenic? If you were reading/writing a novel in what type of plot would a character like Julie appear?
