Blog for Week 10/14/15 - Marley & Me

Prompt: If you were a character in this book, who would you be? Why?

Marley & Me by John Grogan
throughout the whole book

     The book, Marley & Me, talks about how John and Jenny want to start a family but want to make sure they are ready for parenting. To test themselves they buy a dog. He is a very squirmy dog, most people would say he is disobedient but I would say he is just very excited about life. There is conflict about if they should keep the dog because of how his behavior is. Did this couple find the key to unlock their hearts to love this "bad dog"?

    If I was a character in Marley & Me I would be Marley because he is just so full of life. Marley is has a really upbeat personality and just loves everyone he meets. I really like people that have a positive personality because it gets me in a good mood as well. That is how Marley's personality is. Marley really likes to be around people instead of being with himself, that's kind of how I am. When Marley was a puppy he didn't want to sleep alone. He had to sleep with John. Sometimes I like to be alone but I don't like to feel alone. What I mean is that when I'm with someone I like to feel involved not ignored. Marley is like that too. Marley likes to be noticed. He understands that sometimes thats not possible but he doesn't go all rebellious. When Jenny has her first baby, she was worried that he would get jealous and become a rebel, but he didn't. It's like Marley knew what to do. He was very cautious near the baby. He wouldn't jump on him, bite him, or do anything to harm him. 

     I feel like the author made Marley's personality similar to a human. Marley has the personality of a positive upbeat person. He is just so carefree. I would really want to be Marley because I think that with a positive attitude you won't be stressed and worrisome. Many people could relate to Marley because he is basically a human just in a dog character.
