Intro to Esmeralda.

Every once in a while someone will say something that doesn't seem really profound, but after thinking about it for a while it ecomes a highly phllosophical thought.

Today was no different. I was visiting a small book related NDDP discussion group..(Online of course.) For anyone who has never visited/taken part inone of these discussion grous, well they're normally one sided and very against my favorite character from he book, who happens to be Esmeralda. Personjally I admire the character's innocence and hope. We need more of that in this world. One of the participants finally asked me, ''So, is Esmeralda like your role model or something?'

After thinking about it for a short while I finally had my answer. ''I have been Esmeralda four years in a row or Halloween. My favorite arts of the book have something to do with the character and my favorite song from the musical is one which the character sings. Any time life throws m some type of curve ball I try to remain as determined and hopeful as I can. I suppose you could say that Esmeralda is my role model.''

As you can probably guess, this person asked, ''Why?''
