When a story is beloved it is most often driven by love of the characters, but the real question is why do readers love and relate to fictional beings. The types of characters that are most loved in fiction have roots in reality, and traits that make them more relatable to the reader.

As a high school student, it seems as though everything of significance lies in the future. My generation is old enough to be aware of the flaws, sufferings and inequalities of our world, but we are also still young enough to naively believe that overnight we can rid the world of its problems. While I look towards the future, I wish one thing for myself, my family and my generation: happiness. I have long imagined living in a utopian world.
