Lasting Impressions

We meet a lot of people in our lives and get introduced to many different personalities. But only some create a lasting impression on our mind. Like wise when we read a book or watch a movie we get involved with the characters …. But only a few are unforgettable.

There are a certain characters that can never die, like the little brown mouse- Jerry and the frustrated cat -Tom , Alice,Cinderella, Humpty Dumpty, James bond, Spiderman ,Superman, Harrypotter, Charles Chaplin, Dracula. etc..

One cannot miss watching Tom and Jerry fight. Tom tries to eat the little mouse but in vain. The plot centers around Tom's frustrated attempts to catch Jerry. But,Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's craftiness and cunning abilities, but sometimes because of Tom's own stupidity. Jerry also protects Tom's Prey such as ducks, canaries, or goldfish from being eaten. It's a silent cartoon with no dialogues but accompanied with music to bring out the mood and feeling of the characters. When we recall Jerry stuffing Tom's tail in a waffle iron, kicking him into a refrigerator, plugging his tail into an electric socket, it brings a smile on your face. Lately another gray little mouse foundy named Tuffy is another intersting character as he is constantly hungry. Cute !!

You must have heard of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in your bed time stories . She is a seven-year-old English girl with lots of imagination and is fond of showing off her knowledge. She is easily put off by abruptness and rudeness of others. She follows a rabbit and falls in to a whole and has fantastic adventures.

Its not easy to make some one laugh! But Charlie Chaplin is the one who brought laughter to millions worldwide. He is thought of by many as the greatest comedian of all time.He is considered to be one of the finest mimes and clowns ever caught on film and has greatly influenced performers in this field. Chaplin became one of the most famous actors as well as a notable director and musician in the early to mid Hollywood cinema era.The greatest part is that He directed and performed in his own films

Cinderella is the one we all know. Sweet, kind, naive, she remains forever lovable, but does suffer monstrously powerful fits of anger of her stepmother. The unforgettable incident is when Cinderella leaves her glass shoes behind. The Prince tried the slipper on all the maidens in the land. And we all know the rest. Many films, Books an songs were later created based in this concept.

The next character that comes on my mind is Humpty dumpty
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again.”
This is another cute character. A very creative character – an egg. The fact that is an egg is not stated in the rhyme. I was actually a riddle. But since it became popular it was no more a riddle but a rhyme for children. A short, clumsy person humpty dumpty had fall and irrrepairable damage.

Harry potter is a great commercial success of this century. The story is mostly set at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an academy for young wizards and witches. The success of the novels has made Rowling the highest-earning novelist in history.

Dracula is one of the most famous and a few centuries old vampire characters in literary history. Dracula is an Renowned novel written by Bram Stoker. Dracula possesses great powers .He can take forms of an animal, control the weather, and he is stronger than twenty men. However his power is limited.
