Which character are you?

Post by Charlyt »

Which of the four main characters can you relate to the most when you are in your group of friends? Sam, Daniel, Alec, or the main protagonist?
For me, I'm definitely not Daniel because I never organize any trips myself and let others do it instead, but I think I'm more like Sam.

As much as I hate to say it, I think I'm more like the main protagonist! I'm not at all athletic and I seem to be the one that always needs help! :D

I wanna say I’m most similar to Daniel because I love organizing mission trips with my church, and also planning vacations with my family. There’s usually not as much awkwardness and hilarity on our trips as those that are in Man Mission, but I overall I still feel most like Daniel. His mannerisms seem oddly familiar!

Probably Daniel as I am the one to organize trips and plan itineraries. But, given that I am also like the main protagonist in that I am not athletic in the least, I would never plan trips like these.

I'm probably most similar to Sam's wife (Beth?). LOL Amongst the four men, though, it would be a toss up between Eytan and Daniel. I'd definitely be the one to get hurt on such trips, but I'd also be involved with planning them. Can't say that I'd plan that KIND of trip, though! LOL (See my predilection for getting hurt on said trips!)

Definitely Daniel! I love organizing charity events and keeping everyone in check. Just like Daniel, I like a consistent flow of things which makes me a perfectionist(albeit borderline.)
For sure, I am not the protagonist. I have trouble asking for help or looking like I need any.
Who can relate?

Depends on the day really. Somedays, I am the protagonist. I always look like I need help. Sometimes, I look like I am on the verge of losing it. On the good days, I am Daniel: organizing everything and putting everyone in check. Well, honestly, today I don't feel like Daniel.

For me it’s definitely a toss between Daniel and the main protagonist. I’m definitely the planner and facilitate most the trips my family or church group go on but at the same time I’m not athletic at all. I would likely be the first person injured on a more extreme trip haha.

Undoubtedly I am Daniel, I like coming up with ideas of great trips and thereafter planning them even though sometimes I get quite disappointed with the turn out and often feel discouraged.

I think I am most like Daniel. I am very family-oriented, level-headed (most days), and organized. I have only ever planned one trip, and it turned out amazing! But, I organize other things every single day such as our family budget, grocery lists, logistics of getting the kids out of the house (easier said than done), etc. Daniel was also very honest. He was not cool with the protagonist's infidelities towards his wife. He remained friends with him after, but he was adamant that he was not sympathetic. When he had his own marital issues, he buckled down and did what was needed to save his family. I have had to address issues in my relationship a few times, and I am not interested in just giving up. I believe that Daniel holds the secret to a life-long marriage. I like to believe that I could obtain that secret from reading about his victories.

I identified with Sam most. He is the initiator. I like rolling out unusual ideas to see how I can make it happen. Sam was also the problem-solver. I fancy myself in that role - accidentally simetimes.
