Character Resemblance

Written By: Zehra Nasirali
Date: 30th January, 1998

 

Chancy and daring are just some of the attributes that a character from ‘Cue from Treason’ and myself have in common.  ‘Kit’ was a very sneaky little girl; to wander about England with a different identity and sex is something that even I have done a number of times for different reasons and I would do it again to protect myself if ever I am in any kind of danger.  Kit Kirkstone was the kind of person who wouldn’t take attitude from anyone, like her guardian and Sir Philip Morton; however, the exception of elders and respected people like the Queen, the Brownriggs and William Shakespeare applies.  Furthermore, timidity are far form our confident nature.  The fact that I have given many public speeches and have placed main roles in school plays and assignments, and also not forgetting the great role Kit was given in a play during the novel are just a few points that support this statement.  To stand up for your rights and express your own opinions is a difficult approach for many as it takes great courage and boldness, fortunately this is a common trait among us two; when Kit started directing the Desmond on how to act and on my side, a gutsy argument that I had with my forger principal to protect my beliefs, defends this common virtue.  Moreover, from what I understand from people, the charm, charisma, pleasantness and adventurousness that kit possess greatly relates to the resemblance of my portrayal.  Some of Kit’s mover, thoughts and acts indirectly emphasize on a specific temperament that makes up a considerable large amount of my identity, mischief and humor!  My mischief is always in a form of practical jokes where as for Ms. Kirkstone, switching identities all the time, stealing horses and scripts are her kind of mischief.  Overall, such are the common qualities that prevail from our personality.
