Entry 4: Can I Get a Round of Applause for Ms. Heavenly Faith Simms?!

In my opinion, Heavenly Faith Simms (H.F.) is undoubtedlythe most awesome and dynamic character that has entered the young adult world of literature! In Finding H.F., Julia Watts' female protagonist is a very realistic and relatable character—someone who possess the characteristics of an individual that we all know or seem to have met. She is a very comical but strong-willed, wise and out-spoken protagonist. H.F. is a teenage girl who is going through her teen years very unsure and often times mystified—questioning the world around her and questioning love, similar to the way many of us did when we were teenagers. I could often relate to her character because I have often been in predicaments and situations where I felt as if I did not belong and as if I were an outsider to everyone around me—where I was the misfit. Thus, reading about H.F. and her life, as she appealingly reencountered the events of her life and shared her most inner thoughts, I often asked myself, “Where can I find myself an H.F.?” “Where can I find an individual like her?” I asked this because she is a very loving, loyal and witty character who seems to be anything less than an amazing confidant and friend. It is beacuse of these personalities traits and qualities that I loved the character of Heavenly Faith Simms and effortlessly became engrossed in her world.
