If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

If I could step into the shoes of any character from a book or film, I’d choose one with the power to travel through timespecifically, the time traveler from H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine. Imagine the possibilities: leaping across centuries, rubbing shoulders with history’s greatest minds, or watching pivotal moments unfold that shaped our world.

With a flick of a lever, I’d visit the brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci sketching in Renaissance Italy, stand amidst the crowd as the Declaration of Independence is signed, or even gaze into the distant future to see where humanity’s journey leads. It wouldn’t just be a trip through timeit’d be a front-row seat to the raw, unfiltered story of us.

The experience would be nothing short of eye-opening. History books tell us what happened, but to see itto hear the voices, feel the tension, and witness the chaos or triumph firsthandwould bring a whole new depth to understanding our past and, maybe, our future too.
