Top Ten Characters I Would Want With Me On A Deserted Island

It's time for Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and The Bookish! 

This week's theme:  Top Ten Characters I Would Want With Me On A Deserted Island

I wasn't able to come up with ten for this one, so this is a Top Six.

1. Ford Perfect from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:  If Ford Perfect can get off Earth before it blows up, I am pretty sure he can get me off a deserted island! 



2. Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird:  With no order or law, we will need someone with integrity to guide us.  I can think of no one better suited for the job.


3. Edmond Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo: Let's face it, he's an expert at getting of islands! 


4. Ralph from The Lord of the Flies:  Ralph knows that there are certain tasks that must always be tended to, like trying to be rescued!  


5. Percy Jackson from The Lightning Thief:  He's got some pull with the God of the sea. 


6. The Cat in the Hat from The Cat in the Hat:  He's got everything in that hat!  I bet he's got a boat!

    Ah, I love that you included Edmond Dantes! ^__^ I considered him myself, but I haven't actually read The Count of Monte Cristo yet...

    Great list - I love how varied your companions would be!

      Thanks! If you are ready for a challenge, I highly recommend The Count of Monte Cristo. That book took to over a year to finish but was so worth it!

    Clearly your education in the classics is lacking if you didn't even consider ROBINSON CRUSOE. ;))

      I thought about him, but I hadn't read the book, and then I couldn't remember his little buddy's name, and I thought (based on the TV show that was cancelled) that his little buddy might have been a better choice. I really need to read that book. Luckily, its #47 on my classic club list!
