Character Analysis: Green Goblin

“We are who we choose to be.” -Green Goblin

I chose the quote “We are who we choose to be.” which was stated by the Green Goblin in the movie Spiderman. It is important to live by this quote because you can’t let other people tell you who you are going to be. People need to b who they want to be. It is only your decision, not anyone else's. Here are a few people who i think live by this quote.

The first person that lives by this quote is Bruce Jenner. He chose to become Caitlyn Jenner. She knew people wouldn’t approve of her decisions but the choice was up to her. Research showed, Jenner was uncomfortable being a man (The Full Story). No one knew about Jenner wanting to become a woman. He kept his feelings about being a woman hidden.

Bruce would only showed his womanly side when he was alone. Another source stated that in high school, Jenner secretly wore pantyhose and women's panties underneath his athletic uniforms. He wanted to feel the sensation of his womanly side (Caitlyn Jenner American). He was slowly transitioning into a woman even though nobody knew. The thought of what other people would think about him made him stop transitioning (The Full Story). In the end he didn't care what others would think about him. He transitioned into a woman for himself, not for the attention of others. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that he fully transitioned into Caitlyn.

Another person who lives by this quote is Miley Cyrus. Miley knew from the start that she wanted to be different. In an interview she once stated “I don’t want to blend in with everyone” (Cyrus). She started becoming who she wanted when she was younger. A source stated that in may of 2008, she legally changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus(Cyrus,Miley). This was the first step of her transition to follow her dreams. Even though Miley got the role of Hannah Montana, she wasn’t completely satisfied (Miley Cyrus 1992-). A final source said that Miley wanted to show off her own music to (Miley Cyrus 1992-). Everyone already knew Hannah, and Miley Stewart, but she wanted people to know her as Miley Cyrus to. As for Miley today, she is still becoming who she wants to be.

The last person who i believes lives by this quote is Jennifer McKernon.

Jennifer has always wanted to b a nurse. Jennifer stated that she chose to be someone who cares for and supports others. She said that everyone deserves to have someone to look out for them (Mckernon). She has been studying hard to become a nurse to help more people. She is still a very supporting mother as well. There were many people supporting her decision. The main person supporting her was her mother. Jennifer stated the her mom was always there for her. She even helped her get into school for the nursing (Mckernon). Jennifer also encourages others to become who they want to be. “Advice that i would give to someone who is choosing to live by this quote, would be to stay strong” (Mckernon). As of now she is supporting her five children and their decisions to become who they are.

Other people who i think live by this quote would be gay citizens. Many children in schools who are gay are being bullied. Adults are also being criticized for choosing to be with same sex. Those people don’t change how they are just because people tell them it’s a sin. Or because people criticize them everyday. Being gay isn’t really a choice, people can’t help who they find attractive whether it be same sex or opposite sex.

As you can see, many people live by this quote. Don't let go of who you want to be just because someone else doesn't approve. How you live your life is not up to anyone but yourself. All that matters is that you are happy, because you’re going to be the one who is living your life. Be who you choose to

be!
