What Character would you be if the stand happened

[K4driver]

well, I would be Larry Underwood, minus the addictions. i get told quite a few times by people who have read it, i remind them of Larry. Not sure if they mean pre-Change of soul Larry or Post-change of soul Larry. Well I do have a pretty bad temper, play guitar and am trying to run from some demons.

[BlackThorn]

What was that lesbian chick that went undercover? All special forces and ****...

Well, I'm no lesbian, although I like it when she wears lipstick nonetheless, but I'd totally have the balls to imagine Flagg might not notice I was there, and I could save my side of the chessboard by doing my part like that. I'm a hands on kinda guy too, so I'd totally find a higher up on the chain and 'click' with her, for the good of the team. I sure wouldn't be a lower chess piece. Maybe a pawn that was really sneaky...

I'd face off with Flagg too. I'd have nothing better to do really. I'd have some hidden deep programed death move though, that I didn't even know I had programed, that was set to go off when I was in his presence, or when somebody says a phrase he just happens to say to me. Fight fire with fire right bitches?

Other than that, I wouldn't be written in a whole lot. I'd do my own thing that never made the camera, till it was past important.

[themadone06]

I think I would be Stu just because he was a small town guy and I am too. Plus he was my favorite character and I felt like I related to him.

[Raq]

As it goes for character I think Larry and Nick are the closest to me..however Flagg isn't without a charm ;)
I would definitly NOT BE Harold

[Checkman]

Well in all reality I would probably be one of the many dead people. But assuming I lived I would probably just be one of the many survivors who quietly joined the other survivors in the Free Zone. Nobody really outstanding. I would probably hook up with another survivor (female type) and eventually start a family. I don't think I would leave the Free Zone after Flagg was stopped though. In that situation your best hope for survival would be with the group. Not striking out on your own like Fran and Stu do. Big mistake. But I'm not the Pioneer type either.

[THISisWHEREiMAKEmySTAND]

I think I would be Dana Jurgen's, at least I hope I could be that brave and awesome... She's one of my favs... If not her than I would be Glen, with a little gender adjustment..hehe, and I agree Check man, I wouldn't have struck out on my own either like Stu & Fran

[Jake Featherston]

I'd be one of the nameless millions who died at the beginning.

[Checkman]

I'd be one of the nameless millions who died at the beginning.

Sure I have to agree.I put myself in the same boat with you, but what fun is that?

[Raq]

Larry or Nick..both fit into my ways of acting (however different they are)

[michal]

Fran of course. Not just because she is one of the strongest female characters but more because I often feel that notorious "I Want Line" between my eyebrows, and am thankful that it's there.

[The Outsider]

Well, if I didn't die, since that would be just my luck, and I wasn't just some nameless nobody, I'd have to go with Nick, Stu, or (ha ha) Glen. Nick because I'm more of the quiet, planning guy, and that part about the making lists as stress, and him always doodling, and just his personality is me. Stu, because I'm from East Texas, I'm a pretty humble type of dude, ya know Stu is kind of plain and all, and that's me. And Glen because, well, i like to think of myself as an intellectual type, and I am quite interested in sociology.

[thewordisnineteen]

I'd be Ralph Brentner. Wait... did he survive the whole book? Better stick on the safe side. Call me Stu.

[gniknehpets]

Do you guys think maybe we all have a bit of every character in this book lurking in us and that's why we related to this book so well? I hope I have some of the best traits, but, I'm afraid I may have some of the worst, too...

[DancingCorpse]

I think the best stories told, reflect and touch upon at least one part of the reader, for better or worse, that's the true heart of good, honest literature, to provoke introspection. I don't know if that makes sense.

So i think that is why so many of us are really into this novel.

[Pucker]

If 999 of every thousand people were dead and I was still walking around, I have a sneaking suspicion I might be the Monster Shouter.

[GNTLGNT]

I would like to be Tom Cullen-Laws yes!, since I'm more than a little addle-pated me ownself, but if I were cast-I'd probably get stuck being "The Monster Shouter", since I'm a couple of ants short of a picnic...:wink2:

[TPG555]

Glen. I relate to him more than any other character.

[Doc Wilson]

Larry is the one I identify with, his journey and his "stand" is symbolic of my life. Thats the reason The Stand is my favorite novel.

[no bounce no play]

I think I'd like to be Julie Lawry. She was a bit whacko but she was a survivalist and she did have that thing with Nick :wink2:

[Mookie]

I'd like to be Mother Abigail, since she was the old wise one.

[xkittyx]

I would probably end up being one of the women that was in the group with the mean guys, y'know the ones that had all the women and they were abusing them? Just 'cause I would've been just wandering around and probably get taken 'cause I usually am friendly with people, so they' would've abducted me... But if I had my choice, I'd be myself, and I'd pick a nice house, and venture out everyday for supplies, and plant a garden, and walk into the bookstore and take whatever books I wanted... :laugh:

[Kojakistheman]

hahahahahahahahahah that is classic. I might be whoever ended up stickin the monster shouter.

[zarlock4]

i would be Flagg because he has all the power.

[Pucker]

i would be Flagg because he has all the power.

Does he?

[Checkman]

Does he?

Darn you beat me to it.

[zarlock4]

some what, god has all the power and god could totally own flagg, flagg is just cool

[roblov89]

ha i would probably Irma Fayette, just because after all the deaths, she gets the paranoia and thinks anyone just might walk in and get her, she kills her self just too keep it from happening, i possibly would not think everyone was out to get me nor off my self in the process (but who's to know till your really in that situation) but i would be paranoid all alone and i would not venture out on my own, i would be scared a dead body would get up and zombie-fy me :D

[Mobe1969]

As much as I love the book, I wouldn't be any of them. Seriously, nothing could compel me to align with anyone. I'd be the guy sitting back at home alone, happy with my DVDs and books, just making sure I could scrounge enough food, and keep a generator going when I needed it (or rigging solar panels)

[aeroplane]

I would offer to be Len Creighton. Somebody has to take the reins and keep the "holding operation" in effect. ;)

[Dull Dull Boy]

Everybody wants to be Stu. But in reality for me its Larry, his story is the one I come back to. But traces of Glen Also,

[Checkman]

I feel the same way. But according to some we wouldn't get a choice. If we choose not to align and Flagg was the winner he would have his people hunt down those who choose to be neutral. I guess the Boulder folks would leave the neutrals alone - I guess. But I've been told that we would be compelled to make a choice. Sure Free Will and all that jazz sort of plays into it, but with a twist. We would be free to make a choice, but a choice we would make to go with either Side A or Side B. No Side C. Yikes. :wow:

I agree with you. I'd just ignore the dreams and enjoy life. However, if Flagg can "find" fellas like Lloyd just sitting around in a cell at a seemingly random jail, then I am sure he can find some random dude in the middle of an Oklahoma trailer park (or one in Montana) quietly running a generator to watch his old pro wrestling tapes on a vcr!

[catnoel]

Kojack!!!!! He is way cool!!!
