Undergraduate / "A Role Model in Fiction" (Common App essay) the influence of a fiction char. [15]

Hi Christina,

I think he meant Old Testament and New Testament.

By the way, you may want to check out the book The Dao of Dragon Ball. It discusses Goku and his relationship to historical figures such as Christ and Buddha Shakyamuni. I'm the author and I found this essay while doing further research for the book. I recommend it in your case because I've had a couple of people write in and say that they've been waiting for a Dragon Ball book like this for a long time as it reminds them of Goku's Christ-like actions. It's evident in your essay as well that you can see the similarities.

The book's site is at TheDaoOfDragonBall.

Free excerpts are available, such as A Super Man, which analyzes the relationships between Goku, Superman, Noah, and Jesus. You may find it a valuable (though now outdated) resource for writing your essay, and I'd be happy to discuss the subject with you further. I can be contacted through the site.

Wish you well.
