Hi, everyone! This is my first post on this forum, so I hope you all enjoy it!
While I didn't like Abby when I first started reading The BSC, as I've gotten older, I actually like her quite a bit. However, has anyone else noticed that she's kind of a combination of all the sitters? Like, of course she's an original character also, and she doesn't necessarily act like any of the other seven, but there are still some similarities between her and the others.
Like Kristy she's athletic andbossy a leader; Like Mary Anne one of her parents has passed away; (Also like Kristy and Mary Anne she has dark hair and dark eyes, but that's an easier similarity to have.) Like Claudia she has a different brand of creativity than the rest of the club (This one's a little bit of a stretch, but some of the things that Abby likes is considered a bit "Out there" by the girls, somewhat similar to Claudia). Like Stacey she's from New York state and has medical issues (Stacey's diabetes and Abby's extreme allergies and asthma). Like Dawn she is an outsider from Stoneybrook (Also like Stacey) and could be considered an ~individual~ (Also a bit of a stretch, but you get the idea.) Like Mallory she has wild hair and glasses (She complains about her hair often, like Mallory, but I don't think I've come across Abby bemoaning her glasses yet). And like Jessi she is committed to her sport and is determined to be the best and maybe even pursue it into adulthood (Jessi's ballet, Abby's soccer).
I don't know if this was intentional by the authors, or if it just happened to be a coincidence. But, does anyone else see the parallels, or do you guys think I'm just looking to far into things?
Can't wait to see what you think!
