Kate Winslet
by Alex Andy Phuong
On one Labor Day afternoon, while driving down
a Revolutionary
Road, a simple, all-American
girl named Kate Winslet was searching for
something to do for her summer vacation. After
driving for several hours, she saw a billboard
with the headline, “TITANIC SAILS ONCE MORE!”
She hesitantly resisted the urge to buy tickets
for a summer cruise because of her fear of
drowning. After stopping by Laguna Beach,
she went into a library to check out a copy of
her favorite novel, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Kate
often identified with Marianne Dashwood because
of their romantic sensibilities. She also enjoyed
Shakespeare, and her favorite fictional character
from the Bard was Ophelia from Hamlet. After returning home from the
library, she became not just A reader, but The Reader. As she read a book about Steve Jobs, she pondered what life would be
like if she were to have Little Children. She also feared Carnage because she wants to live
happily ever after rather than suffer a miserable
demise (which could have happened if she boarded
that Titanic replica). As night began to present
itself, she went to bed while letting her mind
expand with the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Curiously, this simple young
woman is still nothing like the famous British
actress because the Hollywood legend has green
eyes while Kate’s Irises were hazel.
