Character is what makes us who we are; it is what makes us different from one another. How we live, learn, act, and perceive, all play a role in who we were destined to become the people that we are today. A character I would like to speak about is from my favorite TV show on AMC: Maggie Rhee from “The Walking Dead.” This show is about more than merely “killing zombies.” It is about character development. It is about how each and individual character has come as far as they have; and everyone has a story. The introduction of Maggie’s character is during season 2 when Rick’s group runs into trouble in the woods, and they appear at her family’s farm. During this time, she is assisting her father in keeping Rick’s son alive. Throughout the aftermath while Carl (Rick’s son) is healing, we get to know a little more about the Greene family: they do not have experience in killing zombies. During a run, she and Glenn went to a pharmacy to retrieve medicine and other objects needed for the other survivors. She is nearly attacked, but Glenn saves her life. Soon after, she and Glenn begin to secretly hook up. One night Glenn waited for Maggie in her family’s barn, and he soon finds out that the Greene family has been keeping zombies in the barn.

Also, I have so many predictions about what is going to happen next in Maggie’s life. I predict that she and Leah are going to become best friends again because right at the end of this book Maggie goes up to Leah and says “Let’s just say our friendship means more to me than holding a grudge or living in the past” (Elkeles 303). To me this shows that everything is okay between them and that they just want to put it all in the past. Also, Leah will come out of her “goth” phase because she doesn’t feel so guilty anymore, which is what I think made her change her appearance so much. Second, I predict that Maggie is not going to go to Spain anymore.
