I have a research paper to write 8-10 pages in length on the comparison of a literary character (like.. Harry Potter) and somebody significant in the world (George Bush). They have to share alot of the same qualitys and must be very detailed characters (writing 8-10 pages worth) and people and I'm all out of ideas, so I'd appreciate some good ones.

itd be helpful to list books youve read, so that people know what you could compare people to.

George Bush has fucked up the USA. I'm sorry. For those of you Bush supporters, I don't think you can find any evidence to support what he has done. But Harry Potter on the other hand, saved his entire world. You can't compare the 2. They are just too far opposite.

Pfftt... that's why I said Cornelius Fudge. He fucked up shit baaaaddddddd. He could have prevented quite a bit, but just denied it. I'm sure there's a political figure who did the same.

I would also say Voldemort and Hitler, look at the story; Voldemort wanted "pure" blood, Hitler also wanted "pure" blood.
