Question : The Character you admire the most. (John Taylor)
                Based on the novel  “How I Met Myself” written by David A. Hill, the person I admire the most is John Taylor.
He is a computer programmer in England and he was sent to Budapest to teach programming. He met Andrea in a language school. They fell in love and got married and had a baby girl named Kati Taylor. He is very persistence because no matter bad the situation became he never stopped looking for information on his doppelganger. He even went to the number 7 Felka Utca to look for answer about his mysterious doppelganger. Besides that, he is also a determined person. After analyzing the situation, he realized his doppelganger appeared for an important reason, so he was determined to find out. He went to the Budapest City Library to find out what had happened on the 18th of January. Furthermore, he has a strong will-power when he wants to find out the reason. Even though his search made his life difficult and strained his relationship with his wife, he did not give up and kept pursuing the subject. He went to the Public Record Office without Andrea’s permission to find out the dates of his doppelganger’s birth and death. For the conclusion, the reason why I admire John Taylor the most is because of his good personality traits. Finally he understands that the doppelganger wants to save him and his family.

Question : The Character you admire the most. (John Taylor)
                Based on the novel ‘How I Met Myself’ by David A. Hill, the character that I admire the most is John Taylor. He is a persistent person. He never stopped looking for further information about his doppelganger no matter how bad the situation is even when Andrea don’t want to help him anymore. Furthermore, John Taylor is a determined person. He realized that his doppelganger appeared for an important reason, so he made a research about his nightmare recurrence by searching for the information in the library and questioning Mrs. Fischer at 7 Felka Utca. Lastly, I admire John Taylor because of his strong will power. Eventhough his search made his life difficult and miserable, with a strained relationship with his wife, he never give up. John always came home late at night and Andrea has some negative thoughts on his husband which made their relationship strained, but he kept pursing the subject and never gave up. Because of his good personality traits, he finally understands that the doppelganger wants to save him and his family. Based on the reasons above, John’s good traits made me admire him the most.

Question : The Character you admire the most. (John Taylor)
                Based on the novel How I Met Myself, written by David A. Hill the character I admire the most is John Taylor. He is a 34 years old computer programmer Englishman. He moved to Hungarian to lead a young Hungarian team in an important new place of work. While staying there, He met Andres, his Hungarian language teacher and fell in love with her and after eighteen months they got married. They named their first-born Kati. The reason why I like John Taylor is because of his first personality trait which is persistence. No matter how bad the situation became, he never stopped looking for the information on his doppelganger. He stayed late at the library sacrificing his time with his family. The second trait is outstanding determination which inspire me. He realized that his doppelganger appeared for a important reason, so he was determined to find out the shadow behind the curtain. He took all the trouble to do some research by interviewing some people such as Mrs. Fischer at 7 Felka Utca. Another trait that is valuable in John Taylor is his strong will power. Even though his search made his life difficult and strained his relationship with his wife, he did not give up and kept pursuing the subject. His wife Andrea was suspicious of John’s behavior such as coming home late, so she made a conclusion of John assuming he was seeing someone else. Because of his good personality traits, he finally understands that the doppelganger wants to save him and his family.
