Oh, my there are so many! I was and still am inspired by Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cakes in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. They were the youngest of a bunch of underprivileged youths in a "gang" of Greasers growing up on the wrong side of the track. I think I connected to them, because I wanted to become a teacher and help kids like them find their voices in society! : )

Since Atticus Finch has already been mentioned, I'll say Guy Montag ("Fahrenheit 451") and Ralph from "Lord of the Flies." Montag's curiosity and challenge to The System at great personal risk is inspiring as is Ralph's staying true to his beliefs under incredible pressure. He could have gone along with the crowd, but he didn't.

Atticus Finch from Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." I read the book when I was in 8th grade and, like a lot of students, read it and did the work because I had to. I reread the book about 10 years later and was amazed by how much I had been inspired by Atticus. Lessons about ethics that I thought I'd picked up along the way were often directly from him.

Jane Eyre. She was so strong and she really stood for what she believed in. She never let anyone run over her even though she lived in a time period where women and poor people were viewed as the lower person.

Sam Hamilton in Steinbeck's East of Eden. He loved life so much. He never wanted a day to be over because there was so much to do. Not a moment of life was wasted on him.
