Topanga Lawrence Character Analysis: 'Boy Meets World'
Personality Analysis
8 October 2011 Topanga Lawrence Personality Analysis
In the show Boy Meets World one of the characters that is my favorite and seems to have one of the best personalities is Topanga Lawrence. Boy Meets World was a comedy-drama series that shows the life of the main character Cory Matthews. It chronicles the events and life lessons Cory, his family, and friends experience. The show takes place in suburban Philadelphia, starting off with young Cory Matthews and his friends in Middle School. His best friend, Shawn Hunter is something like his partner in crime, they share every experience together and treat each other like brothers.

Through out the series we learn about life lessons through the experiences the characters share with each other and their families. The three main characters are of the show are Cory, Shawn, and Topanga. All three of them grow to be friends but before that Cory and Shawn wanted nothing to do with Topanga. When the characters where in their middle school years Topanga to them was an outcast, eccentric, and strange girl. Of course the boys were in middle school and were not interested in girls but even when they became interested they still thought that Topanga was one girl they could never even relate to. Topanga as a young girl was an eccentric character, she often was a happy girl and very much about peace and serenity. She was known as the eccentric hippie with interests in the supernatural phenomena. She would often share the strangest facts and share her eccentric behavior to her peers often, which made them think that she was one crazy hippie. As she grows up we see a change in Topanga. She learns to fit in a little more with other girls and starts friendships with guys. She becomes very mature at a pretty young age and seems to be more calm and collected, no longer showing her eccentric, hippie

    As the story continues on into the actual recollection, they morals of the characters become clear, it demonstrates how they just want to cause trouble in any way that they can just to fill the part as “bad”. It seems that they have almost developed how they act based on movies, they listened to rock and roll, smoked, did drugs, drank, and hung out with girls at the place where all “the cool kids were”, Greasy Lake. but it quickly becomes clear that they are just not a fit for the role.…

    When comparing the two characters in the short stories made me think of a quote, I heard growing up as a kid. “Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath.” Now reading these two stories the truth of that quote rings true. As teenagers we were invisible to life and the consequences of those decisions. I made many mistakes, as teenagers that, I now realize were foolish and not intelligent. Life lessons are tough as Sammy and Collie both discovered.…

    Later on in the show, the complexity of the scenarios in which the characters are placed in become more in depth but also very recognizeable to us as people going about our daily lives. We see first hand how our main character deals with these new relationships, and the widely different life styles that all the characters he lives with have. In a way, this is very similar to my own experience of getting my first job, I learned and dealt with many different individuals than myself and worked with a large variety of different individuals all of which were much different than…
