An eternal optimist, he always gives off the glow of the bright side of life. He is sweet (Probably because he loves honey so much) and he loves and cares about his friends. He also watches out for them. He helps people get through things.

He can also be sad and feel empathy. He understands and listens. Take for instance his interactions with Eeyore. Winnie cares about Eeyore and cheers him up. He also understands that sometimes Eeyore just needs to wallow in life's sadnesses.

All of these traits are traits of friends. I think that Winnie is very good at being nice and making friends, due to his personality. For me he symbolizes happiness, but he is also compassionate and empathetic. Two of the best things that he portrays are understanding and respect. An example of this is his interactions with Owl. Winnie knows that Owl is smart, and he respects that. He of course also has flaws, but they are minor and I am not talking about them right now.

Overall, I aspire to be like him in the ways that he treats others and in the ways that he is happy. I think that he is a great character that should be cherished and loved. I try to be like him in ways like I try to be nice and understanding to friends and the fact that I try to remain happy. I also try to be empathetic towards others, and to work towards understanding. He will always be the bear that makes me smile and laugh when mentioned. He will also always be one of my overall favorite characters (along with the rest of the occupants of the hundred acre woods).
