In my book Let Me Off At The Top! The narrator Ron Burgundy in my opinion is very likable. In this book he does fit the argument of Claire Messud, by having a likable narrator, and this book is not literary at all. The book and the narrator do have a connection, because it is a memoir by Ron Burgundy, and the narrator is Run Burgundy. Also it is fictional and sadly Ron Burgundy is a fictitious character. Even though Ron Burgundy is a fake icon the way he talks in this story, and the way he presents himself makes the reader want to believe that Ron Burgundy is a real person.  In the book there is only one antagonist, and that is Ron Burgundy’s neighbor who stole his leaf blower. The protagonist is obviously Ron Burgundy himself. There aren’t really any other books or movies that have a similar protagonist antagonist relationship, because as of right now no one knows why the neighbor is keeping the leaf blower. Ron Burgundy just thinks that he is being a bad neighbor, but in my opinion I think that the leaf blower is really the neighbors’ and Ron Burgundy just thought it was his. Through the book there are mini antagonists in Ron Burgundy’s stories that don’t really have any effect on the book, they are just people that Ron doesn’t like, but he portrays them as the antagonist. Some of these “antagonists” are a group of Jackalopes, dinosaurs, the Incas, some Mexicans, and even in one story his own wife is the antagonist.
