Character Analysis

The character I chose to analyze is DJ Tanner from the television show Full House. During the show, she attended Fraiser Street Elementary, and as the show went on, she attended Van Atta Junior High school, and then later Bayview high school. During her times at school, she was always a good student. She would always do her homework, and do her best to get the best possible grades that she could get. She had a close group of friends that lived around her, and also hung around at school. During her years during the show, she was very close wither family, as were her friends. They lived in San Diego in a 3 story house.


During school, DJ would do her best to get all her work done, as well as keep her friends on the right track as well. She was a very bright girl, and during the show she was always taught a lesson by her father one way or another. She handles tough situations with ease, and generally got mad at her father a lot of the time, but was very forgiving towards him at the end, because she then realized the lessons he was trying to teach her. She is quick to apologize, and was a good friend to everyone that came in her path.


If DJ was a student in my class, personally she would be a friend that I could go to for advice, as well as a tutor. She was very bright, and eventually after high school got accepted to U.C. Berkley. She was a great role model to everyone around her, and was a personal role model to myself as I watched this show. I watched Full House when I was in middle school and high school, and I loved how relatable the show was. There were real life situations always ending up in a lesson which is what I loved. The way DJ was able to handle those situations, made it relatable and someone I wanted myself to be.


As far as technology goes, I know that sometimes DJ had to study a lot, and helped a lot of her friends study. There are many tools now a days that gives you online flashcards, as well as games on my favorite website Quizlet that would have been very useful to her during this time.


DJ's Wikipedia website!
This is also another website, that tells you a lot about DJ Tanner from Full House!

This is a video of Dj at school. In this scene from episode 2 of Season 3, Back to School Blues, DJ Tanner is in junior high, and she learns the hard way that girls can be so mean to each other sometimes when she is teased in the lunchroom by Colleen and her gang, a clique of mean girls. (I felt bad for her when I saw this scene for the first time.)
