This week you'll write your response to the following: Who is your favorite character in the story so far? Why do you like this character? Who do they remind you of in real life? Choose one quote or passage from the book that describes why you like your character and include it in your answer.
example: I am currently reading Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. I love the character of Julius Caesar because he is strong and when I read his lines I always feel like he is in total control. It's easy for me to picture Caesar ruling over the vast empire that was the Roman empire. My favortie quote from this passage is, "Danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous than he; We are two lions littered in one day, and I the elder and more terrible. (Julius Caesar, Act II, Scene II)

ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading THE RESCUE by Nicolas Edwars and almost fineshed.Yay! My favorite charecter is always going to be Emily. She can talk to Zack, the dog, with pictures. And Zack can talk to Emily with pictures. It is such a FANTABULUS canection that I now,freakily enough, have with my dead cat.
ReplyDeleteI am reading six innings and i like the character sam because he gets me hooked in to the story. It is hard to stop reading because you are in the story and think that it is really happening. Sam reminds me of Milo Hamilton from the Astros because they are announcers.

ReplyDeleteHi I am Max Wolff and I am reading Percy Jackson:Battle of the Labyrinth.My favorite character is (obviously)Percy Jackson.I like Percy Jackson because he is only 16 and has to choose the choice of destroying Olympus or saving it
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. This book is about Gregor, a boy, who follows his 2 year old little sister into a secret shaft in their laundry machine. He then figures out his role in the Underland and how he can get back home. My favorite character so far is Boots, his little sister, because she is 2 and isn't afraid of anything. She reminds me of my 2 year old cousin because he is always looking for something fun and is very curious. My favorite quote is: "Geego go whee!" because Gregor is in the shaft and is panicing because he is afraid he and Boots will die from the fall.
ReplyDeletethe book i am reading is FISH by Gregory Mone. my favorite character is Nora. she is the cook on the pirate ship. she appreciates him because Fish (the main character) accually said please when asking for dinner. Nora even shows Fish her only supply of GOOD food (not gruel or rock hard,chip-your-teeth bread0. although Nora doesn't remind me of any one.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days. My favorite character is Rowley because he knows more about partnership and loyalty than Greg doesin this story. Rowley remindsme of my church friend,Rebecca because sometimes Rebecca can be annoying, but she can also be fair,loyal and kind, just like Rowley.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading BELLA AT MIDNIGHT and my favorite charecter is Bella because if you saw a little girl shaking a tree with all her might you'd ask why she was shaking a tree. This happenend and Bella's answer is "I'm making wind." Who wouldn't like that?!
ReplyDeleteIn my story Nancy Drew and her friends are going to Farmer Fran's Baryard Buddies to celebrate Valentine's Day! George got a stuffed cow at the farm and someone took it from her. She called Nancy and told very saddly mumbling that someone had stolen [took] her stuffed cow with a baseball cap and unirform! George ran after the a cow that looked just like hers and finally caught up to it but the girl said that she also had a cow with a baseball cap and uniforms and she lost her's too. Nancy said that there were alot of other animals to choose from but no one wanted. But then... when Geoge and Nancy were taking, the girl ran off with the cow. It took them a couple of seconds before they can catch her. Well not her the cow. George leeped in the air and crabbed the cow but landed in a stack of soft pink stuffed pig samples for sale that a took a lady a long time for her to make it. They offered to help put the pigs back together and she said yes. Nancy and George had to do it all by themselves.
ReplyDeletein the book FISH my favorite character Nate. He is the youngest crew member on the pirate ship. Nate is teaching Fish (the main character) how to not-fight by not stabbing and stuff but dodging.
ReplyDeleteI am Laura. My favorite character in the book By the Shores of Silver Lake is Laura. She reminds me of my reuneun friend Natalie. Natalie is more like Mary ( Laura's sister). That is because Mary and Natalie are the kind that is good , listen to their parents, and are not rough. Laura and I are the kind that like to run around and do things that are dangereus.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite charecter is Bella an independant young woman who will risk her life to save a friend in need, more likely be killed by his own brother.
