Tuesday- September 22, 2009

Fiction:
  • Answer the question from a main character's point of view: "So now that you've made it through all that you have, what's next for you? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? Why?"
  • Mad? You slam a door. Hurt? You cry or run away. Sad? You slump your shoulders. What you say and do communicates your mood and even your personality. The same is true for book characters. Find and discuss two character-revealing passages, and explain what each taught you about the character's feeings, motivations, and personality traits.

Non-Fiction:

  • Describe the various connections you can make with your book. What experiences, stories, or world events can you connect to your book?
  • Take a visual stroll through your book. Which charts, diagrams, and illustrations helped you to learn the most about your topic?

  1. I think what is next for Paul is that he will get over the fact that his father doesn't want anything to do with him. In five or ten years, I think i can see him as being a person that cares about his kids because his father never cared about him and he is trying to be a better father.

  3. The charts and diagrams that helped me more understand my book was probually the picture of Arnold and his mother. This helps me better understand the connection between his mother and him. It lets me know how much his mother loves him. Another picture that helps me better understand the story is the picture of his teachers and coaches.It seems to me that he only looks at the bad thing in people. Fianally, the picture comparing him to white people. This truley shows me how poor he really is.

  4. My charectors point of veiw is comeing from Gale.
    I Gale would hope to see myself with Katniss in 5 years. I want Petta out of the picture by then so I will have to think of something to get him out. When Katniss and I hopefully have kids I want them trained. I want these kids to be able to survive out in the woods for days at a time. When our kids go into the Games I want them to come out alive within 8 days tops.

  5. In the book "Zombhie Survival Guide"the author said that zombies are less likley to search and attack rural areas. He said that this was because rural areasb are less populated and therefor are less likely to stage a outbreak. This reminded me of the time that I was at my cabin in Pensylvania and a bobcat came out of the woods and walked around the cabin.It didn't bother us it just walked around for a while and went away. Supposidly that is the same thing a zombie would do if you stayed quiet and somewhat ignored it.

  6. In five or ten years I can see myself with the love of my life who is Isabella Swan. Even though I have to turn her into a vampire. That will be the hardest part for me. We will be living ina dark less populated area so that we aren't noticed. Humans aren't supposed to know about vampires, which is why I have to turn her into one. I don't to take her entire future away from her but she insists on me doing it so I have to let her make her own decisions.

  7. My charater point of view would be from Elijah. In 5 years, I hope to be teacher, since I am one of tdhe only freeborns here in buxton. I feel this will help the other freeborns if I could help educate them, thus spreading the knowledge here in Buxton. After that I hope to get married with Emma Collins, I feel that this relationship would turn out OK because we are both fragile in a way, and we are both freeborns.

  8. In my story i dont even think that Mitty will beable to see 10 years from now. The reason I think that is because Mitty was kidnapped and thrown into a dark basement where it seems to me that he will be left to die. The people who had kidnapped him are only feeding him small amounts of food, and he still isn't sure if he has smallpox. He has come to a conclusion that the people who kidnapped him are going to let him die, so his only way to escape is going to be putting his life at great danger. Its really interesting and i cant wait to find out what happens!

  14. Run, Boy, Run by Uri Orlev... Now that i've made it through all that I have, my next step would be to realize the fact that I am a survivor. Unlike many of my time, I fought for my freedom and I made it through the Holocaust alive. In five years from now I see myself telling my life story to others and even being a motivational speaker. Although I did survive, I still will never forget the day I was informed about the shooting of my mother and sister. And never will I forget those words "Run, Boy, Run".

  15. Coming from the point of view of my character Harley, I would see myself as doing all that I can to try to get my life back together and be a straight A student instead of a drunk drug user. Than once I got back on the right track I would start working on my art work again.Finally in five or ten years I can see myself pursuing my dream of an artist and selling millions of my pieces to people all over the world. Since it is something I love to do and am extremely good at, it would be the perfect job choice for me.

  16. I think whats next for Annie is that she will take care of her new born brother. Also that she will end up going out with Max because of their close realationship that they are ready have, and since Annie is now saying that she kinda likes him more then a friend makes me think that they we eventually go out.

  21. In my book...the main character would be Ruby. In the next ten years I think Ruby would marry the guy in the book wich his name is???(I left my book at school)well anyways I think Ruby will also stop living with her grandmother and go back living with her mom which adopted her because her real parents arn't living and she was left alone in the dark when her real parents died. I also seeing her self in ten years bieng a public speaker because in the book she would not stop talking and it just made the book even longer because she kept on talking and talking even more.

  22. The character that my point of view is coming from is Holly. In five years i hope that my sister Giselle is normal and never goes back to her eating disorder or ever ends up in the hospital again. in five years i really hope that i will be over dads death and i wont see his ghost anymore. It really hurt me when he died it just really scares me when i see him in ghost form. Furthermore, i really want mom to find someone else for her in the next few years. i do not think it will be good for her to be lonely. In terms to myself i want to become a faster runner and i really hope that i dont get any injury that may stop me from running. This is where i hope to see myself in 5 years.

  25. In my story the main character's name is Merlin.
    After what he has been through I would think that he would try to find the magic in him like how we know him as a wizard. In ten years he woulgd probably starting to begin creating magic, but not yet mastering it. He will still be sadden by the lose of tjose who were close to him.

  26. So the main character in my book, Alan, would definatly be with his girlfriend Polly in the next five or ten years. Plus, he would move far, far away from Castle Rock, Maine because of all the gruesome events and all the dead people. I know this becasue at the end of my book, Alan looked sadly back at his city after it was destroyed and thought to himself, "this is not my town anymore."

  28. The two characters I've picked are Dave and Asa. Dave is Asa'a step-dad. His feelings taught me that if u care about someone and you think they need a friend, be one. Asa's feelings taught me that no matter how you feel about someone or something, you shouldn't take it out on someone else. Also that being a caring person can get you farther in life than being mean or nasty.

  29. In "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the two passages I chose are about Harry and express the same trait. Harry has wayy too many outbursts. He loses his temper very quickly and he goes off on the people around him for several minutes at a time. There were times in the book that, if he was real, I would be veeerrrryyy concerned about him. It might also mean that he keeps too many things bottled up so the slightest change in his emotions causes him to explode!!!!!!

  30. My characters point of veiw is from Bridget, Lena, Tibby, and Carmen. Now that Bridget has come this far, whats next is to win the championship for the soccer camp she is going to in Baja California. In five or ten years i see her as having a relationship with Eric and always trusting her friends. in pages 224 through 227, it tells me that her motivation is to have a boyfriend to feel confident in her soccer career.Lena is in Greace for the summer and whats next for her is that she is going to forget that she once hated this boy named Kostos, and she now has feelings for him. In five or ten years Lena would have a relationship with Kostos and thank her grandparents for always being there in times of need.In pages 150 through 152, it shows that Lenas motivation is to catch Kostos eye and wonder what he was thinking when their grandparents were fist fighting.Tibby is the only one who stayed home for the summer and whas next for her is to rebuild her broken friendship with Carmen, and to make sure that Bailey, which is someone she met while working, never feels like she is alone.In five or ten years i think that she will spend more quality time with her friends and family and to also take some classes on directing. in pages 164 to 167, Tibby's motivation is to understand how other people react to the camera.Carmen went to visit her dad for the summer, who had dvorced with her mom, and when she arrived she found out that her dad is gettind remarried and she didnt feel that she fit into the picture and decided to leave because she hated the family that her dad is trying o be apart of. She goes to Tibby's house afterwards hoping Tibby would understand but she didn't which caused Carmen to be mad at her. What is next for her to do is to rebuild her friendship with Tibby and understand that her dad wanted her to be happy. In five or ten years Carmen would face her fears with her dad and Tibby and appreciats the fact that she attended her dad's wedding even though she didn't want to. In pages 158 through 162 her motivation was to find out why her dad wanted to get remarried, and at that moment she realized she may have something in common with this new family of hers even though she may have not wanted to.

  32. From Kealdra's point of view: I see myself five years from now in a shed and still taking care of these destructive little dragons. I imagined this because their mother's death made me in gharge of them. If I don't keep them from being killed then there wwould be no more of beautiful creaters.

  33. In my book, Hatchet, the main character is Brian. In the next five or ten years, I can see Brian just living out the life of a normal person, remembering the 54 days he lived out in the wild.I see this because he probably doesn't want to go through the wilderness again so he'll try to keep his life as normal as possible

  34. In "The Story of The Second World War", there are images of the current events happening in the story, this helps because I didn't know what the events would have looked like and gives the book a more realistic feel.

  37. If I asked Kelley, the main character of A Face First, 'So now that you've made it through all that you have, what's next for you? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? Why?' I think that she'd respond, '
    I don't know what will happen in the next five to ten years or how my face and body will heel but I do know that I am not alone and there are other people that went through the same thing. So no matter what happens I know that I still have my friends and family by my side.'

  38. I've made it through the deepest of jungles and brightest of flames, but what can I do? Who truly wants me? A smelly "P.O.W." thats been held back several times..? A turn for the better is here though and I want to help others like me before they become too much like me.

    I see it now in a decade, being the superhero that those who need someone to care want. To feel like they aren't outcasts after all so they can live better lives then I had to.

  39. I think the next step for Seph is to deal with the rest of the supporters of D'Orsay. In 5 years seph will probably be either part of the Grand Council or hiding, depending on how successful he is at dealing with his enemies.

  41. well in my book the character have taught me alot with their feelings. the 2 characters i pick are Elanie and Lacolt.

    Elanie- Her mood is always fairly good. she does get hurt but it is because over a guy. wow i hear that every day from my firneds. hahah. well she has really taught me just because one thing doesnt happen your way that doesnt mean that nothing will turn out good for. it just means you have to keep a really good eye out for the good thing. and that it might not come out and yell, "look over here i am a good thing"!!! to find that good thing it might mean getting hurt one more time.

    Lancolt- wow he os an very intersting person. well he is ajerk in the book but doesnt everyone have a jerk in his life? in this book elaine is in love with him and he tells her that she is only a kid to him. yes elaine is hurt but she than realises any guy that says that th her is no good for her, and i am glad she figues that out!

  42. If the main character of my book was talking with a talk show host and he asked Russle what are your fears and worries? what keeps you up at night? Russle would probly say i worrie about my mom and just wonder if she will be all right were ever she is. He would also say the sound of my dad hacking up tar every morning and how much i wish he wouls stop smoking. that is what Russle would say.

  43. In my book, "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, I can't really relate to many of the charecters, because they all have weird problems. I can kind of relate to the main charecter Miles, in a way, because he had one of his bestfriends, Alaska, die in a car accident, (I cried by the way) and I know one of my friends had a cousin and he died, too. I also can relate to him in another way because hes currently having some crazy dreams, and I have weird ones every night!

  46. If I asked Reed, the main character of Revelation, "So now that you've made it through all that you have, what's next for you? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? Why?" I think that she would respond with something like this,
    "Well, in five or ten years I see myself getting a good job and getting a husband and starting a family. But for now I want to try and finish high school at Easton and try to clear my name from all rumors of murder."
