The things that i cherish most in life is my friends, family,and my books.The things that my character values the most is his mom(because he does not know his dad), his girlfriend,Alice,and his two new friends.Also the fact that he can do stravigate.He also values secrets,like the one that his friend Nicholas is really a dead prince.We both care about the same things such as family and friends. But he also values his girlfriend and the fact that he can stravigate.That is what i cherish and what my main character values and how they are alike and how they are different.
ReplyDeleteWell there's no one to comment on becuase there's zereo comments.....so any ways the things that I cherish is sports...acourse...not school...free time...not homework...not 4-h[hate]and basicaly sports.
ReplyDeleteThe main character is named Martin and he doesn't really value anything he just try's to stay out of trouble in his new school for bad kids and he starts off bad by talking back to teachers and being disrespectful to adults and much more...so he doesn;t value anything. If I was to compare my values to me He doesn't like doing his work, He's always getting hiself in trouble but trying to be good at the same time kinda like me.
Things that I cherish in life is free time, reading, spending time with friends, and sleeping in. Some things my main character, Rose Hathaway, cherishes is spending time with the love of her life, fighting evil vampires, and hanging out with her best friend. The plot helped me understand the character values because Rose had to go away to find Dimitri, the love of her life, since he has been forcably turned into a evil vampire. However she is torn between doing that and staying with her best friend. It also discusses that she loves getting rid of evil vampires to protect people but she doesn't know if she can do that with Dimitri. So the plot shows how she loves all ofthosethings because she is constantly torn between what she wants to do and what she knows is right to do.
ReplyDeleteSome things that I cherish in life are my friends, my education, and my family. The things that my character values are the things that he had before he went back in time, such as electricity, food, their families, their clothes, their friends , and their homes. In the plot of the story, the mains characters start of as normal children who hang out like normal teens and hang out with their friends, but as the story progreses, they realize all their values that they took for granted.
ReplyDeleteSome things i cherish in my life is my friends, reading, going out to different places, and my life. My character Lucy values Zach, her adoptive parents, her friend, and her real mom. The plot helped me understand because she ends up marrying Zach and that shows me that he was a very important part in her life. Also, her adoptive parents are people she cherishes because the plot is about Lucy trying to figure out how to undo her curse that is put upon her before her baby is born and she depends on her adoptive parents to help her. Lucy's real mom is someone she values because she's the one to the answers to what is happening to her and Lucy's mom knows what will happen to Lucy if she doesn't get the curse taken off of her. Lucy's mom is an example of curse that could not be lifted before Lucy was born. Lucy cherishes her friend because she doesn't think Lucy is crazy she sticks by her through the whole process and doesn't shun her just because she is pregnant at 16. Also, Lucy's friend is very understanding and she really is sincere and wants to help Lucy finish the three impossible tasks. My values are similar to Lucy's because i cherish my friends like Lucy does. They put hope and faith in me just like Lucy's friends.
ReplyDeleteThings that i cherish in life is soccer, basketball, family, and having friends. I cherish these things because they make you a better person. Some things that the main characters of the book cherish is their friendship, family, health, how they please each other, and also being involved in exciting things. The characters in the book my cherishings are related because ryan cares about his family and so do i, and also their friendship between the three characters which is Ryan, Chelle, and Josh, also elate to me because i have a lot of friendship connections too. I couldnnot respond to any other bblogs in my genre because none of them were posted.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to respond to Cassidy Ramsey's and I agree with not going to a wishing well either....so the book reminds me of something that I did was that Martin gets into trouble the same way that I get in trouble. For example; talking back to the teachers and being rude ...well mostly in 4-h because they desserve it and there rude to us.
ReplyDeleteThe passage of the story that remimded me of something Ive done is when the main characters start getting homesick. They feel this because in this book the main charaters somehow get sent back into 1899 and cant find a way out. I felt homesick for the first time during a feild trip in Buffalo, New York when the entire 5th grade took a three day camping trip. It was fun at first, but later as the trip progresed, I was feeling homesick.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I fe;t that happened in the book was that she had to choose between her friend and her boy friend. I only had to choose between my friend but it's still a hard choice to make because you don't want to upset the other person. This is important in the book because if she chooses her friend many people might die but if she chooses her boyfriend her friend might be in trouble. It is a very hard dicission to make and each choice has consequences she has to deal with. My choice didn't have consequences but it is still very hard to choose so that is why I thought it related since she has a hard time choosing what to do.
ReplyDeleteOk so there is a part in my book were Dorthy and the rest of the gang go into a field of poppy flowers and the lion and Dorthy started to drift off because they were made of flesh. I connected to this passage because when ever I am near daisies I start to get sleepier and sleepier
ReplyDeleteThe part that i connected to in my book was when Zac gave Lucy a shirt for Lucy's birthday it was to big for her and it was special to her so she put it in a floorboard to keep it there. When i was younger i put my barbie dolls under my bed in a box because they were special to me and i wanted to keep them safe. This part was important because when she put the sweatshirt in the floorboards she also put a letter from her mothre before she went crazy and this is a importnant letter because it tells Lucy about the curse and what she has to do to get rid of it. Lucy was to young at the time and she decided to put it in a safe place until she was old enough so that she could read that letter. I agree with Ally because it is a hard decision to choose between
ReplyDeleteyour boyfriend and friend especially when either way you choose someone gets hurt.
One passage from the book is when Chelle finds out that her secret power is to read the minds of people to grant their wishes and this relates to me because she does not have complete authority of her power and cant stop herself from speaking her thoughts, and i sometimes do that because it is hard for me to keep my mouth shut sometimes. Chelle also has to cover things in her mouth to prevent her from saying anything thats shes bot supposed to say. I also think that Isha's book is really interesting because it relates to my book beause a problem is trying to get solved from a curse.
