Week 4 reading response

After analyzing your main character in a closer manner,you should now be able to compare and contrast that character in your book and with the main character in the class read. In the H-chart or in 3 paragraph compare and contrast these two characters. Determine which one you identify the most with and why?

In my book The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Ruth E. Murry. The things that are different from Doyle and Jonas Is that Doyle is a girl that never talks about her parents because they took her away from them when she was very young. She dose not have a home she lives in a ship with the owner on the ship and they always make her work. Also,she looks more like a person that dose not like to talk to people that she dose not know and she dose not like to ask questions about things she has to do until they tell her to. Another things,is that she dose not have to leave her home at the age

In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. The things that are different about Jonas and Doyle is that Jonas is a guy that dose not have his real parents but has people that treat him like his own son. He has a very different life from my main character they are different because he has to leave his home at the age 12 and Doyle doesn't.Also,Jonas has a little sister,and Doyle has to work for money and Jonas works for no money.

The things that I think they have in common is that they both have to leave their homes to go work.Also, they are both very young and have not meet there real parents.Another thing,is that Jonas and Doyle both have beliefs and don't judge life the way they have they have beliefs is that Doyle beliefs she will once meet her parents and Jonas beliefs that there community will change.

I really don't have a connection with both of them because I have both of my parents and I got to be with my parents also what I don't have in comment is that I don't have to leave my house at a early age to go work.

Week 3 RR? - Understanding my character(s)

(Be sure to include quote and page number!!)

You must use at LEAST 2 quotes from the book.

Understanding your character is a good way for you to really get into your book and see from another person's perspective. In your response this week, describe your character. Think about and discuss:

-1. your main character's personality

- 2. how they act/behave

- 3. what they look like

- 4. how old they are

- 5 what sort of education do you think that they have

- 6 who their friends and family are

- 7 what their financial (money) situation is

- 8 and what their job is (if they have one).

In my book The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Ruth E.Murray.My main character different from other books I have read she is different because it doesn't talk about her family and also,because she doesn't have big problems like other kids in the book.The age she looks like is a 8 or 9 year old I a guessing this because she is very young and also because she doesn't go to school so I really don't know what age she is she doesn't go to school because she is always traveling to a "ship to different place." The way I describe is by looking at the cover the cover looks like a girl that is wearing blue pants with a white shirt and she is holding a rope in her hand.

I really don't think she has family member because she never talks about them her friend is Mr.Grummage because she always tells him her ideas and problems she has. The way I describe him is old man,short with a hoke on his hand with a blue new long jacket. She doesn't have money because of the she dress also,because she is "always working on the ship.Her job is helping Mr.Grummage take care of the ship."

My book is called The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Ruth E.Murray.The cover of my book is an old sea ship an mirror reflecting to a girl in a dress from the days they dressed very fancy.What the mirror is showing is that there are two different parts to the story the sea ship looks like a slavery ship because the girls clothes is very dirty and also on the other side of the mirror it shows a girl that is well dressed and is rich.
