I am curently reading The Unwanted's by Lisa McMANN. I am on page 117. I would talk about his missing family. I would also talk about leaving the setting Artime to go back to Quill. If I were to give him advice I would say to be patient. He will be able to start his magical warrior training soon. I would ask him if he would leave Artime, because he is not feeling comfortable in the place.

The book that I just finished reading today was "Forge" and the author of the book is Laurie Halse Anderson. I fiinished the book today so I ended on the last page which was page 280. If I was having lunch with Curzon, I would probably ask him questions about his life in the war and as being a slave. I would also talk about my life compared to his. I would probably tell him about the different conditions and how the idea of slaves is now forbidden. I would also give him some advice. I would tell him to be a little bit more organized with his plans to escape with Isabel because it always seemed like he did not have an escape plan when his chance came to just go.

The Serpent's Shadow, the author is Rick Riordan. I am on page 35. I would talk about how are they gonna defeat Chaos because I want to know if they have a plan.I would tell them to look into the Duat because some said that in the book. I would ask when did you guys get some many recruits because they didn't have as many as before.

ReplyDeleteI just finished the book "Forge" By: Laurie Halse Anderson. If I was having lunch with Curzon I would talk about all the battles he has been to because I am very interested to talk to people who have been in actual battles/wars. The advice that I would give him would be that it doesn't matter what other people think about you, it matters what you think about yourself. I would give him this advice because throughout the book, Curzon is worried about slavery. The questions that I would ask him would be does he love Isabel as a "sister" or a crush. I would ask him this question because at the beginning at the book he said he loved her as a "sister" and towards the end he started having feeling for her.

I'm currently reading "Wereworld: Rise of the Wolf" book 1 of the series. The author of this mythical and magical book is Curtis Jobling. I'm currently only on page 41 since I just started it but I love it already. I'm not sure who the main character is but I believe it to be two people so far named Drew Ferran, and Whitley. (Who's last name is not yet revealed.) I'm sure though that if I had lunch with them we would talk about nature and it's creatures. I'd probably ask Drew though what it was like to change into a wolf creature and watch his mother die before that, and Whitley what it was like to have to ride a horse through such a deadly forest then become lost without his master slash mentor.

I am currently reading Wood Runners by Gary Paulsen. I am page 152. If I had lunch with Samuel, I would talk about how he is good at hunting and what this whole journey felt like. I wonder when he started to hunt. I would also ask what his reaction was when he found where his parents are located because it was a big priority for Samuel to find his parents and try to help them escape prison.

The book I am currently reading is "Chains" by: Lauren Halse Anderson. I am on page 295. If I were having lunch with Isabel I think that we would talk about her experience at the Lockton house and how she was able to move on from when her sister Ruth was sold. What advice I would give her is that times can be rough but we all get over them and look on the brighter side. What question I might ask Isabel is do you think you escape from the Lockton will be successful?

I am currently reading The Magician by Micheal Scott. I am on page 442. If I were to talk to the twins, Sophie and Josh, we would talk about anything that came to mind. Whether it be school or sports or whatever. The only bit of advice I think I would be able to give them is to never let the other twin out of your sight, because that's when all the bad stuff happens.I would probably ask them what it's like to be running around the world, while be chased by ancient, magical creatures, because it would seem hard to go from working in a book store/coffee shop then being whisked away by Nicholas Flamel and end up in Paris a day later.

I am reading Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am currently on page 274. If I ever got to talk to Isabel I would try and talk about how she was able to keep feeding the prisoners. If I could give her some advise I would tell her to keep going on and things will get better. I would also ask her if she ever liked Madam once or did she just hate her the whole time because I wonder if there was a time if Madam was nice to her just because she wanted to thank Isabel for her work.

The book that I am currently reading right now is called 'Feather Boy' by Nicky Singer. The page that I am on is pg.14 Chp. 2. If I was having lunch with the main character I would talk about how is school going so far for you and your friends,from how the main character (name not yet found), Johnny Nicky and Catherine all have minor issues and secrets in the school. The advice that I would give to the main character is you're doing a good job of keeping your greatest feelings to yourself, although it would be a good idea to be more social with more of your classmates and teachers, other than being quiet to them. A question that I have for you is when you were talking about Norten Nobel (real name is Robert Nobel) was given that nickname Norten. Would that effect hhim and you and your friends.

ReplyDeleteI am reading the book Daniel X by James Patterson. I just started it and on page 31. I would talk about how he got his powers. Also, I would ask him to hypnotize me, and to turn me into an alien. I wouldn't have any advice for him because I don't fight aliens and such. I would also ask him where and when he got his powers to rip aliens in half, because I wanna rip aliens in half too!

Forge by. Laurie Halse Anderson
I am on page 253, I think that if I was having lunch with Curzon I would talk about how he was doing in the war. I think I would tell him that it would be best if he hides in the woods and tries to find someone for the key. What ideas do you have to get the collar off of Isabel because they will she is a slave.

I am reading the book Chains by, Laurie Halse Anderson. I am on page 182. If I were having lunch with Isabel I would help her make a plan so she can escape slavery and find Ruth. I would make a plan to help her escape slavery and find Ruth because Ruth was sold by Mrs. Lockton, Isabel's owner and Isabel needs to find her because Ruth is only 5 years old. Some advise I would give her is that she needs to be very careful of where she goes and how she gets places because their is a war going on in New York that Isabel does not want to get caught in the middle of, because if she does she would get sent back to Mrs. Lockton and punished. A question I would ask Isabel is what would she do if she doesn't find Ruth?

The book I just finished reading was Chains. It was my historical fiction book. Today, I started on page 300, and ended on page 315. Chains was a really interesting book, and it had lots of information on the Revolutionary War. The book was about a slave girl named Isabel, and her little sister named Ruth. The were sold to a family called the Locktons. The jitz of the book was about Isabel and Ruth trying to become free, when in the background, the Revolutionary War is going on.

The book that I was reading today in readers workshop is Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am on page 260. If I was eating lunch with Isabel, who is a slave girl, I would talk to her about her sister and how she is going to get her back. I would give Isabel the advice to be careful around Madam Lockton because Madam Lockton has killed a girl from beating her. I might ask Isabel what it is like being a slave because it must be so hard for her since she is sleep deprived because it is so cold but then she has to work really hard during the day.

Today I read the book woods runner by Gary Paulsen. Today i finished my book and I thought that it was a good book it showed lots of great detail and explained it really well. Samuel met lots of people in his adventure to help find his family and at the end he did. He fought the hissenians and took his parents back if you like adventure and suspense you should get this book.

I am currently reading Doll In the Garden by Mary Downing Hahn. I am on page 6 because I just started yesterday. If I were to have lunch with the main character, so far I’d say that the main character should do something of that grumpy old lady because I can tell she’s going to blame you or something or just do stuff to you to get you in trouble. Right now, I would ask if she is really going to rent that little place she is in now or if she’d move.

I am reading the book Elephant Run. The author is Roland Smith. I am on page 216.
If I was having lunch with the main character I would talk about the war. I would say not to go to Burma and if he gets forced there warn the army. I would ask him what was life like for him growing up? I would like to know what the 30's-40's were like. This is because we don't have the stuff they had back then.

The book I am currently reading is my historical fiction book. It is Woods Runner, and it is by Gary Paulsen. I am currently on page 151, which is very close to the end. If I were having a meeting with the main character, Samuel, I would have a lot to talk about. I would tell him that he has made very good choices, and that he has learned a lot of lessons. I think this BECAUSE Samuel has made very good decisions when he had to make one. For example, the most risky decision was whether or not he wanted to rescue his parents. He made his choice that he wanted to find them, and that was probably one of the best choices Samuel has ever made. Everything worked out, and in the end, he came back with his family, and a new sister. I would tell Samuel that he is a huge success, not a failure.

I am currently reading “Sophia’s War” by Alvi for history class. I am currently on page 238 and I am enjoying it. If I was having lunch with Sophia I would talk about how things are going with trying to tell the information about Benedict Arnold for committing treason. I would talk about this because so far everyone thinks she’s going mad and is not telling the truth about General Arnold even though she is trying to give as little information about him as possible and still save America. I would tell her to never stop trying because without her knowledge the war would be lost and Britain will rule. Also, a question I would ask is why are you not telling them directly that General Arnold is committing treason? I would ask because then maybe even if they don't believe her she can try to convince them instead of giving little clues.

I am currently reading The Fighting Ground. I am currently on page 148. If i was having lunch with the character he would have wounds and be a little dirty from the wars he has been fighting in. We would talk about how it feels in the war. Some advice i would give him would be stay strong and be safe because he have been in wars and gotten captured before and i think he should be careful what he does in life. Some questions I would ask him would be what made u go in the war and what does it feel like?

I am currently reading All the Lovely Bad Ones , which is written by Mary Downing Hahn. I found this book when I saw Kate Pollina’s book wiki. So far, it is a great book. I am on page 150 and I am very close to finishing it. Mary Downing Hahn is a great author and she writes really creepy, mystery type books. If I was having lunch with Mary Downing Hahn, I would ask her how she got inspiration to write books, because mystery is my favorite genre. Most authors write realistic fiction, and the ones that write mysteries usually aren’t very good.

ReplyDeleteTo day I read Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen. ! am on page 110. If I where to have lunch with Samuel I would help him make a plan of what to do when he reaches New York. I would help him Find his parents. I would do this because it would help him a lot.

I'm reading the Lost Hero and the author is Rick Riordan. The page I'm on is 47. If I had lunch with the Jason the main character I would talk about being a demigod because demi-gods are special so i would want to know how it feels like being a demigod. The advice I would give him is be brave and strong because he's scared of the monsters in the story so I would want him to be strong and brave. The question I would ask is Is this a different experience from others because I want to if being different from others is hard and difficult.

The book I am currently reading is "Percy Jackson: The Battle of the Labyrinth" by Rick Riordan. I am on page seventy-five of the book. One of the main characters in the book is Annabeth. If I were to have the chance to eat lunch with her, I would ask her about the Labyrinth and try to learn more about Greek mythology. I would tell her to be brave and strong for what is going to happen (especially when fighting off monsters). I would also ask her about what camp Half-Blood is like because it seems like a magnificent setting of the author's imagination.

The book I am reading is called SYLO by DJ. Machale I am on page 22. If I were to have lunch with tucker I would tell him to try to find out how all of these people are dieing and do something not let it go. Will you and Quinn at least try to find out what is happening what if you are in danger? Will you find out who is doing this or what is happening? What was the guy with the notebook about was that maybe a death book?

I'm reading the book Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am currently on page 217. The main character in this book is named Curzon. If I were to have lunch with Curzon, I would ask him what it feels like to be a slave. If it scary, easy, hard or frustrating? He is forced to work as a slave so it must be pretty frustrating. The advice I would provide to him would be to be a little clever. He needs to think of a devious plan to try and escape. He also needs to plan this in a place where no one else will be able to hear him. The last plan he made was reported to his master by one of the other slaves. He needs to be careful, but at the same time not afraid to take risks. Another piece of advice I would give him is to friend Isabel. It would be easier to escape together instead of alone. Overall, I think Curzon is very close to devising a plan to escape!

During reader's workshop, I was reading Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson. I finished the book during reader's workshop after about 20 minutes. If I was having lunch with the main character, I would ask the main character, Curzon, how hard it was to not retaliate when Bellingham whipped him, or physically abused him. I would give the advice of now talking to Isabel when Bellingham is around, and I would tell him not to even look at her when he is around. I would tell him this because Bellingham said that he is going to whip Isabel when Curzon does something wrong, so I would ignore Isabel and stop retaliating when Bellingham is around and when he physically hurts Curzon.

The question I would ask him is why do you think you have the power to heal people?

I am currently reading the book, Chains, which is a historical fiction book. The author is Laurie Halse Anderson. I'm on page 225. If I was having lunch with Isabel, the main character, then I would ask her, "Are you sad about being a slave and losing your sister? Do you think you deserve more respect for helping Madam Lockton? I would give Isabel advice to try to formulate a plan to escape, because Isabel is not a true slave. She had papers proving that she was free. Chains is a gret that I recommend you to read it.

I am currently reading The Hunt for the Seventh by Christine Morton-Shaw. I am now on page forty-one. If I was having lunch with the main character, Jim, we would definitely talk about the Minerva kids, the ghosts he has been seeing, Einstein, and about what he knows about the seventh. It would be very important that we would discuss all the extraordinary events that have been happening. I would advise Jim to not freak out next time he encounters another ghost because he could extract some vital information from the ghost about the seventh or what is going on. I would ask Jim about his relationship with Sal. I think it would be helpful if he could get along with her because he could tell her about the situation he is in and get some valuable insight or advice. Sal could also help out a lot with the problem because she seems to get along with people and that may seem to be a key when talking to Einstein or the ghosts.

Today I read a bit of the book White Star A Dog on the Titanic by Marty Crisp. Nothing has really happened. The characters, Sam and Bucky, go on the Titanic and meet a guy named Phineas. If I were having lunch with Sam, I would tell him that the Titanic will sink and he should warn everybody about it and save the ship. Well if I do that then I might make a temporal paradox and rip a hole in the space time continuum and everything will cease to exist. But I think when the ship does sink he will get saved by a dog. So yeah.

I am reading the book Boys Without Names. The author is Kashmira Sheth. I am on page 5 right now. If I was at lunch with the mane charterer I would ask him why he is so excited to go to the city? I would give him the advice to try and help his family by getting a job so they wouldn't need to move away from there friends and family.
I got the book Middle School the Worst Days of My Life by James Patterson. i only got to read about 8 pages but in those pages i learned that he doesn't like his family. He is very emberesed by them and he doesn't like his brother and sister. On the first page they were all in the back of a police car and that made me want to get the book. then it was talking about when hes in school and that he isnt a popular kid. in his class the kids are crazy and. they do not follow directions. This book seems like it will be funny and crazy.

I am reading Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen. I am on page 74. The main character of this book is Samuel. If I was ever having lunch with Samuel, we would probably talk about his adventure in the woods. I would ask him how he felt during the journey, and what he what he wished he did differently. I would advise Samuel to keep trying and find his parents because throughout the book he seems very desperate, but is sometimes put down by unwanted events. Although this isn't my favorite book so far, I think it is really interesting.

The book I read today was Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am on page 270, so I am almost done. If I had lunch with the main character Curzon, I would ask him a lot of questions. I would ask how does it feel to be a slave and servant to a really mean person, and I would give him the advice to keep trying to escape with Isabella. I would say this because he has tried to escape many, many times and has failed a lot. He has to keep fighting for her freedom if he wants to get it. Another question I would ask him is what is his emotions during the course of his life. I would also ask if he does escape and succeed where will he go, and if he is going to keep trying to find Ruth with Isabella? I would have a lot of questions, but these would be the main ones.

I am currently reading my history book, Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am now on page 270. If I were having lunch with Isabel, the main character, I think we would talk about many things. For example, I would ask her questions about what it's like being a slave and what her emotions are because you can never really understand someone unless you walk in their shoes. I would ask her if she is planning to go after Ruth and help the both of them and become free. Some other things we might talk about are what it felt like to have the letter "I" branded on her face. Did it hurt? How much? Will you continue going to the prison and feed the rebels, including Curzon? What are your feelings towards him? Our conversation would most likely be me asking her questions at a million miles per hour because I already have so many question about the book, which makes me want to read the sequel. Some advice I would give her would probably be to go after Ruth, and become a free girl and not let anyone get in your way.

The book I am currently reading is Forge, a.k.a the sequel to the book Chains. The author is Laurie Halse Anderson, and currently I am on page 271. If I was having lunch with the main character Curzon, I would ask him about his life and how he experienced as being a slave and in the war and his relationship with Isabel, a girl that he likes, because I know that being a slave is hard, but I'm concerned of how he is treated and what kind of work he has to do. I am not done reading the book yet, so I do not know if Curzon will get along with Isabel, but if they didn't then I would give him some advice of getting Isabel to like him, but also how to stand up for himself and not be treated with disrespect as being a slave, and to tell him that was is hard, so to not give up.

The book I am reading is Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am about to finish the book I am on page 295. If I were having lunch with the main character Isabel I would ask her how hard it is to be a slave. Also how was she so brave when she was escaping because it takes a strong willing person to do what she did. Another question I have is how you felt when Ruth was sold. I like to know this because her sister is with another family. Some advice I would give to Isabel is that she should of reacted faster and not help Qurzon. She could have gotten caught. I gave this advice because if she got caught she would've been beaten and sent back to her owners.

ReplyDeleteI'm reading Satch and me by Dan Gutman. I have almost read every book in the series. But so far this book is very good. I'm on the 100th page. In this book Joe Stoshack and his coach Flip Valentini travel back in time to find out if Satchel paige really was the fastest pitcher to ever live by bringing a radar gun to see how fast he threw. If I had lunch with Satchel Paige I would probably faint but I would ask him how he was able to have a healthy arm and play baseball all the way to 61 years old and throw a fastball at approximately 110 miles per hour. For advice I would tell him to never give up on his dream to get out of the Negro league and play for the MLB because he will accomplish that goal when he gets 42 years old. Thats what I would say to Satch.

I had just finished the book. If i was having lunch with the character I would just talk all about the war and how it felt and also a lot of things he experienced and other things about him and the battle. I would ask the him how was he feeling when he was getting doubted and also when he was the youngest in the army and how did it feel not being trained for the war and know nothing about. also the best question is why didn't he shoot the german soldier when he had to. I was thinking that he could die at a young age during the beginning and at the end!
My favorite word was when the german soldiers had them and were speaking german to them and they did not understand what they were saying and then the germans got mad and then at the end a german said “The americans are coming let them go” that was the best I liked because it was the end and they were getting scared so they let them go.
I would also llike to ask himm why was he so confident about joining the army and thinking he could do it and then when it came time for him to do it why did he not do it.

The book I am currently reading (due to the fact the movie is premiering tonight ;) is Catching Fire. The author of this phenomenal book is Miss Suzanne Collins. Since I had started it last night, I finished it in class. If I had lunch with Katniss Everdeen, I would ask her if she wanted to ever shout out to the Gamemaker and President Snow, during the games, and yell profanities at them. Would she have ever fallen in love with Peeta if not for the Games? I would ask these questions because seeing her answers to these would release and emote many deep thoughts and feelings. I would also find out more about her character, and that would be an amazing opportunity.

I am currently reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I am on page 229. If I had lunch with the main character I would talk about how he is so amazing and that I love his hair. On the other hand, I would also talk about how his quest is going and how brave he is. Some advice that I would give Percy, is to just be brave and take risks. I think that in order to complete such a quest like he is, you have to take some risks. I would ask him how is he so brave, what was it like fighting monsters, what do monsters smell like, and many more questions. I would ask these because I could never do these things myself and I am just curious.

The book that I am reading is "How They Croaked". How They Croaked is written by Georgia Bragg. So far I am only on page 13. In the book there is really no main character so out of the 2 characters that I have read about I would want to have lunch with King Tut. If I was having lunch with the main character I would talk about how it must of felt to be the king of Egypt when you were so young. Some advice that I would give him would be not to just think about yourself but to also think about the people that you rule over. I would also tell him to let the people decide what they want every once in a while. I would give King Tut this advice because he was a ruler at such a young age so he may not of been taught to think of others yet. Some questions that I might ask King Tut would be what was it like to be a king at such a young age? I would also ask him What was it like to have all of Egypt in the palm of your hands? I would ask these questions because I think that it would be astonishing for me to be the ruler of anywhere when I was that young.

I would also ask her if she would like Lady Seymour as a master instead of Madam Lockton because it seems like she likes Lady Seymour better and that she treats Isabel better. The advice that I would give her would be to get up earlier in the mornings to fetch water and go to prison with food scraps for Curzon because then Madam could not couldn't catch her sneaking out.

The book I am currently reading is The Selection by: Kiera Cass. I have just started reading it and I am on page 13. If I was having lunch with the main character, America I would want to tal about the Selection. The first thing I would ask her is why she doesn't want to enter the Selection. I would ask her this because it is every girls dream to be one of the girls in the Selection. My book is really good so far and I cant wait to keep reading it!!

I am reading the book Chains by Laurie Halse. I am on page 235. If I were to have lunch with Isabel I would ask her about what plan is she going to use to escape slavery in New York. I would give her advice to be more stealthy and quiet or unnoticeable. I would also talk to her about her sister Ruth and if she is trying to escape to find Ruth. I would also talk to her about Curzon and what she thinks of him. I would ask Isabel these questions because if I knew these answers then I could know how she would try to escape and I would understand her thinking better.

I am reading thee book Forge by Lorie Halse Anderson, and I am almost done. I think that it was a pretty good book because it is about a boy that is trying to get through life in very tough conditions, and I think that, that kind of story is very interesting. It is not one of my favorite books but I didn't hate it. I would recommend this book to people who really like historical fiction and adventure an is interested in big wars. I am interested to see what happens in the end of this book because the entire book has been a good, and bad turn of events. I'm just waiting to see what comes next.
I am currently reading the book Thirteen Days to Midnight, by Patrick Carman. Since I just started this book, I am only on page 29. If I was having lunch with Jacob, I would ask him what it was like living in so many different foster homes. I would advise him to not fret over Mr. Fielding's recent passing, and that he will hopefully find a new home soon. I would ask him where he had previously lived, and what it’s like going to such a run down school.

I am reading Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am on page 250. If I had lunch with the main character in my book I would talk about the war and tell him what I knew about it. I would tell him that they don’t usually have wars/battles here in the U.S.A., and that he shouldn’t carry a gun around with him because people will probably call the police. I would ask what is was like to be in a war/battle because in history we’re learning about different battles that happened.

I just finished the book "Forge" by: Laurie Halse Anderson this hour. I would talk to Curzon about how hes is supposed to fight without his musket and bayonet, and is he going to stay with the army, or is he going to desert the army. My advice to them would be on the look out for posters and richer people. I would say that because good or not the richer people might take them as slaves and not return them.

The book I am reading is The Fighting Ground. The author of this book is Avi. The page I am on in The Fighting Ground is page 138. If I was talking to this person at lunch I would ask did you really want to join the arm at your age because he was only 13 when he joined the army. The advice I would give him is that after the war maybe you should go tell your dad I didn't mean to hurt you because his father told not to go and be apart of the army but he did anyway.

One False Note by Gordon Korman. I would ask what was the hardest part of his adventure because that really is exciting. I would tell him not to go in public because he can get caught like that. I would talk about his adventure because I would like to know were he has been.

Today I read Sophia's War by Avi. I read 30 pages. Sophia got information for Mr. Townshend, which is extremely important, but Mr. Townshend is gone. General Arnold plans to sell West point to John Andre which would basically loose the war for them. Sophia travels 50 miles to Tellers' Point. She runs into a woman and a man named Bente and Johan and they plan to sail along the same river as Arnold's helper is coming to talk to John Andre about West Point. Sophia is determined to find and stop them. How? Sophia's not exactly suree, but she knows she has to, or it's over for the Americans. I think she's smart for going there, because she's the only one who knows and can stop them. I think she should come up with a plan quickly if she wants to stop them, she's running out of time.I would probably ask her if she remembers the name Tallmadge, who Mr. Townshend said he tells him the information he finds because he could be in Teller's Point and he could help.

If I were having lunch with Isabel, the main character, I would ask her how she gets aaway with helping the rebels when she is a loyalist slave. I would tell to keep up the good work and help her get Curzon, her best friend who is also a slave. I think she would be my best friend if I talked to her.

Today I finished Smile by Raina Telgemeier. It was a very fantastic book, with a fantastic end. I started on page 154 and ended the book, which has 213 pages. I really liked this book because it had a lot of unreal situations that would never happen but yet you could relate to all of them in some way.
If I could have lunch with the main character, Raina I would definitely love it. She reminds me a lot of myself but there would be so much to talk about. Like friends and all of that stufF. I would ask her how she didn’t just die. She got so many treatments and was at the dentist 24/7.

I am currently reading the book Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. I am on page 232. If I was having lunch with Isabel, I would like to talk about her life because I do not know what it would feel like to have to work all day for Madam Lockton. I also would like to talk to Isabel and ask her about why she sneaks out and goes to the prison. I would not do that because I would be afraid that I would get caught. Later, I would give her some advice. I would tell Isabel that it will get better, and that if she wants to try her hardest to be free of slavery, keep trying. One day she will end slavery for everyone; she just needs to keep trying.

I am currently reading the book IFunny by James Patterson. I am on page 233. If I was having lunch with the main character, we would eat and talk and laugh at jokes, and talk about weird stuff and laugh at each other’s jokes because this main character Jamie is a funny dude! Advice I would give him is, just imagine everywhere in their underwear, you don’t need to be embarrassed by yourself! I would ask questions like why is joking your thing, and when did he get this talent. And who got him into this talent.

If I had Lunch with my main character, I would ask him if he could change one of these things, what would he choose, reviving Garrow or never meeting the Saphira and Brom. I would tell him to not only think about everything bad that is happening to him but to think about the bad things that are happening to others or the good things that are happening to him. I would probably say this because he is having a lot of trouble dealing with Garrow’s death and Rowin’s endangerment.

The book I am reading is Double-Dare to Be Scared the author of the book is Robert D. San Souci. I am on page sixty-five. There isn't a main character in my book since it is many short stories. But if I had lunch with a character from one of the stories I would have lunch with a thirteen year old girl named Mary Jo. I would ask her about the little ghost girl named Rosalie that she always talks to. I would ask her about Rosalie because in the story Mary Jo doesn't give that much away about Rosalie besides the fact that she is from the 50’s

I would tell him to keep writing because i really like his series and want to keep reading his books. I would ask him how old he was when he started writing his first piece. I would also ask where he gets his ideas from.

I am still currently reading Forge and the Author is Laurie Halse Anderson. I am on page 243. If I had lunch with Curzon, I would ask him what card games were popular back then and how people make musket cartridges. One of the pieces of advice I would tell Curzon is that he should just let Isabel run away because at least she would not have to be tortured by Bellingham for your every move. I would also ask him what the most advanced technology was back then because it was never really mentioned in the book.

I am currently reading the book The Kings of Clonmel Book 8 from the series Ranger's Apprentice and have reached page 71. The author is John Flanagan. I would probably not give any advice to the main character, Will, mostly because he's smarter at making decisions than me! I would ask about his thoughts though, about what goes through his mind, while he makes his decision.

Today I read half minute horrors and its by many authors a few are Lisa Brown Adam Rex and M.T Anderson and many more the story I am going to write about is An easy gig by M.T Anderson on page 17.If I had lunch with the main character I would give him advice not to trust everyone because you never know who they really are. Another reason I would tell the main character not to trust everybody because when he went to go babysit, the parents of the baby that he was babysitting planted a crime on him now it looks like its all his fault for killing the baby. One question I would ask him would be what did you think about the family the first time you met them? and also How did you feel when you found out what was really in the lasagna?
I was really shocked,scared, and very surprised what the lasagna turned out to be and what the people will say when the babysitter went to their house and never came out or heard of again.

I am currently reading Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen. I am on page 109 and I have to read to page 164 which is the end of the book. I would ask how hard it is to live in the woods and have to find your parents, take care of a little girl who saw her parents die and almost died herself and take care of yourself? I would go find a nice place to stay in New York where you are safe and hidden and find the little girl a place to stay while you fight because that is the safest for you, your parents and the little girl’s.

The book that I am currently reading is my Historical Fiction book, WoodsRunner. Gary Paulsen is the author of this book. I am on page 126. If I were to have lunch with the main character, Samuel, I would talk about if he ever found his parents. Also, if he did find his parents, did Annie go live with him and his parents since her’s are dead and she practically considers him as her brother. I would tell Samuel that he doesn’t always have to act brave, that he can be scared at times, that you don’t always have to act tough and strong because he always tries to be brave even when he wants to cry.

I am reading Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen and I am on page 122. If I was having lunch with the main character, Samuel, we would probably talk about his adventures and what life was like before the Revolutionary war mainly because I find life back when there wasn't any modern technology. I want to know what school was like how did they occupy themselves, what chores did they do? I think I would probably tell Samuel to be careful and always have a plan because he runs into a lot of different people and the smallest mistake could go along way in his case plus he doesn't seem like he is really all that prepared.

ReplyDeleteI’m currently read Bonce by: Natasha Friend, I’m on page 103. Funny you would ask what I would talk about if I were at lunch with them because in the book shes eating with her friends at the part that I ended. I would ask what it would be like to have no say in anything, and what it would be like to have the cutest guy at school be your brother and nobody pay attention to you. The advice I would give her would be, you speak up for herself because she's so shy and quiet and doesn't get around much. What I would ask, kinda leads to what we would talk about at lunch because I would ask her a bunch of questions about her new school, friends, mom. I recommend this book to everyone but mainly girls. :)

I am currently reading The City Of Ember. The author of this book is Jeanne DuPrau. I am on page 22. If I was having lunch with the main character’s I would talk about what jobs they had and what jobs they want. I would warn them and tell them about the lights going out and I would tell them about the box and the instructions so that they would do something about it. I would also tell them that they need to try to get the power back on in Ember or they need to find a way to get everyone out of Ember so they don’t get stuck in the dark. I would tell them because Doon, the boy, has ideas about it and Lina, the girl, is worried about everyone’s safety. I would also ask them if they thought the power would go out or if they were scared.

I have just finished Chains. Its a great book and it talkes about how if you were a slave how would you be living back then. This book is placed in the American Revolutionary War when the colonial men are fighting for freedom and rights. If I was at lunch with the main character, Isabelle I would talk about how she is a very strong person and she is willing to do anything for her family. She is a great role model and I think people can learn a lot from her life stories. She stands up for what she believes in. She usually is put down because she is a slave and they didn't treat woman and men equal back then. This book is great for anyone and if you really enjoy history you should read this book because it has a plethora of historical events that you can learn from.

I am reading The Transail Saga by Gary Paulsen. I just started it, so I am not far into it. It is fantasy/ realistic fiction. It is a little bit like Alice in Wonderland. If I was eating lunch with the main character, I would ask him how he was going to approach the village people. I would ask him if he remembered where the blue light sent him. Maybe the blue light will return.I would ask him how he was planning to survive, because he is stuck in a different world with barely any supplies. I really like the book, it is my favorite book ever, and I am reading it a second time, to see if It is still that good. Maybe that is just because Gary Paulsen is my favorite author. I would recommend it to any boy that likes survival stories.

Also i would help he come up with a plan to run away and get provisions for her. I would ask her why she decided to Charleston and not where General Washington was because with the info she gave the rebels I think she and her sister would be freed?
One more question, If she had the chance would she still try and find the lawyer to get her freedom not by running away

Raina is a average girl with real emotions. The main character is the author when she was a child. Rainas problem is when she trips and knocks her to front teeth out.

I think the author wrote this book to explain how life is for people who doesn't have the best life,but for the people who has the best dreams. Also maybe his parents got divorced and he wanted to play a sport but all that was stopping him but he kept going or he could be writing about his sister if he have or even a friend thats a girl that went thru this like parents getting divorced and the girl chasing after a dream . The why i think this is because people mostly write stories about lives but with different characters and the problems alittle different.
