Understanding your character is a good way for you to get into your book and see from another persons perspective. In your response this week describe your character, think about and disscuss your main characters;
-Personality
-How they act and behave
-What they look like
-How old they are
-What sort of education do you think they have
-Who their friends and famiy are
-What their financial{Money) situation is
-And what their job is[if they have one).
I am still continuing to read Avalon High by Meg Cabot. My main character is Tall smart nerd, yet shes a pretty girl. Since her and her family moved they still have a pool in there new house to, so she has a raft and all she does is float all day, its like she has no life. Her mom feels that way also because on page 7 it says " I didnt think that was a bad way to spend my last few weeks of summer. But my mom did. " There was a conversation between Ellie the main character and her mom on page 8 saying " Schools going to start soon , why cant I just float until then, Ellie said to her mom, " Because its not normal" Her mother would say when she asked her that. Ellie didnt really think she wasnt normal because like she would say in the book , her mom and dad are both freaks. Ellie isnt really a bad difficult kid but she can also get annoyed by her parents like mostly every teenager does and talk back.
Ellie her looks arent that complicated, she is a tall Blondish, Light Brownish haired girl she isnt fat and she isnt skinny she isnt the perfect shape but shes close , she works out . So she has a good health. She is in high school, they dont say the grade but if shes in High school her age is probably 15,16,or even 17 [Most high schoolers are that age.) Her education ishigh school she now attends Avalon High. Her friends are Nancy her best friend back home who is the type to call you and ask you a whole bunch of questions about the boy you like. Then theres Liz and Stacy are here new friends that arent really popular and dont really go to parties , yet even get invited to parties. But their good friends to Ellie. Ellie has a family, she lives with her mom and dad which she considers as freaks, Her mom and dad are both into that Medieval warrior stuff. Which Ellie thinks is totally lame and basically know every story there is about that. Her brother Geoff is out for college. So she is basically an only child now days. Her parents are wealthy well at least it seems like it . They have enough money to buy things they want and need and to buy things that Ellie also wants and needs, they have a nice house with a pool and thats gotta count for something. They are doing good they aren't rich but yet there not poor. Ellies one and only job is school.
In my book i am on page 173 and that is what I know about main character and how she is and all about Ellie.

Bre,
ReplyDeleteNice connection to the average teenager. I really like how you support your thoughts on her age, her education, and how she feels about her parents' hobbies.

Next Steps:
Check for punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. Did you put this in open office to check?
Does your character have a strong personality? Is she argumentive? Why else does she argue about?
Becareful how you use quotes. It sounds like you have one in the 2nd paragraph but you don't identify it. The two you use in the 1st paragraph aren't quoted correctly easily.
You really have great thoughts but they aren't organized. read it aloud.
