If I could be a character...

November 12, 2014

 

Good evening, Pioneers!


Tonight you will post a blog discussing if you could be any character in your book, who would you be, and why. Make sure your post is at least a paragraph, and that you give your answer some thought. The more details the better. I really want to understand why you would choose to be a certain character.

For example, if I was reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn:

If I could be a character in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, I would be Huckleberry because he isn't afraid to take a chance and go on an adventure. For example in the story....

*Remember explain why you would want to be that character. Do you relate to them? Do you share something in common? Do you wish you were more like them?... etc.


 
Get to it, Pioneers!:)

  1. In my book I chose to be Poppy because she is brave by meeting her enemy Mr. Ocax with her father everyday. It relates to me because a lot of people consider me brave. Another thing that I want to be about Poppy is she stays around dangerous things without knowing and I do, too.

  11. I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid the 'Long Haul'. I think I would be Greg Heffley because he is always learning a new experience in every book! My favorite book is the 'Long Haul' because he has even more experiences than any book like the one that Greg fed a seagull a cheese curl and it wanted more than Greg tried tossing him an other cheese curl and missed than the seagull went in the car to get the cheese curl than the seagull missed the exit and freaked out in Greg's car.

  14. I'm reading Poppy by Brian Floca. The character I would like to be is Ereth the porcupine. I would like to be him because he has quills and they are very cool. If I had quills I would never get hurt because I would use them to protect myself. I wouldn't let anyone take my quills like Ereth did in the book. He gave Poppy a quill to use as a sword.

    2. I like Kolby's choice, I'll pick Ereth the porcupine too because I can protect myself. It'll be weird to be friends with a mouse when you're a porcupine but it is nice of Ereth to give Poppy a quill but I would admit I still wouldn't give Poppy my quill to use as a sword too.-Leon

    3. That will be so cool to use a quill as a sword I would like to check that out!!!

  17. I just finished reading Out of my Mind. If I could be any character in this book I would be Butterscotch. He gets to live life great and help around the house, kinda. He also is VERY good at comforting the family. He always lays down on the ground , right next to everyones feet. I wish I could be as comforting as Butterscotch because he is sooooooooo kind to Melody, Penny, Mom, Dad and Mrs. V.

  18. I'm reading The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder. If I could any character, I would be Laura because she is a. She is adventurous because she went out with Pa because the hay needed to get cut instead of staying inside with Ma. She reminds me of myself because she has to take care of her sisters(Mary,Carrie,Grace). In the book Laura makes you feel like your there. An other reason I like Laura is that in a blizzard she never let go of Carries hand. Some people would let go and run ahead.

  19. In my story, The Name of This Book Is Secret, I would like to be Max-Ernest because he has an interesting life and he is like Cass. The only difference is that Cass is more risky than Max-Earnest. If I were Cass, I would be in danger! Max-Earnest is more held back and he is a really cool guy.

  22. I am reading Out of My Mind by: Sharon M Draper. I wish I could be Melody because she has disabilities which will make her a stronger person on the inside. Her classmates could make fun of her,laugh, and tease her. She may feel down,but she will always find a way to see sunlight.Before I read this book I thought I couldn't do very cool things, but imagine if you couldn't talk,walk, move your arms, and play with your friends. Please reply and tell me how you would feel if that was happening to you. - Emma Kay ;)

  23. Great comment, Emma Kay. I think it would be very tough to live without the ability to express one's feellings or thoughts. Melody is an inspirational character!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great response Emma Kay!! I can't imagine living like Melody. In my opinion it would be very sad if that happened to somebody we know. We should be thankful that were okay. Don't you think?

  25. Out of my mind sounds like a great Emma Kay right after I am done with rump I will deftly read that book. By the way i love your response. iggy

  28. I am reading Mathlete V.S Athlete. If I could be any character it would be Russell, because Russell is really smart and being smart is really good and i would be real good at Basketball and if you are smart and sporty you can be an NBA player at games and when you don't have a game you can work and get a lot of $$$$$$. Then you will live a great life> That is why I would like to be Russel. ------------> #TIM<------------

  31. I would be Abbie from the Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams because she is a witch ,but not very good at it,and also she is pretty good at solving little mysteries. She's loyal funny and she's really good at acting in plays.The thing mostly like is that she can freeze time,erase part of someone's memory,and finally go back in time and zap herself anywhere in the world.
