Character Challenges

Good Evening Pioneers,

After reading for 35 minutes, I want you to write at least 4 sentences explaining the challenges the main character of your book faced while you were reading. Make sure to be specific in your response, and to add enough details for your classmates to understand what you're talking about.

Example:


Title: Esperanza Rising
Author: Pam Munoz Ryan
Character's Challenge: After Esperanza's father passed away, she and her mother escape from Mexico to America for safety and to find a job. Not only is Esperanza faced with the challenge of living without her father, but she has to find work in one of the most challenging times in American history, The Great Depression.  Once, a wealthy vineyards daughter, is now forced to work in poorer conditions and during a challenging time in history.

 
Get to it, Pioneers!:)

  14. I am reading The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail by Richard Peck. The main character does not know his name. This is one of his challenges because everyone gives him terrible nicknames like Runt. He committed two crimes because of the other mice children. Because of these crimes he is going to have to change where he lives and hide the few things he does know about himself.

  15. I am reading Fart Powder by Jo Nesbow illustrated by Mike Lowery. It is a newbook I am reading, I am only at pg. 14. There are two main characters in my book, Lisa and Nilly they are bestfriends Nilly plays the trumpet and Lisa plays the clarinete.

    They are both in a band together and there friends with a very quirky professor name Dr. Proctor. Hes gone on an adventure to find the love of his life. They received some peculiar postcards from the doctor.

    The problem is that the doctor was writing normal postcards but the doctor is not normally normal so both Nilly and Lisa believe something is wrong with the doctor.

  17. In my book ''The Shadows'' by Jaquline West, the main character is Olive Dunwoody. She faces challanges allthrought the book. Right now Olive is trying to figure out two things. First she has to fugure out what is so special that makes the glasses turn the paintings into life. I'd be very suspicious about that. Secondly, olive is dying to know who all the characters are afraid of except for the gorgeous young ladie in the violet room upstairs. Olive just wants to know what ''it'' is and does to be cautious.

  21. Today i read NERDS "The Villain Virus". Right now the main character is Flinch. (Flinch has super speed and super strength. He has to save the world at least one time a week with his friends, and he is only in middle school ! ) The problem Flinch faces right now, is his new school. His new school is getting in his way of saving the world, unlike his old school. Unlike his old school, he can't get any excuses to get out of class to save the world, and that is bad. Also his world saving group wants him to lead the group, and he is doing horrible leading.
