If you could be any character, who would you be?


GOOD EVENING!


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. I am currently reading, "SALT" by Helen Frost. If I could be any character in the book, I would be James. I would want to be James because he loves adventure, is kind to all, and gets to be best friends with Anikwa. Anikwa and James always go on the most fun adventures, including playing in trees. I love being outdoors, and James gets to do that all day long!

  2. I am currently reading "Mystery Ranch" by Gertrude Chandler Warner. If I could be any character in my book I would be James Henry Alden because he cares about his sister, Jane Alden, so much that he would do anything for her to make her feel better. I would do the same for my family if they were sad.

  3. I am currently reading, "WARRIORS" by Erin Hunter.If I could be any character in this book I would be Graystripe because he has a personality like mine.He always has a positive attitude to go on new adventures. Graystripe is always working hard outdoors as a cat in the forest. I wonder what its like when I leave my cat here and no one is home? Graystripe and me are alike because I love playing outdoors and climbing trees with my friend and Graystripe is a forest cat and enjoys it!

  4. I just finished the book ''Wonder'' by R.J. Palacio. If I could be any character in the book, I would be Summer. I would want to be Summer because she is a true friend to Auggie. She chose to be his friend because she wanted to - not because the principal told her to. Summer proves that she has integrity throughout this book, and that is an important quality to me.

  5. In the book, "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George, I would want to be Sam because he is adventurous and courageous. For example, he needs a falcon to hunt. So, he finds a falcon and sees its nest on top of a high cliff. He climbed the cliff and took one of the baby falcons. The mother falcon was swooping down at him, but when she got to her nest she could not count. She saw some of her baby birds there and thought she still had all of her babies. In this story, Sam is like a daredevil. I can relate to him because I have done some daring things. I can't wait to finish this book.

  8. I am reading the book ''Zane and the Hurricane'' by Rodman Philbrick. if I could be any character in the book, I would be Bandit Zane's dog. I would be Bandit because I would love to be a dog, dogs usually can't understand people so no one would get mad at me for accidentally knocking something over, and I would be small and fast.

  11. I am currently reading "The People of Sparks" by Jeanne DuPaul, and I'd be Torren. I'd be Torren because he can be disheveled at times, and I can also be unorganized. Torren is also impatient at times, and if I was living his life, I'd also be. Third, he has to have less food each day, and if that was me, I'd also be unhappy. Last, Torren kinda reminds me of myself, and I think that it;s always good to have a connection with characters.

  19. I just read the book "Percy Jackson, The Sea of Monsters" by Rick Riordan. I would want to be Annabeth, a secondary character, because she is very smart and gets to go on lots of adventures to save the world. Annabeth goes on a quest through the sea of monsters (aka the Bermuda Triangle) with Percy to save her friend Grover and find the Golden Fleece. Camp Half-Blood's magical tree is dying and she needs the fleece to save it. Annabeth is a born leader and a lot of the campers look up to her.

  29. If I could be any character in any book I would be Sam from "My side of the mountian" by Jean Craighead George. I would be Sam because he survives in the wilderness and he (kinda) has a pet Paragon Falcon named Frightful. I think it would be cool to survive in the wild because you can have your own lifestyle and no one would judge you. Also, it would be cool to have a pet bird because it would make a great companion and it would help hunt. All in all, I would like to be Sam because he survives in the wild and has a Paragon Falcon. It would be awesome being Sam, but I'm just happy being me!!! ;)

  36. I am currently raeding" Rain Reign." If I could choose a character I want to be, I would be the dog,Rain. Rain is was a stray dog until he was found by Rose's dad near where he worked. Rose named Rain,Rain because he was found while it was raining. I would want to be Rain because he is sweet,a good listener,and super smart. Rain is always kind to kids and does not hurt people,never ignore people,and knows when the dad is mad so that he does not bother him. I always thought of being a dog and having a nice owner because I always been nice to dogs. I am always a good listener like Rain.
