Last week we focused on Author's Perspective (opinion & values). Please discuss one perspective your author has about a topic/idea based on the details from your book.
For example, The author of A Day No Pigs Would Die obviously cares about animals. We know this because in chapter 4 and 5, Robert is shown caring for and bonding with Pinky.
What can you tell about the author based on you book? Make sure you include specific examples, the title and author of your book and what page you are currently on.

The book I am reading is Lucky by Rachel Vail. I am on page 58. One perspective from the author is worrying about her and her friends end of the year school party. She is worried because one of her friends hasn't payed any of her money. Phoebe just doesn't know what to say to her.

I am reading Perfect by Natasha Friend. I am currently on page 35. One perspective the author takes in this book is about her issues with her body. She is worried about her weight because her dad just died and her mom cries, and her sister just won’t leave her alone. So Isabelle eats so much food her belly is about to burst, then she goes to the bathroom and pukes it all back up. She does this to deal with the stress of her father; this is her way of cooping with it.
lmehan4,
Your book sounds very interesting. Hopefully her friend will pay her the money.
sdeemer2,

Swindle BY:Gordan Korman
PG.DONE
I know that the author loves animals in my book. he loves animals because in the book he talks about saving an animal. in the book he mentions different types of animals and how smart they are. he also tells how animals should be treated fairly. he's opinion is that people who steel animals should go to jail! he hated it when Mr.Natase stole a poor defencless little girls monkey.

That seems like a strange story i hope she gets better.
I am currently reading I Know Its Over by:C.K Kelly Martin. I am on page 135. One perspective in my book is that the main character, Nick, doesn't like kids. He hates his little sister Holland and he gets hid girlfriend pregnant and then dumps her. Once they knew she was pregnant he wanted to get an abortion or have the "Morning After Pill." It was obvious at this point in the book that he didn't want to have a kid and he never plans to.

Well I heard about Twilight and my mom is obsessed with the books and the movies. I honestly don't like either of them.
sdeemer2,
You are reading a "Dog?" That is funny i thought we were supposed to be reading books:)
Title: The House on the Gulf
Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix
Page Number: 55
I think the purpose of my book is to entertain. My book has a very suspenseful atmosphere. It's always talking about how strange the house is. Brandon is acting really strange according to his sister. I'm only on page 55 so much hasn't happened yet, though.
~kfundenburg
Wow your book sounds crazy.
~sdeemer2
Your book seems interesting.
The book I am reading is Alfred Krop. I am on page 9. The purpose of my book is definately to entertain. The whole book is based on saving the world, and Alfred doesn't really fit in with anyone. He is kind of a nerd at school and doesn't have many friends.
I'm reading Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling. One of the perspectives from the author is that she doesn't want anything to happen to Harry during the challenges he faces.

Thousand Sons
pg.360
The author's perspective is that he believes that if there is something greater than you, dont mess around with it too much, because the consiquences can and will be dire.
The book I am reading is called scat, the autor is Carl Hiaasen and i am on page 119. My book is to entertain. It is all about how one science teacher goes missing, and this one strange boy who is the main suspect of the teacher going missing. Also the other two main characters are trying to figure out what is going on. They end up thinking the science teacher is a witch. All clues point to that the science teacher is on a family emergency but she has no family.

that book sounds good.
I am reading the book Summer Ball by Mike Lupica and I am on pg 40. In this book Danny Walker is in high school but is very short for his age but still is one of the best basketball players in the state. I think that the authors perspective is that nothing should ever get in the way of your dreams no matter if your tall or not.
The book i am reading is So Toatlly Emilyh Embers by Lisa Yee. one prespective from the author is worring about her mom and dad getting divorced and she having to move from her father to another state. She is worried because she thinks no one will like her in her new school.

I am reading the book Hoot. The authors perspective is that there are endangered owls that need help and these kids rescue them. I think the point he is trying to show people is that no matter how old you are you can make a difference in the world.
the book i am reading is the fire within.. i am on page 23. the author likes dragons because there is alot of dragons in this persons house.
The author of my book "hatchet" is gary paulsen and by reading a few of his books he seems to enjoy nature. The series is about a boy lost in the wild and i've also read some other books by him as well however i can't remember the titles off hand.

Hoot seems like a good book ill check it out later. :0
the book i am reading is wild girls by pat murphy. one perspective is that she doesnt care what people think about her. one way of showing that is she puts lip stick on her face using it as "war paint". another perspective is that shes adventurious. one way of showing that is by saying that she goes down a long tunnel trying to find where it ends and finds the ending of it.
kfundenburg3 sounds pretty cool
The author of Once Upon a Marigold wrote this book to show love at first sight can really happen, and love counqours all. I can tell this because when Marigolds mom wont allow Marigold to marry Chris, Marigold finds a way. I can tell that the author is big on love. I was reading Once upon a Marigold and I finished the book in 3rd period.
I am reading The Truth About Santa Clause. I am on page 13. One perspective from the author is that he wants people to know the truth about Santa and know how he came to be the fat guy we know of today.

I love that book. I have read all of them.
I am readig Danny the Champion of the World. I am on page 33. In my book Danny's dad is a poacher and the author tells many stories about how he got into it. I think he feels that it is lots of fun but that it is a very bad hobbie because it's illegal and dangerous.
kfundenburg4,
sounds pretty good.
I just finished Eagle Strike on the Alx Rider sieries in just one day. Now I am on the next book on the sieries called Scorpia. The ending of Eagle Strike was that Yassen Grecovich said as he was dying that Alex's fahter (who saved Yassen's life) was a contract killer.

It was over 300 pages
eswanson
I have read that book and really enjoyed it.
T fishers sounds good
i don't like twilight
kfundenburg4,
that sounds like a really good book.
The previous book i was reading, in which was The Last Song i could tell the author cares about family and cherishing the times with them. I know this because he takes this All American girl and takes her through her parents divorcing and blaming her dad for their divorce. Then while she spends the summer with him she treats him like dirt and disrespects him a lot. When her dad dies she realizes that she could played the piano with him and did more things to remember of him. Now that it's too late she regrets it very much.
S deemer sounds cool and interesting
gcosta3
Your boook sounds very interesting and i also like animals.
The book i am reading is called Burning Up. It's by Carolone B and i am curtenly on page 101. One example of the author's perspective is that the author is worried that something bad happend to the barn that used to be her great grandparents. I can tell tell that the author is mysterious. And that she also likes being brave and taking risks.
The book I am reading is So Totally Emily Embers by Lisa Yee. One prespective from the author is worring about her mom and dad getting divorced and she having to move from her father to another state. She is worried because she thinks no one will like her in her new school.

the book i am currently reading is heat by mike lupica and i am currently on page 33 and my opinion is that the authors really cares about baseball kids in there dreams of one day playing in the world series for kids or the world series for MLB. like when shows us the kid is always in yankee stadium dreaming to play in there one day.
lmehan4,

The book I am reading is called " of the Dust" by karen Hesse.I am on page 62. One perspective that the Auther has is that she is really woried about her mom. The reason is because her mom is about to have a baby. The days are geting harder and harder and they are runing out of food. So everyday the little girl tries to do her best to help her mom and her family out with everything she can.
kyoung2,

the book im reading is the battle of the labyrinth. the author is Rick Riordan. im on page 18 i just started. the authors perspective is that it cares about myths. it does because it has myth charcters and it has powers.
kyoung2, that book sounds intresting. what is it about?
ale4, that book sounds like it has avery good perspective.
Im am reading The Boy Who Dared By Susan Campbell Bartoletti.I am on page 55. The perspective of the author is wanting to let world know of this boys story and what he had to go through being a child in the holocaust. I think the author feels really bad about all the bad things that happend to Helmuth and all the things he had to go through. I also think that she might be even be a little proud of Helmuth, Helmuth did not believe in every thing Hitler believed in so he fought back. He went to prison for it but he fought for what he believed in.
cmazza3
Ehh the book sounds good, but kind of disturbing also.
kfundenburg
Well Kimmy that sounds wonderful! -sarcastic- Thats really mean
The book I am currently reading is Series of Unfortunate Events - The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket. I am on page 117. One perspective of the author would be that having somebody you love die is a very tragic event. This is shown when the Baudelaire children become orphans when their parents die in a fire and when their uncle is killed by Count Olaf. They continue having misery in their lives and when ever something good is happening, somebody they love dies.
gcosta3,
Your book sounds very interesting I want to know what happened to the monkey.
The book I'm currently reading is called Billy creekmore and it is one of the sunshine state reader books. I think that the authors purpose is to inform the reader about child labor, while entertaining the reader. One event that happens in the book is, when billy is out at night when he isn't supposed to. He sees a boy in the woods and when they talk Billy finds out about how terrible the glass factory is. The boy even shows Billy his hand that had been burned by the glass and barely had any fingers left and the rest of of his hand looked terrible.
I am currently on page 15 and the aouthor is Tracy Porter. I have enjoyed the book so far.
eswanson4,

I want to read that book but my parents won't let me because they want to read it first to make sure it is safe for me to read.
The book i am reading is double identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
I am on page 103. One perspective the author has in this book is that everything is possible. In the book all sorts on weird and unexplained things happened to her. For instance, she dosen't even know her real name.
gcosta3,
thats a good book. I read it lastyear.
eswanson4,

djknowles3, The book that I am currently reading is called "Quake." The author's name is Gail Langer Karwoski. Im on page 14, it's actually pretty good. I think the authors purpose is that good things will come to you if you wait. I know this because in chapter 1 his father always is telling his son how the family doesn't need a pet, but his son "Jacob" doesn't give up hope. Later in chapter 2, he gets his wish.

mbooth3, There was 3 books, right?
gfleck3, Was that the third Harry Potter book?
The book i am reading is The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks and im currently on 380.
The perspective the author has on this book is the bond between a daughter and father is important. Ronnie and her father dont get along in the beginning but they find out in the end he was just what she needed. The author also obviously likes music and if you have true talent dont waste it, on something much more less important then something you love.
llindsey3,
your book sounds really good, and i hope your enjoying it.

I am reading The Missing:Book 2 Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I am page 24, this is apart of a series. I can tell she wrote this book about time traveling. Before the book started they explained the first book, which I read. Both of the books is about time traveling.So the authors pupose is time traveling. I think she is saying that it is a bad thing to do.
sdeemer2,that sounds interesting I will read a book like that. I would like to hear more about the book.
rstaub2,I can relate to the character in your book. I help my family too with all I can help them with.
I did not try to put 7 sorry
The book I was reading and just recently just finished is called A Child Called It. The author of the book is Dave Pelzer. The author's perspective is he wants his life to be like it was back in the day, when his mom didn't beet him or starve him. Also he wants his parents to work things out and become like any average family.
kfundenburg,
That sounds like an interesting but cruel book.
arhoades4,
That sounds like a good book. I might want to read it you have to let me know how it ends.
The name of the book I was reading was Bad girls dont die. I finished the book. The author's persepective is if you really love somebody and want to save them you will do everything in your power to help them. Even if that means you get harmed in the process. Also that there's no love powerful than family love.
llindsey3
that book sounds good, especially since i love mystery books
kmedero2
I love that book. It really made me think about how bad he had it.
The book im reading is skulduggery pleasent by Derek Landy.im on page 200 and my book is awesome. One of the perspectives is being really mysterious. Because if you look at it, all his characters are really weird and you always want to know more about them,but they never tell you.
lmehan4, That book is probally realistic fiction because i know people in that situation.
cmazza3,that book is about people being depressed angry and belemic.
My book is called "Do Not Pass Go." The author is Kirkpatrick Hill. I am on p.231. I can tell the author doesn't like jail and believes that some "criminals" are not as bad as most think. We know this because Deet (the main character) is always getting information from is father in jail that "criminals" are not so bad. One man is in jail for murder, but he is one of the nicest people that Deet's dad knows.
abonacci4,
sounds sad, poor boy.

I hear that is a popular book series.
The book I'm reading is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I'm on page 74.One perspective is that he was alone. He was alone in a roaring plane. Trapped with no place to land.

sdeemer2,
I do like puppies maybe I should read that sometime.
The title of the book that i'm reading is,The skin i'm in. The author is Sharon G. Flake.The page that i'm on is 61 chapter 12.Sharon's Perspective on the book is that you should be youslef regardless of what people think.An example is when,Maleeka goes to get a haircut thats on the front of her Fav. mags. because it's in style and noone like it.
@KMedero2
HeY don't forget to let me read it once you are done kay!!!
@KBennette3
that's sounds awesoMme gIrL!
the book that i am reading is runaway by wendelin van draanen and i am on page 163. one author's perspective in my book is that the author does not really like spoiled or bratty kids. because in the book the author or character always mentions "O she looks like a brat or is spoiled ." so i think that the author is a hard worker and did not get it easy in life.
tfowler3,
i read the first and third one. tried to read the second but it got really boring.
aquest4,
how many pages are those books because they look pretty thick
The book i am reading is Finn by Katharine Jay Bacon.I am on page 171. One perspective in my book is that the main character, Finn, lost his family by airplane accident. he lost many things from accident. He always dream nightmare because got an impact.
The book I am reading is Secrets in the Shadow. The main character is Roylin Bailey and the author is Anne Schraff. I haven't found anything from the author's perspective yet. I'm only on page 12. So as I progress in this book I will probably find more thing in the author's prespectiive.
I am reading Ruined by Paula Morris. I'm on page 110. I think the authors perspective is don't break the rules or they will break you. I think this because Rebecca (main character)secretly went to the cemetery after her aunt told her not to. Resulting in the fact that her aunt caught her and grounded her. Now she is hanging/crushing on the guy named Anton, who Rebecca's aunt doesn't like. I wonder if Rebecca will get caught? Let me know what you will happen.
kjames2
I like the author's perspective in your book because it is very true.

Your book sounds amazing. Tell me more about it when you finish the book.
The book I am reading is Pretty Little Liars. The author is Sara Shepard. I am done with the book. The authors perspective is too cherish the moments you have with your best friends. I think that is the perspective beacuse there are 5 best friends and one of them disappeared so they all split up and dont talk for 3 years. Once they all meet up again they all talk about how much they miss there friend and how she disapperared.

In my book breakdown, by K.A. Applegate.One perspective she has on this book is that she talks about made up animals in the book that are related to the animals that she likes in real life. For example, she writes about alot of weird aliens like spiders and insects, and she loves to write books called Amorphids. A series that talks about kids that transform into weird animals of all types.
The book I am reading is pictures of hollis woods. I am on page 57. One perspective from the author is confused about everything. She is confused because she doesn't go to school and she hangs out with two familys.
lmehan4,
Sounds good!
sdeemer2,
I read that when I was only 9 and that is an awesome book!
The author of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" really cares about his family. I know this because in the end of the book he is given a opportunity to live with Mr.Wonka in his factory.He turns him down because he doesnt want to leave his family.The author is "Roald Dahl". The title is "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm on page 142.
lmehan4,
It sounds like good book.
sdeemer2,
It sounds sweet and caring.
A perspective in my book would be not to be racis and that racism isn't right. i am reading tiger wood: a biography by bill gutman i have currently finished the book. An example in my book would probably be when tiger was just one hi dad used to take him to a golf course in California and while teaching his son the ropes of golf a mabn walked up to him and said there aren't any coloreds allowed here so therefore Earl Woods and his son lefts and had to find a new golf course just to teach his son how to play. Another example would be when tiger went pro and was going to play at this place in aulstralis i believe and when he got there the owner told him that they also did not allow black people but since the PGA was paying for all of this the owner had no choice but to let Tiger play on his course.
I think my author is very interested in the rumrunnig that happened when alcohol was banned. I can tell because the story is about the Black Duck, an infamous rumrunning boat. My book is "Black Duck" by Janet Lisle, and I'm on page 25.
The book I am reading is Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. The authors perspective is the great saying "whats done in the Dark comes to light", and to always tell the truth.
In the book im reading my author feels asif they dont belong anywhere. she has a hard time finding the right family, butwhenshe finally finds a foster mom she likes she relizes what true family is.
The book I am reading is called Eggs. The author is Jerry Spinelli. I just started the book so I am on page 34. One perspective in my book is don't judge a book by it's cover because david, the main character, judges a lot of things before he really gets to know what they are. The author has a lot of opions about things.
the book im reading is The Chronicles of Narnia the lion,witch,and the wardrobe.i am on page 142. the perspective of peter is out going and likes to fight he is also given a sword by a magical being.susan the second oldestlikes animals and is kind of a book smart person.Edmund is a person who is a lonly person who looks up to his older brother peter.Lucy is the person who dosnt know fact from fiction and is living in a fantacy land in her head.

I loved that book! It's a really funny book and I hope you like it too.
I would love to read that book
alex was here
My book is Escaping the Giant Wave. The author of my book, his name is Peg Kehret. I think that he includes many childhood experiences and wants you to understand from his perspective when he was little. For example in the book their are parts where the main character kyle feels scared because their is going to be a tsunami and he has feelings that I think that he wouldn't be able to explain unless he went through it in his own way! Also I am currently on page 31.
The book I am reading is white fang. The author is Jack London and I am on page 27. I think that the author of this book has a special stories told or has been dog sledding. He gives in depth detail about how scared or angry the main characters are.
My book is called "This lullaby." It's by Sarah Dessen and I'm on page 47. One perspective the author obviously has is that she says relationships have there up and downs. Maybe she has had so many relationships that she has added them into a book. All of Sarah Dessen's book are about teenage loves. Where the perspective has most support is in chapter three.
kbroome4,

The topic of my book is non fiction. Idea of my book is about sadness and war. one specific example is when the family was at a harbor and pearl harbor gets bombed and the japanese famlies were taken into custody. I'm on page ten.
cmazza3
You title sounds perfect for a perfect book.
The book I was reading was "Until We Meet Again," By Anne Scraff. I think the author's perspective of writing that book was to show that a girl has deep feelings for her boyfriend that moves away. i think this because in a part of the book the girl would get furius about him moving away. She would cry, stop doing the normaal things she did often, and she would even leave her friends.! Im currenlty done with the book.

Your book sounds lucky
My book i am reading is As Long As There Are Moutains by natalie Kinsey-Warknock. I am on page 90. The authors perspective is, I think that she wants the charecter to save there farm and get her father to not sell it. The author talks about how much the farm means to her.

The title of my book is November Blues. The author is Sharon M. Draper.I am on page 366, but this was in chapter 22. I feel like the author's perspective is that she believes in standing up fo yourself. I think this because when November and her mother went to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Prescott, they tried to win her over and take charge of the baby. November finally took the stand and let them know that she chooses whether the baby stays with her, or goes with them.
Hfundenburg4,
I used to do that a lot.
Cmazza3,
I feel like she should never be insecure about her body. She should be happy with what she has.
I just finished one of the books of the Alex Rider sieries called Scorpia 1-4 days ago and now I'm on the next book of the sieries called Ark Angel and on pg 225 and started 1-2 days ago.
