Blog #8 Due: Monday 10/25/10

Hope you enjoyed your long weekend!
Think about your current book and decide what your Author's Purpose is for writing (entertain, inform, persuade, explain). With your Author's purpose in mind, what is your Author's Point-of-view on a topic in your book? If you get stuck think about the video clips we watched in class last week. Remember to include Book title, author, and current page number. Your response must be 5 sentences and do not forget to comment at least twice on other posts.

Now Alex has to face Scorpia again, but this time he has help from his godfather who is the head of an organization called Nake Head, who is there to take down Scorpia(read from the back of the book).

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my book.It's by J.K. Rowling and I'm on page 121. The author's purpose for writing this book is to entertain. Her point of view on Lord Voldemort is negative. She thinks he is a bad person,and so do I, and she thinks that he doesn't deserve to live in this world. Lord Voldemort, in her opinion, is an evil powerful man, she doesn't, not even once, refer to him in a good way.

The book I am reading is The Lemonade War. The author is Jacqueline Davies and I am on page 31. My authors purpose is to entertain because it is a really entertaining book in my opinion. M y authors point of view is to Lemonade stands is to have a competition with his/her brother. I think so because they have a fight with their sibling then end up having a competition on who has the most money at the end of summer vacation.

The current book I'm reading is called Willow Run. The author is Patricia Reilly Giff. I just finished the book. I think the authors purpose is to entertain. The authors point of view is the power of the friendship between the two main characters, Meggie and Lily.

Pg.170
My authors purpose for writing this story is to entertain. the book is entertaining because it is an adventure book that grips the reader by using cliffhangers on each chapter. I think the author has a very strong point of view. i think he feels that you should fight for what you want and you should search for answers. he does this by making the main character Akira search for what made her brother get into a coma in "The World".

Gcosta3 said...

aadusiaw3
That sounds like a fun book i'll have to read it!

Gcosta3 said...

That sounds like a strange book ,but it also sound cool I'll look for it next time I'm in the library.

I just currently finished reading my book. It is called I Know It's Over by C.K Kelly Martin. The author's purpose was to inform and explain. I believe this because in the story the main character Nick gets his ex-girlfriend Sasha pregnant and they are only 16 years old. So in the book she has an abortion and they are describing how this should have never happened and that an abortion was the only way they could go about this problem, but they didn't wanna be those people who kill children because they are a problem. The author's point-of-view is that teenage pregnancy is not a smart choice and that if it does occur then there are multiple ways to deal with them, while still being under stress.

Kfundenburg4 said...

aadusiaw3,
your book seems kinda interesting, but not the type of book for me.

Kfundenburg4 said...

ekeck4,

kjames2 said...

The book that i'm reading is ,the skin i'm in.I'm on page 116 chapter 21.The author is Sharon G. Flake.And her purpose is to persuade.Sharon's trying to let you know that hanging with bullies does'nt make or brake you.And that you should always be you regardless of who likes it through Maleeka.

I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The author is J.K. Rowling and I am on page 176. I think the author's Purpose is to entertain. Also I think that the author's point-of-view on Harry is positive. She believes in him and she knows that Harry will get through everything thats happening to him if he believes he can.

gfleck3 said...

ekeck4
That's one of the best books in the series!

gfleck3 said...

Gcosta3
That book seems interesting.

kmedero2 said...

The book I am reading is called I so Don't do Mysteries by Barrie Summy. I am currently on page 97. The Author's purpose of writing this book is to entertain because it grabs the readers attention and makes the book fun to read. The Authour's point-of-view is that if you set your heart on something you can accomplish it if you work hard and push yourself as Sherry does to be with her mom and help her figure out the mystery.

kmedero2 said...

kfundenburg4,
That sounds like a good book.

kmedero2 said...

The book I am reading is called Peaches. The author is Ann Brashares and I am on page 38. The author's purpose in this book is to entertain. This is because it is a very funny book. In my book the author's point of view would be don't do anything bad because you will get in trouble.

I'm reading Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. I am on page 79. The author's purpouse is to enertain. I think it enertains because it doesn't inform or persuade. The author's point of view is to always be yourself.

khall2 said...

The name of my book is Nelson Mandela "No Easy walk to freedom" and the author is Barry Denenberg and i jus started the book and im on page 12.But from jus reading the little part i think that the author's purpose in my book is to explain because he's eplaining why the blacks and whites couldnt be together.

cmazza3 said...

My book is Perfect by Natasha Friend. I finished my book two days ago, and it was a good read. The author's purpose for writing this book is to entertain you the reader with a realistic story about a young girl who has issues with her body. The author's point of view is that we can overcome challenges we are faced with no matter what. In the book the authors view on Isabelle's forcing herself to throw up, is very concerned. She puts the view point from Isabelle to show how it was like to think and feel like an eighth grade girl with problems.

cmazza3 said...

mogarro2,
Your book sounds very interesting, did you enjoy it?

cmazza3 said...

Kimmy,
Your book about teenage pregnancy sounds like a very good book! Was it a good book for you to read?

twiliams3 said...

I think the authors purpose in my book would have to be inform because it gives you information about the life of Tiger Woods and how he grew up and where he grew up and when he was born ect. I think the point of view for my author would have to be he just wants to tell you a great story about a great person who made a difference in the game of golf. Another point i think the author was trying to make was that even though bad things happen yu should stand up to them and elieve in yourself.
AUTHOR:BILL GUTMAN

sdeemer2 said...

The book I am currently reading is called Queen Eleanor by Polly Schoyer Brooks. I am on page 18. The author's purpose for writing this book is to inform you. The Author's point of view is to help you get a better understanding of Queen Eleanor. Also, so you know more facts about Queen Eleanor. So, if you have to do a project on her you know some information about her.

sdeemer2 said...

kfundenburg4,

tkeatley4 said...

My book is "Black Duck" by Janet Lisle. I'm on page 66. I think my books authors purpose is to entertain because the book tells about a fake person and his life. I think my author's point of view is she is interested in the rumrunning that happened during the early 1900s. i'm personally interested in it too!

tkeatley4 said...

sdeemer

I love that book! I think you'll like the sequel also.

droller4 said...

I am reading the meaning of life according to Jeremy Fink. I's say the author's purpose is probably to entertain. Because he isn't trying to explain or persuade you and certainly not trying to inform you. I am on page 84, and its had a lot of weird twists and turns, but its a pretty good book. Its kind of suspicious just because you don't know the entire plot. Its being given to you in smaller portions as you read the book.

Droller4 said...

Tkeatly, your book sounds interesting and kind of strange from what you've tole me.

Droller4 said...

Tfisher, Sounds weird, and somewhat scary.

ebowers4 said...

The authors purpose in So B. It was to enertain. The authors point of view is somethings you just cant know. The title of my book is So B. It. It is by Sarah Weeks. I have finished the book.

My book is Charlie the Champion of the World. I am on page 161 and it's written by Roald Dahl. The authors purpose is to entertain you he puts alot of comedy in the book. One thing that he talks about is poaching.He writes that it is very fun but also dangerous. He even takes his son out one night.

Jdean said...

scrossley4 said...

I am reading Takeoffs and Landings by Margaret Peterson Haddix I am on page 29. Right now I am think the author wrote this book to entertain you.I think the author thinks it is important for family's to know each other.In my book the family dont know each other.It seems like it is a bad family the mom dont know her own children.

scrossley4 said...

aadusiaw3, thats sounds interesting.I do agree with you the author does seem like he wrote it to entertain

scrossley4 said...

kmedero2, that book sounds interesting. I will check it out and I agree with you.

kBroome4 said...

The book i am reading is called the boy who dared, it is written by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. I am on page 153. I think this book was written to inform. This book is telling how the hollocaust was seen through the eyes of a teenage boy. I also think the purpose may be to entertain, even though it's telling about history it's also a story. This book is sad and depresing but it is well written.

kBroome4 said...

Gcosta3
That book sounds really cool!!!

ale4 said...

The book i am reading is Bruce Lee by Rachel A. Koestle-Grack. Im on page 28. I think the author purpose is to inform. Her point of view is she thinks Bruce Lee is an amazing Martial arts legend.

There are seven books and eight movies; the last book had to be put into two movies because it is so long.

llindsey3 said...

The book I just finished reading is "Begging for change" and it's by Sharon G Flake. The author's purpose was to entertain and persuade. I think it's to persuade because even though Rasberry steals from her friend it is trying to persuade people to forgive people no matter what they may do to you. I also think it is to entertain because she talks about having a crush on Sato and their love affair.

llindsey3 said...

@kjames2,
Omg girl the book i just finished reading was by Sharon G flake too.

kbennett3 said...

The book I was reading is called God don't play. It's by Mary Monroe. I'm currently done with the book. The authors purpose for writing the book is to entertain with a book about drama. Her point on the tormentor is bad. She feels the Tormentor has no life and is trying to destroy everything she built.

kbennett3 said...

mbooth3 said...

My book is Watership Down by Richard Adams. I am currently on page 116. The author's purpose in my book is to entertain. He shows this by telling a story of rabbits who leave their home to find a new one. One of point of view of the author is that you need a good leader to guide you to your goal and you need to work as a team. This is shown because the rabbits would have given up numerous times, but with Hazel in charge, he reminded them that they needed to work together and he kept telling them he would make sure everyone survived.

mbooth said...

Gcosta3,
Your book sounds very interesting and somewhat strange.

mbooth3 said...

apinkney3 said...

The book i'm currently reading is called "can't stop the shine" written by Joyce E. Davis. currently i'm on page 115 and it is so intresting already!I think te aurthors purpose for writing this was to entertain. I say this because the main Character Kai; is entered in a singing contest but, ever since then her sister Mari has been acting diffeent. Also i think it's to inform you about what the wwrong freinds can do to you.

apinkney3 said...

aadusiaw3,

lkarstrom3 said...

I'm still reading Ruined by Paula Morris. I’m on page 155. I think the author’s purpose for writing this book is to entertain. It’s entertaining because it’s mainly a race against time to find out what "they" (the name of the popular people in the book) are doing in the cemetery at night. I think the authors point of view and trust yourself because all Rebecca does is trust herself, like when she was running and had to jump over a wall to get away from the police she told her that everything would be okay and that she believed she could do it and she made it without a scratch.

lkarstrom3 said...

@gcosta,
i have noticed the all the books you read are creepy.

lrkarstrom3 said...

@aadusiaw3,
i know kids puy up lemonade stands for money...but do you think they should really be fighting over it?

bwalton2 said...

The current book I'm reading is called The Education Of Little Tree. I am currently on page 8. The author's purpose of this story is to inform you about Little Tree. This is because in the title it says The Education of so it makes me think that it's going to inform you. the author of my book is Forrest Carter.

tirwin3 said...

I am reading Escaping the Giant Wave. The book is by Peg Kehret. I am currently on page 104. The authors purpose in the book is to entertain and to inform. I believe this because in the book the main characters Kyle and Bee Bee are at their hotel alone and a Tsunami strikes when this happens the story becomes very suspenseful they also get stuck in a fire and much more but it is also to inform because they are warning you and preparing you how to do thing in life you might need later. My book teaches a lot of life lessons and I recommend it to anyone who wants to read it because you most likely will love it!

tirwin3 said...

abonacci4 said...

The book that I just finished is called The Book of Time III: The Golden Circle. The author is Guillaume Prevost. I think that the authors purpose is to entertain the reader and to inform the reader a little bit about history. The author's point of view is that if you work hard enough you can acheive your goals most of the time...
I really enjoyed my book and I am going to do a Mini Project on it and hopefully get it done on time to turn it in on Tuesday.

abonacci4 said...

I finished the book, Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp. I think the author wrote the book to entertain. It has alot of action and fighting. It's funny, and has alot of puns. That's what I think the authors purpose was for writing it.

djknowles3 said...

djknowles3, The book I am reading is called "Quake." The author's name is Gail Langer Karwoski, and I'm on page 80 and I'm very close to finishing the book. I think that the author's purpose was to entertain the reader. I know this because the story is pretty much drama and action which is usally done to entertain.

I just finished Best Friends for Never.By Lisi Harrison. I believe her purpose is to entertain you about a teenager,Claire, who wants to be popular. But it takes a while to be friends with Massie, the prettiest, most wealthy kid in school. Claire really wants to be friends with the popular girls she just doesn't know how.

asheehan3 said...

My book is called "This Lullaby." It is by Sarah Dessen and I'm done with the book! This book was really good! I think the author's purpose in writing the book is to entertain and inform readers about some teenager's life! This book is about a high school teenager with boy and family problems. Her mom is on her 4th marriage, and her brother is dating some girl that Remy, main character, does not like. Remy's dad left the family alone since Remy was born. Remy meets a guy and she thinks he is not worth it. But he thinks they are meant to be. Read the book and find out if Remy and Dexter, the boy, are meant to be or not meant to be.

Mrs. Thomas!

aouellette3 said...

I just finished the LastSong by Nicholas Sparks. I think that this book was to inform you. This book taught alot of lessons trought the book and it was to inform you that love is very inpotant and you cant take it for granted. Life isnt something to play around with. These are the two main points this book brings out to inform us about it. The book entertains to. It finds ways to put humor into the book but then it knows how to inform aswell.

aouellette3 said...

bwalton2,
your book seems different.

aouellette3 said...

Djohns2,
thats a give away. ahaha

hfundenburg4 said...

My book is called Eggs. THe author is Jerry Spinelli. I am on page 173. The author's purpose is to entertain. The author's point of view is that you should always stick with your friend and never let them go, even if you fight a lot.

I heard from a lot of people that that book was really good. I kind of want to read it now.

jbills3 said...

Name: The People of Sparks
Author: Jeanne Duprau
Page: 114

The Author of my book's purpose doesn't reveal itself until you get about where I am in the book. I think the purpose is to entertain and inform. I think it's to entertain because it's a fantasy novel. But I also think it's to inform us about how the current situation (Post-Apocalypse) in my book could actually happen in real life one day.

jbills3 said...

~aouellette3

I think I read your book in 3rd or 4th grade!

hfundenburg4 said...

Your book sounds fun to read and I might read it later during the year.

rstraub2 said...

I just began a new book called " The green glass sea" by Ellen Klages.
I am on page 32.
So far I think the Author wrote this book to inform the reader.
The reason is because the Author informs us how the 11 year old girl feels like when she is goin to see her dad after on year.
It is also to inform because it talks about the war that is going on.

rstraub2 said...

ekeck04,
That is a good book!
enjoy it

rstraub2 said...

kfundenburg4,
That sounds like a good book!
I want to read it:)

jbills3 said...

I might have read that book before, it seems cool.

llarson4 said...

I think the authors purpose of Moby Dick is to inform.The reason being is because the author informs us about what the ship and its' crew went through to find Moby Dick.The author in my mind thinks that hard work equals rewards.The title is Moby Dick. The author is Herman Melville.I'm currently done with the book.

ayoung3 said...

The title of my book is Tears of a Tiger. The author is Sharon M. Draper. I am currently on page 55. I believe that the author's purpose was to entertain people on realistic things in life. Also to inform teenager not to drink and drive. I think that the authors point of view is that death could be a terrible thing and not to take life for granted because it doesnt matter how old you are, death could still come your way.

ayoung3 said...

Ekeck4,

However, since the author is showing that every thing has life and to keep living they mneed enery. I am on page 137 and the author that wrote thins book is Jack London.

acepeda3 said...

ekeck4

lbrown4 said...

I am now reading Someone to love Anne Schraff and I'm on the last chapter. My book in my opinion is to entertain the audience. The author's point-of-view is Someone can only change if they change in their heart. The main character is Cindy is going through a heard time with her mother. Her mother has a boyfriend who emotionally abuse Cindy when her mom isn't paying attention. Now Cindy is dating a boy who physically abused her bestfriend Jamee and Cindy thinks he really change, when he's back to his old ways. He's just putting on a big front.

lbrown4 said...

Swindle

The book Imp reading is swindle by Gordon Korman. The authors’ purpose for writing this book is to entertain its readers. In the book it tells me how to sneak out of house and it has jokes all through out the book that’s why this book is cool

My book is Pretty Little Liars. The author is Sara Shepard.I am currently done with the book. The author's purpose for writitng this is to entertain. I think this because the book is filled with girl drama and problems. The author's point of view is that no matter how much drama there is you can still have a fun time with your friends.
