Last week we focused on Comparing and Contrasting different text. I want you to use the book you are currently reading and the last book you read to find 2 comparisons and 2 contrasts(differences). List the title, author, and current page number of the book you are currently reading. Also, list the book that you are using to compare and contrast your current book with. Remember your response must be at least 5 sentences and you must comment twice to get full credit.

I really dont remember the last book I was reading but I remember The Palace Of Mirros by Margret Peterson Haddix. The book I am currently reading is Telling Christina Goodbye by Lurlene Mcdaniel. I am going to compare and contrast these to books. Both of the main characters both need to find their true identy and judge people in a different way. One character loses their best friend forever and one character in the old book finds out her best friend who is a boy loves her. I am on page in Telling Christina Goodbye.
The last book I read was diary of a wimpy kid, the book I am currently reading is Harry Potter. Harry potter is written by J.K rowling. Diary of a winpy kid is written by Jeff Kinney.In my current book im on page 20. The two books have many differences and few similarities. For example, in my opinion, Diary of a Wimpy Kid has a lot more humor than Harry Potter. Greg (from Diary of a Wimpy kid) talks about the horrible life he but manages to keep it funny and exiting. While in Harry Potter, Harry is fighting agianst vouldemort, which is more intense and excitin, but not much humor.
House of dark shadows
Pg:47
The last book i read was the sommening by Kelly armstrong and the book im reaDING NOW IS house of dark shadows by: robert Liparado. both of the books are dark and the main character can see ghost. two contrast are the main character of my old one was a boy and the main character of my new one is a girl. In the sommening the girl has the power to bring back the dead and in house of dark shadows he can only see them. i liked my old book more than tmy new book.
The book I am currently reading is Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I am currently on page 44. The last book I read was The Series of Unfortunate The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket. One similarity between these books are that one of the main characters is a guy. Another similarity is that books are involved. In 451 books are burned and in Austere Academy Klaus researches Count Olaf's plans with books. Differences include that 451 is somewhat futuristic and Austere Academy is more present. In 451 the main character is a fireman and in Austere Academy the main characters are orphans.
@Gcosta3...Robert Liparado is a really good author! I really like the book Timescape! Good Job!
@mbooth3... That sounds like a good book. I think im going to have to read it some day.
The book I am reading is Vlad Todd Eight Grade bites by Heather Brewer and I am on page 98. I am using True Believer as my comparison book.
Comparisons:
They both involve some type of tragety. they both involve love.
Contrast:
One main charachter in Vlad Todd is a vampire. The story True Believer involves adults not teens.
mbooth3,
I love those books! I have read them all!
gcosta3
I have heard that is really good. My cousin read them.
Two comparisons in the book i am rwading now and the book i currently had read are that in both of hem the man chracters are being hunted down and threatened to be killed. Another comparioson between both the books is that the maion chracters have so much to handle such as being the oldest in the family, fighting for their lives(literally), and dealing with a relationship on top off all of that. Two contrasts is a difficult one. I would say one contrast betweemn both the books is that one involves man eating werewolves(called erasers in the book) and the other involves serial killing robots. Another contrast between the books would probabaly be that in one of the books one of the main chracters family members are kidanpped and experimented on and in the other the one that was experimented on in the first book betrayed the main chracter,(max) and nearly got her killed.

Gcosta03, your book sounds really good and scary and I hope you enjoy it and the next one after that, and the next one after that, and the next one after that, and thenext one after that,etc.
mogarro, I have nheard of tha book and it really funny and i hope that you enjoy it and the rest of the sreies.
The book I am currently reading is called The Fight, and i am on page 135. The book i was reading last week was called Rommiette and Julio. Well two things the book have in common is that; The main characters have lots of drama in there life after meeting a boy. Another one is that both the girls mother figures are very strong and courageouse. The differences is that one book doesnt have gangs at there school, and one main character isn't really popular.
mogarro2,
I really like the diary of wimpy kid books.
mbooth3,
Your books sound very depressing.
The book I am currently reading is the City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau and I am on page 250. The last book that I read was Searching for David's Heart. One similarity is that Amanda (in searching for David's heart) is looking for something and in the city of ember Doon and Lena are looking for something. Another thing that is the same is that they both had a sibling. Two things that are different are that Lena and Doon are trying to find a way out of the city and in, Searching for David's heart Amanda is looking for David's heart. Also, that one takes place in Miami and the other is under ground.
ebowers4,
Sounds good!
scrossley4,
Sounds good!
The book that i am currently reading is Ransom by Lois Duncan and the page that i am currentlty on is page 123. The book that i am comparing today is a book called i know what you did last summer. They are alike because they are both mystery and they are both about kidnappers. And they both have suspense. They ar edifferent in the way that there is murder in i know what you did last summer and just a kidnapping in ransom.
i am currently reading jerry spinelly smiles to go i am on page222 the last book i read is hurricane season by jerry spinelly.one compare is that one girl like two guys. and another is that the girl like one guy more.
The last two books I read were The haunting of derek stone city of the dead and the bayoue and the haunting of derek stone the red house and the ghost road. I finshed the second book. The author is Tony Abbott. Two comparisons are they both talk about how Dreek was suppose to close the rift. And what translation was. Two contrasts are K was not in the first book. And In the second book Derek finds out that he's not only Derek.

House of dark shadows
Pg:47
The last book I read was the summoning by Kelly Armstrong and the book I’m reading NOW IS house of dark shadows by: Robert Liparado. Both of the books are dark and the main character can see ghost. Two contrasts are the main character of my old one was a boy and the main character of my new one is a girl. In the summoning the girl has the power to bring back the dead and in house of dark shadows he can only see them. i liked my old book more than my new book.
Gcosta3,
Both of those books sound creepy. Hope your new book doesn't get to boring.
Mbooth3,
I really like the Lemeny Snicket books i love the mystery in them i also enjoy the fun characters in the family.
apinkney3,
Is Rommiette and Julio like a tale similar to Romeo and Juliet. Just saying because the names are very similar.
The book I am reading now is farmer boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The last book I read was Smiles to Go by Jerry Spineli.Two similarites are they are both ordinary boys and the two boys are the main characters of the story. Two contrasts are one of the boys is a city boy and one is a farmer. Another is one of the boys loves space and the other lies milking cows all by himself.
mbooth3
Both books sound good from what I read
sdeemer2...
Davids heart sounds like a romantic book, i persenaly hate romantic books and love scary books.
gcosta3
Why did you like your old book better.
The last book I read was Breaking Dawn. This book is by Stephanie Meyer. I am currently reading The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I am on page 39. They are both love stories. Breaking Dawn is a little darker and fantasy while The Notebook is starting out to be a sweet love story. I think in The Notebook the main girl, Allie is smarter than Bella. First off, she goes to college instead of dropping out of high school like Bella. They are also in different time periods.
scrossley4,
That seems like a cute book!
The last book i read was Dear John and i'm currently on The Last Song both by Nicholas Sparks. One comparison is that they both take place in North Carolina. Another comparison is they both have love in them. One contrast is that The last song is from a girls point of view and Dear John is from a guys point of view. Another contrast is that Dear John takes place in like 2001 while the Last Song is in the 2009.
The book i am reading currently is sent by margaret peterson haddix and the book i read previouly was found by margaret peterson haddix. One comparison is that they both have to do with time travel and another is that they have the same characters. two differences are that sent takes place in the fifteenth century and found was more subtle and mysterious. in found you didn't know what was going to happen but in seent it's a bit more predictable. i am currently on page 52 in sent.
mogarro2,
I have read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and I love those books!
The book I am reading now is called The Secrets of Peaches. The last book I read was Leaving Paradise. One comparison is that the main characters in the book start all the drama at their school. The second comparison is that there was a relationship between a boy and a girl and they end up breaking up because they like someone else. A contrast is that one setting is in Michigan and the other is in Georgia on a peach orchard. The second contrast is that Leaving Paradise was about leaving everything behind and starting fresh. Peaches is about bringing everyone closer together so they can be the best of friends and never leave each other. The author of The Secrets of Peaches is Jodi Lynn Anderson and I am on page 33
mogarro2 drastic book switch
ebowers4 awesome book love the series
The book I am currently reading is Regarding the Fountain. I am on page 106 and the author is Kate Klise. The book I am comparing it to is Breaking Back by James Blake. In these two books, there are many similarities. One of these is they both involve a tradgedy. Also The people in both of the books travel all around the world. Two differences are one is about a famous tennis player and the other is about a fifth grade class.
ebowers4,
Both of your books sound really good!
Gcosta3,
The sommening sounds like an interesting book!
eight grade bites heather brewer and on page 74.I was reading santa paws which 2 contrasts are that the main character is a vampire in this one and he is not popular at all. But the dog is popular and its a dog.Two comparisions are that they are both in a modern world and people in the book.Also i like this book better
scrossley thats funny that you dont remember
gcosta you like dark books dont you
mbooth3,
I've never really red or heard of that bok. But i hope its good
apinkney3,
I agree on you about her book
The book I am reading is called Come Back by Caire Fontaine and Mia Fontaine. The last book I read was Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen. In am on page 166 in Come Back. Comparing and Contrasting these books are hard. Come back is a true story and Lock and Key fiction. In Lock and Key the mom runs away from her daughter and in Come Back Mia , the daughter, runs away from her mom. Also in Lock and Key Ruby leaves to live with her sister to start a better life. In Come back Mia runs away from her loving mother to live on the streets and do drugs. So one leaves for one more shot at life and the other girl leaves to leave life behind.
Gcosta3
What did you like more about the other book?
hfundenburg4
Why would the characters want to always start drama?
scrosseley4,

Also the last olympian is all greek gods and powers and the books book is all football.
rjames4, those sound like good books.
aquest4, are those good books?
The book I am reading is Sunrise Over Fallujah. I am on page 279. The auther is Walter Dean Myers. The book I was reading was called behind enemy lines. One comparison is that they are both military books. Also they both of American solders. One difference about these two books is that Sunrise Over Fallujah Is telling one story and Behind ememy lines is telling many stories. Another difference is that my old book tells stories from Revolutionary war to the Vietnam war. The book i am reading know is just telling about the Iraq.
bwagner2,
That sounds like an amazing book!
Bwagner2,

I just finished reading a book called "A light in the storm" by Amelia Martina. The book that I am reading right know is called "Here comes Heavenly" by Todd Strasser. They are both informing books, and also like a journal entery! Some diffrences are the book "a light in the storm is a war book and about politics, and the book "here comes Heavenly" is a more fun intertaning book. Both books are written by teens and they both tell bout the life they had and how it was during that time!
mbooth3
Sounds like a good book(:
ebowers
Hope your enjoying it!
twilliams03
your book sounds very interesting.
amonari2
your book sounds very mysterious and good
I am reading Torment by Lauren Kate, I am on page 103. The last book I read was Closed for the Season. Both books deal with trying to solve something, like a problem or an issue. Also they both deal with people who they lost, like family members or friends. But in Torment it is more unrealistic because there are guardian angels. In Closed for the Season there are just regular people in a small town. Also there is a love life in Torment, while not in the other book, just a murder mystery.
scrossley4,
Your book sounds very interesting, I hope that you enjoy it.
mogarro2,
Your book is a very good one, I remember reading it when I was in 5th grade.
My book is called Cryptid Hunters by Roland Smith. I am on page 204. The last book I last read was called Maximum Ride. They are both suspenseful and the genere of both of them are fantasy. One talks about bird people and the other talks about dinosaurs.
The book that I am currently reading is called "Trapped in Death cave" and it was written by Bill Wallace. I am on page 54 and it's sort of errie. The last book I read was The Halloween Tree and it had some similarties to my current book , like in both the main characters were boys and both were a scary feeling. Some differences were that one book took place all over the world and the other one took place in a small town and in a cave. Another difference is that they had different problems.
mbooth3, So your book has nothing to do with the sun?
gcosta3, That sounds a little creepy.
My book is I.Q. The author is Roland Smith. I am on page 215. In I.Q. the character Eben has the same attitude as Eminem form 8 mile. They both get in trouble too. However Eben is a Mosaad officer and Eminem is a rapper. Eben job is to kill Eminems job is to make music.
mogarro2
Those sound like two good books.
Gcosta3
Those sound like good books and you hit the cap key....just saying.
amonari2
that sounds like na good book. Do you like it?
apinkney3,
Your book sounds really cool and I would like to read it some time.
aquest4
i love those books. i read all of them!
scrossley4,
I think I've read that book before. I really enjoyed reading it.
The books I am comparing and contrasting are The Mediator and Because of Winn Dixie. One comparison they have is that they both have girls as the main character. Another is that they both eventually have problems that are solved. One difference is that they are both in different age groups. Another difference is that the mediator has more tention in it. The author of my current book is Meg Cabot. I am on page 178
The last two book I've read are Freefall and Closer. They're both from the Tunnels series. What they have in common is that they share the most of same characters and the same plot. What they have differently is that the tone in Closer is more grim-dark than Freefall. That and the addition of some new characters.
@mogarro2
that sounds interesting
@gcosta3
That book sounds cool, i might read it
The book I am currently reading is called, I so Don't do Mysteries by Barrie Summy and I am currently on page 170.
The book I so don't do Mysteries by Barrie Summy and A Child called it by David Pelzer are two totally different books. They are different in which A child Called it is a real book and I So Don't do mysteries is a fantasy/mystery book. Also they are different because I so Don’t do Mysteries Is about a teenage girl finding out who is killing the rhinos and A Child Called It is about a boy trying to survive in his own home. But they also have thing in common like they both have are interesting and entertaining. Also they are both about trying to win their mother over to any extent.
amonari2,
Those sound like good books.
sdeemer2,
That ember book sounds really good.
apickney3,
That sounds like a really good book.
mogarro2,
I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 4th grade and it was pretty good.
The book I finished reading is Tales of Beedle the Bard By J.K. Rowling. It is filled with different types of stories. I am comparing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to this book, one comparison is that there are people skilled in magic in both books. Also in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Luna Lovegood's dad tells Harry Ron and Hermione one of the stories that is in Tales of Beedle the Bard. Two differences would be that it is not in the same time period and the main characters in each book are different.
twilliams3,
I heard that series is really good.
Gcosta3,
That book sounds creepy...
The book I'm currently reading is The Wringer by Jerry Spinelli and I am on page 201. I am going to compare it with the book I last read whig was the Education of Little Tree. The differences are that the Wringer is about a boy who lives in a town where they wring (kill) pigeons. The boy in Th Education of Little Tree is a boy from the 1800's and helped his grandfather make whiskey. Another is that the boy from Wringer is a young boy who keeps a pigeon in his house and tries to keep from everyone. Only one other person knows which is heis best friend. The boy from The Education of Little Tree lives in a country area and lives up inthe mountiains with his grandparents. Two similarities are that they're both young boys who get bullied by other boys. Also they both get annoyed by the boys who bully them.
Kmedero2,
Those books sound good.
Apinkney3,
That sounds like an interesting book.
The book I'm currently reading is "Do Not Pass Go," by Kirkpatrick Hill. I'm on page 92. The last book I read, I didn't get to finish it all the way but it was "Cheater, Cheater," by Elizabeth Levy. The first part was mainly about a kid named Lucy. She wanted to get a boyfriend to take to her bestfriend's birthday party so she wounldn't be alone. The book I'm reading now is mainly about a kid named Deet. He is going through changes at the moment because his father has gotten locked up for drug use. He feels ashamed to ride the bus or go to school anymore because he thinks everyone would know and see him as a different person. A similarity of the two books is that they both deal with school in some way. Another similarity is that they are both in middle school. One difference is that One kid is a boy and the other is a girl. Another difference is that in Cheater, Cheater, the girl is trying to get a boyfriend to go to her friend's birthday party. In Do Not Pass Go, the boy faces his peers in school by going back after his dad gets locked up.
Scrossley4,
Your old book sounds very interesting, I might have to go get that. (=
Apinkney4
Your book "The Fight," seems like a good book to read, NEXT.!
The author of my current book is The Titans Curse by Rick Riordan and my last book was the Sea of Monsters. They both had greek gods and alot of water but the Titans Curse didn't involve much water and it had to do with saving Annabeth. in the Sea of Monsters, It mainly involved sailing and saving Grover.
I am reading diary of a wimpy kid 4 dog days. A comparison in the book I read last time (wringer) is they both kids under age and they don’t have a variety of friends. Two differences in diary of a wimpy kid is humorous and wringer is dark and gloomy. Also in wringer people die and in diary of wimpy kid no one dies. The author of my book is Jeff Kinney and I am on page 116.
I am currently reading Snatched by Pete Hautman. It is nothing like the last book I read. Snatched takes place in present time, but Heavier than Heaven took place in the 1990's. Also Snatched is a mystery, and Heavier than Heaven in an biography. However, in both stories people try to solve other's problems. Also in both stories the "missing person" are popular, and liked a lot.
G Costa sounds cool.
S crossley sounds interesting.
The last book I read was The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer. The book I am currently reading is The Land of Silver Apples also by Nancy Farmer. Iam currently on page 35. They are alike because they have the same characters, and they both have bad things happening to the maincharacters younger sister. They are different because they have new characters, and they also talk more about the religions in the books. Another way they are alike is because they are both part of a trilogy, the same trilogy aswell.
gcosta3
Sounds creepy.
mogarro2
Interesting.
The last book I read was all-american girls, and now I am reading the outsiders. My last book was about a girl and this book is about a group of guys. The last book was present day when this book was along time ago.
Mogarro2
Both great books:)
Scrossley4
I've read the palace of mirrors.. Good book.
The book I am currently reading is "Lock and Key". The author is Sarah Dessen and I'm on page 163. The last book I read was called "A Short Second Life of Bree Tanner". Two comparisons of these books would be, one: The main characters in both of the books are teenage girls. Two: both of the main characters have a guy that they like. Two contrasts of these books would be, one: one book is fantasy and the other book is realistic fiction. Two: one of the main characters is a human. In the other book the main character is a vampire. Those are two comparisons and contrast of the books "Lock and Key" and "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner."
aadusiaw3,
I have heard of both of those books! They sound amazing!
amonari2,
I want to read, "I know what you did last summer", so bad. I heard of it last year but I haven't gotten it yet. I will have to go and buy it! Thanks for reminding me of that!
The book I am currently reading is called 10 Things To Do Before I Die. The previous book I read was called Up Close: Elvis Presley. I am currently on page 92. The author is Daniel Ehrenhaft. The two comparisons in my books are that in the end both of the main characters die and the cause of death was some type of poison/drugs. One of the two contrasts was that Elvis dies in the 70's and Ted Burger(the main character of my current book) dies in the 2000's. The other difference is that in my book Ted knows he's going to die also, Ted and his two friends make a bucket list together before he dies. In Up Close: Elvis Presley he doesn't see his death coming, it is a shock and surprise to him and his family.
arhoades4,
I loved both of those movies!
asheehan3,
YOur book sounds very interesting!
The book i am reading is My Brothers Hero by Adrian Fogelin. I am on page 105. The book i'm comparing it with is my last book City of Strangers. One huge difference is the setting in My Brothers Hero takes place in the Florida keys and City of Strangers is in New York. Another is in the main characters in the book i'm reading now the main character is a child who's very close to his brother but in City of Strangers the main character is an adult that doesn't talk to his brother. The similarities are that both main characters are boy and both have brothers.
Eswanson4
The movie was funny.
mogarro2
I have never read any of the Harry Potter series
Mogarro2, what are some similarties of harry porter and dairy of a wimpy kid. I saw the movie Dairy of a Wimpy Kid did not read the book.
Gcosta3, that sounds interesting and the fact that you like your old book more. I heard of the House Of Dark Shadows.
Gcosta3, that sounds interesting and the fact that you like your old book more. I heard of the House Of Dark Shadows.
Yes we did indeed focused on comparing and contrasting diff text. Now I'm gonna use the currently book I'm reading and the last book I'd read to find 2 comparisons and 2
contrast(differences).
The last book I have read was Western Wind,the book which am I reading is "In My Father's House". This book was written by Ann Rinddi and "Western Wind" has been written by Paula Fox. In my current book I'm on page 4.These both fiction book was about an involving historical novel. In My Father House it was about stepfather & daughter, held on war time whereas Western Wind was about new born brother & sister, was held on summer vacation .

The last book i read was Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. The current book i am reading is Peak by Ronald Smith. I am on page 37. I am going to compare and contrast them. In both of the books, the main characters are kids, and they have to face an impossible task. In peak he has a choice to climb a mountain while in Catching Fire, she does not have a choice. In Catching Fire, the kids are living in a mountain while in Peak the kid is living in New York.
Kfundenburg4,
the first book you mentioned sound interesting.
mogarro2,
both are good books
In my book A Journey to the ceneter of the Earth, by Jules Verne. There are lots of things in coman with my last book the time machine in the fact that there both fantsy and have never occoured.But with similatites there are diifferances like there a Journey to the center of the earth not into the futer. Those are the simmilarties and differance of my books
On page 238/238
My book is "the Fire Eternal" by Chris D'Lacy. I finished the book recently. My old one was "Mocking Jay".
COMPARE-1. Both books are fiction.
2. Both for the readers entertainment
CONTRAST-1. Fire Eternal is fantasy, Mocking jay is sci-fi.
2. Mocking jay is a more gruesome type of book.
ccastillo,
Some love triangle, huh?
The last book i was reading was called Promise kept by stephanie perry moore. The book i am currently reading is called when it happens by susan colasanti. One of the compariosons is that in promise kept Perry is having trouble keeping up with his steady girlfriend. In when it happens Sara is trying to find a steady boyfriend. Another comparison is that in Promise kept Perry is in college and is focusing on winning the ootball championship and in When it happens Sara is a senior focusing on turing in her application to get into her top pick college. In when it happens i am on page 295.
mogarro2,
Yes you are so write i havent read harry potter but diary of a wimpy kid is funny :)
jwang4,
Oh wow.. They're living on a mountain i couldn't live like that. but it sounds interestin.
The last book I read was Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, the book I am currently reading is Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz. I'm currently on page 100. The two books have many differences and few similarities. For example, in my opinion, Diary of a Wimpy Kid has a lot more humor than Skeleton Key. Greg (from Diary of a Wimpy kid) talks about the horrible life he has but manages to keep it funny and exiting. While in Skeleton Key, Alex is fighting his way to save the world.
Scossley4,
Very sad book. (Telling Christina Goodbye) :'(
The last book i read was Diary of A Whimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, by: Jeff Kinney. The book I am currently reading is Tortured. In both books the main characters get embarresed in there own ways, also there brothers/family cause problems for them. But Tortured involves dogs and abusive owners, Diary of A Whimpy kid involves kids getting back at each other.
@mogarro
Which Diary of A Whimpy Kid book are you reading?
@sdeemer2
Is City Of Ember good?
The book I am currently reading is 'The Skin I'm In' by: Sharon G. Flake and i have finised the book. I am comparing that book with 'Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover'. These two books have comparisons like, they both have things to do with fighting back for what they think is right and they also have another one like both having to be in the setting with school. Though they have comparisons they do have multiple differences like 'The Skin I'm in' is having to do with race and the other book has to do with a kid napper. Another strong differences is that 'The Skin I'm In' involves teachers and the other book doesn't.
cmazza3,
I have actually read both of those books and i believe that your comparisons are just right!
kmedero2,
Your books sound interesting just by the compare and contrast.
The book im reading now is called skleton creek by patrick carman. Im on page 142. The last book I read was al capone shines my shoes. Both of my books are mysteries,But Skeleton Creek is about a boy trying to prove that a ghost is the cause of him and his friend neaarly dieing. In al capone shines my shoes the main character is wondering who got his sister in to her school.
scrossley, That sounds very interesting.
gcosta3, That sounds really cool.
The book I'm reading is The Bourne Identity. The author is Robert Ludlum. I'm on page 95. The previous book was Camp X. It was by Eric Walters. Comparison 1: Both books are about government spies. Comparison 2: Both books have the setting of North America. Contrast 1: The main character of Camp X where children. The main character of Bourne Identity is a grown man. Contrast 2: The Bourne Identity is at an adult reading level where Camp X is for young adults.

Mogarro2,
Sounds very interesting
The two books i am going to be talking about is mockingjay by Suzane Collins and the thirteenth skull by Rick Yancey. two comparisions is that in the story the main characters both come close to dying in the story also both the main characters try to take care of there siblings the best that they can but in the mocking jay katniss takes care of her sister and in the thirteenth skull Alfred looks after his step brother another diffrence is the way that the two characters come close to death in The Mocking jay Katniss fights in a war aginst the leaders of her home town in the thirteenth skull Alfred goes and fights demons.
The book I am currently reading is Runaway. The last book I was reading was Waiting for Normal. One comparison in these two books is Both the main characters are girls. Another comparison is both the girls are struggling to get along with there parents. Two differences is in the Runaway, Holly has orphange parents while Beth has her real parents. The last difference is Holly ran away and Beth is trying to get away and leave.

I have read the Secret of the Peaches. It is a great novel.
The two books i am talking about are Holes and The Fall Of Furgal.
Thimilarities are one that they are both fiction. Holes is about a boy who is searching for a tresure and Furgal is about a boy who fell of a window, weird thing to write a book about. Another similarity is that they are both about a boy and not a girl, i don't know why. The differences are one is about tresure and the other is about a boy fallind out of a window and dying. Another difference is that Furgal takes place in a city and Holes takes place in the desert.
The book i am reading is the Gadget and the last book i read was Hunting for Hidden Gold both book are mysterys and advetures. In my opinion both main charachters are bold and heroic. One contrast is the time period becuase the Gadget takes place during WW2 and the hardy boys is in the 70s. another conttast is that the author of the gadget is more detail and the author of the hardy boys in striaght to the point.
scrossley,
Good contrast
mogarro, good book

The 2 comparisons between the two Book ARE , the they are are both two young ladies going through a hard time in their life and thet other comparison is that they both have to keep a secret from the people they love the most. Contrasts are the litte girl in The Old Willis Place lives on the streets with her bother and in Ruby Lu Ruby Has to help her Cousin keep the secret from evey one

** The Secrets of peaches is a great book! :)
The book I am currently reading is Eclipse. I am currently on page 232. Eclipse is written by Stephenie Meyer. The other book I am comparing to is called Heat by Mike lupica. Eclipse has more of the romance in a way stuff and Heat is about sports. They both have people they like. Like Bella likes Edward and in a way has feelings for Jacob and In Heat Michael likes this girl name Ellie. The differences are that one is about baseball and another is about romance.
mogarro2,
I have read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and I love those books!
mbooth3,
I love those books! I have read them all!
The book I am reading now is Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling. I am almost finished with it, as the mini-project is due tomorrow, so I am on page 725. The book I just finished reading is titled Dead is the New Black, which is written by Marlene Perez. Both of these books have a sort of magic "touch" to them. Specific characters have magical abilities that make the book noticably ficton. The books also have a dark, creepy tone. Although, the numerous similarities between both of these books are quantiful, there are also many differences. The books differ from each other in ways like in Harry Potter there is a tournament and that is the main topic. In Dead is the New Black The focus is comming from one girl but in Harry Potter it is comming from three main characters.
scrossley4,

mogarro2,

scrossley4
sounds good
Mogarro2
That sounds great! So which Harry Potter book are you reading?
Gcosta3
Wow! It sounds like you and I are into the same variety of books.
I am reading the book called Cryptid Hunters, its written by Ridley Pearson, and I am on page 50. There are two differences that come to mind when I am comparing the book I am reading now to The Cover Up which was the last book I read. The book i am reading now is about mysterious creatures while the Cover up was talking about football. Another difference was the setting. The setting in Crypitd Hunters is on an Island off of the state of Washington while the Cover Up is in Indianapolis. One similarity is that the books main characters are both about teen kids with strange but cool lives. Another similarity is that the duo of kids in both books are away from their parents.
@lmehan
That sounds like a cool book.
@jdean
That book sounds like a book i read last summer.
mogarro2,
The diary of the wimpy is such a funny book
The last book I read was Emmit Smith: Star Running Back and the book I am reading is Hakeem Olajuwon: Star Center. Both strived to be the greatest in both of their sports. They also won championship in there sports. But Hakeem wasn't from America he was from Nigeria and Emmitt was born in Pensacola, Florida. Emmitt tried to play basketabll but didnt like it so he played football, Hakeem never really tried football he just stuck to basketball.
scrossley4,
That sounds cool.
mogarro2,
Your book sounds awesome.
The book I am currently Reading is One True FrienD. The author is Joyce Hansen. I am currently on page 12. My previous book was Titled Beyonce by Terri Dougherty. One comparison would be both of the main characters form each book have a sibling. Also both characters are trying to achieve a goal .One contrast would be that he was brought up in New york and Beyonce was brought up in Texas. Also he was brought up in foster care and Beyonce was brought up with two parents in a steady home.
GCosta3,
How did the girl recieve those powers?
APinkney3,
It's Cool how they switched the ending of the names around.
The last book I read was People in the News (Angelina Jolie.) I am currently reading Wild Girl written by Patricia Reilly Giff. I am currently on page 117. There are many similarities and differences between these two book one similarity is that both the main characters are females. Another similar aspect is that the setting moves around a lot. Some differences is that Lidie (the main character from Wild Girl) is very young but in the other book Angelina is older. Another difference is that Angelina had a father but Lidie didn't.
The last book I read was The Hunt for the Seventh. The author was Christine Morton-Shaw. The book I am reading right now is The Secret of Laurel Oaks. The author is Lois Ruby and I am on page 25. One comparison is that both stories have ghost. Another comparison is that both stories involve the families both moving to a new...HAUNTED...house. One contrast is that the setting in my current book takes place in Laurel Oaks. Another contrast is that in my current book it is told with two points of view.
@twilliams,
James Patterson is a very detailed writer. I love his books.
@mbooth3,
Isn't Farenheit a series? Maybe not but I think I have heard of it before!
The last book i read was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.I am not reading any books right now but the one i read before Harry Potter was I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To kill You.Two things they had in common was that they are both fiction.And they are both mysteries that keep you guessing.The difference in the stories is that one is about magic and the other is about spies.Also,the main character is a boy in Harry Potter and the other main character was a girl.
ebowers4
