The book that I am currently reading is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. The tone of this book would be romance and mysterious. An example would be Edward and Bella for romance and for mysterious would be when Bella is at lunch and is mysteriously looking at Edward and his personality and the people he hangs out with. The motive that the author had would be that she just wanted to write about romance and vampires.
the tone of the book iam curently reading would be happy and sad. the reason it is happy is because tghe main charater is always happy nomatter what happens to him he is always happy.also the main charaters sister is always sad and depressed because her dad is going back to jail for sinking a ship. my book is called flush and I think that everyone should read this book.
I'm currently reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares and I'm on page 147. The tone of my book seems pretty carefree because it's about summer and there's nothing really harmful going on. They just have to deal with little things that are stressing them out a little. Also, I think the author is trying to make the book very relatable for teenage girls. Overall though, the tone is pretty happy and it feels like it'll be happy in the end. An example is Bridget at soccer camp having a really good time going after an older boy and being with girls in a cabin, with not that many rules.
drumore2,
What book are you reading, whos the author, and what page are you on?
sbogue2,
Why do you think the tone is careless?
The book that I am reading is "Turnabout".The author of my book is Margaret P. Haddix. Im currently on page 72. The tone of the book the author created is suspensefull.An example in the book is "My sixteenth birthday . Sad, sad day. What I mind most-what iv'e been dreading most-is losing my license.
anichols2, have you seen all the movies? I like your example because if anyone has seen the movie, I think they can remember that particular part.
drumore2, your book sounds very sad. Do you like it? I like your example because it really gave a feel for the book.
the tone of my book is an errie. because it is about killing monsters. I am finished with my book. the aouthor is greg taylor.
Iam currently reading Artemis Fowl. The author is Eion Colfer. The page i an currently on is 76. The tone of my book is happy. it has fairy tale cretures like fairies.
The book i am currently reading is Halo:First Strike, by Eric Nylund. I am currently on page 237. The authors tone throughout the book gives a sense of hopfullness that propels the characters through till the resolution of the story.
I am currently reading Once upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris. I am on page 150. The tone of this book is romance and determination. Romance would fit the tone because in the book Christian sends letters through pigeon mail to Marigold and falls in love with her. Marigold never met Christian but ends up falling in love with him. The second tone, determination, is used to describe the tone because he risks alot to get into Marigold's kingdom and to try and save the king. I think the motive would be part comedy, because it's funny, part love story, because it's romantic, and part everything but the kitchen sink, because it has everything incorpurated in it.
anichols is twilght good so far.
anichols2:
I loved that book!
nmongo's book sounds interesting.
drumore2:
What page are u on and what do u think the motive is?
My book is complicated.
The tone in my book is "superstious"becasue its about witchs and stuff. its a pretty good book and i bet the author was thinking about witchcraft when he made it. The book is about a girl that gets convicked of witchcraft. Then she is tied to a poll is the middle of the woods. Then she waits for the thing,the beast.
I'm reading The Sight by Erin Hunter.
The overall tone is both adventurous and secretive. What the author intends the reader to feel is mysterious because of all the omens and secrets within the book. However, she wants us to feel thrill because of all the nerve-wracking battles between others and fueds within the characters themselves, such as facing their "destiny".
@anicols2
Twilight is a bit slow-moving for me, but is overall a good book. The plot is more or less original.
@drumore2
Why is the brother always happy if he also knows what his dad did?
The book I am currently reading is Artemis Fowl The artic incident by Eoin Colfer. I am currently on page 126.The tone of my book would be adventurous.A couple reasons are that Artemis is meeting fairies.He is also going around the world on a manhunt for his dad.
drumore2,your book does sound sort of laid back
astephon5,Its funny they would send love notes through pigeons.
I finished reading So B. It by Sarah Weeks. The tone of the book i think would be solitary and hopeful. Because the main character, Heidi, went to New York all the way from Nevada by herself, and the whole way she was hoping she would fine out more about her mother, right up until the last chapter. The motive that the author had was that the book was about discovery and patience.
@anichols2
how many times have you read twilight? Doesnt it get boring after a while?
anichols2 I love the Twilight books so much. They are all so interesting.
The Lightning Thief Rick Riordan, I am currently on page 70 of my book. The tone of this book would be confusing and suprising. An example of this is when Percy's teacher Ms. Dodds turns into a monster and attackes him. He is very confused throughout the story and he is discovering new things about his life and about the so called myths he was told about in latin class. The motive the authour wnated to write is about what would happen if olympus was real and how this would affect people.
I am currently reading The Midnight Library: Blood and Sand. I am on page 51. The author is Damien Graves. The tone of this book is horrifying and mysterious, the motive is to creep you out and make you try and figure thing out before the character does. The tone is also creepy
tgarrison2 I watched the movie, and the book sound just like it.
the book I am currently reading is "The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod". The author is Heather Brewer and I am on page 46. The tone of my book is sad. Its sad because a little kid is all alonw, while being a vampire. He goes through lots of events that he wishes he had someone to help him and tell him wrong from right.
I am currently reading thirst no.4 and the tone of my book is a mixture of adventure and danger and it has kind of a happy and sad tone. my book is by christopher pike.im on page 357 and its sad yet happy becuase she has a baby and she thinks its evil and then alisas baby gets killed trying to protect the baby john from the evil vampires
anichols2,
The Twilight series are my favorite books. They are really good!
hpeel2,
the book sounds really interesting
@anichols2,
Heey!! is the book good so far?? I had trouble finishing the first book because i thought it was kinda boring.. Anyway tell me how it was!!
I just finished reading Fairest by Gail Carson Levine i ended on page 356. I think that the tone my author wanted to have was a romantic tone. I think its romantic because a girl falls in love with the prince and then the prince kisses the commoner. Then they fall in love. They are so adorable thats why its romantic tone.
gallatinI think my book has a curious and happy tone because throught the book Bambi asks his mother many questions and his tone becomes happy when she shares the answer with him. At one point Bambi asks his mother "What are deer?" and his mother said "We are deer" Bambi replys "oh I understand you are a big deer and I am a little deer!".The book is Bambi page 45 author Is Felix Salten
anichols2
i love that book, it was deffinetly romantic.
I am currently reading the book The Giver by Lois Lowery.I am almost done with it and i can't wait for it to give away the ending! The tone of the book is seduce, and not in the that way either.The reader is trying to draw you in at every chapter in the book. That's why i can't wait for it to end.
anichols2,
What page are you on and how did the authour come up with this book?
Jdennis5,
What is the motive of wour book?
@ kwilliams2- you forgot the author and the page number you are on, but other than that your book sounds intresting.
@ Jdale2- Nice job buddy. You did good on your explanation but you kind of missed your period at the end and you forgot an s at the end of things but its all good.
The book im reading is Life As We Knew It. Im currently on page 10. I just started it yesterday so im not very far into it. So far its very interesting. The tone of my book so far is mysterious because they dont tell you everything that is happening. The first chapter so far is my favorite.
KFlanagan6
The Giver was an amazing book, but It really grabbed you attention what the author writres. I deffinetly liked that book.
The book I'm currently I'm currently reading is Ella Enchanted, and I'm about half way done with my book. The tone of my book is happy and very 'enchanted'. It is very fantasy like because they live in a fairy tale land and cast spells on each other. The main charachter, Ella, has a spell on her that she has to comply to any order or command given to her.
JAMIEDEWITT
COOL STORY BRO TELL IT AGAIN......
anichols2
So many people have read that book and not one has said that they dont like it. Do you like it?
Sbogue2: That's such a good book! Have you seen the movie?
drumore2
I read that book in 6th grade and loved it. Do you like it?
Anichols2: OMG I LOVE THAT BOOK AND ITS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE.
DOMINK MAKSYMILIAN
that sound like a good book ,sound like 1 you would read
The book Iam currently reading is Peter and the starcatchers by Dave Barry. The tone of this book is danger and romance but mostly danger. A example of this would be when Peter saved Molly from this antagonist. I am on page 474 and chapter 72. Peter likes Molly.
title: The Lost Hero
author: Rick Riordan
Page: 143
I think the author's overall tone is serious yet fun. He introduces us too characters with interesting conflicts. The main character, Jason wakes up on a bus with no memory of the past. During the field trip he went to, a sudden storm started. Then one of the teenagers, Dylan, turned into what Jason calls a "venti", a storm spirit.
@JDewitt6
this book sounds interesting. i'll see about reading Enchanted during winter break.
@Ahowell5
i like mysteries, but i didn't get much out of that post. next time, include more detail.
The book that I am currently reading is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. The tone of this book would be romance and mysterious. An example would be Edward and Bella for romance and for mysterious would be when Bella is at lunch and is mysteriously looking at Edward and his personality and the people he hangs out with. The motive that the author had would be that she just wanted to write about romance and vampires.
Anichols2,Everyone reads Twilight! I have not read it.
Title: The Son of Neptune
Author: Rick Riordan
Page: 321
The overall tone of my book is exciting. The book is fast-passed with lots of battle scenes and twists. It keeps you thinking and keeps your heart racing. you never know what wil happen next. So that is why I beleive this book's tone is exciting.
anichols2,
never really got into the Twilight books. who would you recomend this to?
I was reading Specials by Scott Westerfeld. In the book their were numerous tones. The author made me feel happy one moment then sad the next. I could never tell what was gonna happen next because if I did it would be completly diffrent. The tone of the book would have to be mysterious.
anichols2 is twilghit a good book.
abeaty5, what is the title of your book?
@drumore2,
Why did her dad sink a ship??
drumore2 is flush a good book.
The book I am reading is "The Girl That Could Fly." By Victoria Forester. I am currently on page 326. The tone of my book would be mysterious with a hint of sorrow. An example would be of how Piper has to travel to the trash shoot because the boy Conrad threew it when really he was trying to help her. She finally learns that the facility was using her and she felt sad bcause she had learned to trust the people in the building. She thought they were helping her when really they were trying to make her loose her gift. The author wrote this to entertain readers with a good story of faith, hope and a little happiness.
anichols:i think you are going to really love this book.
drumore2:I have never read that.
anichols2
I enjoyed the twilight serious it was very romantic and had lots of action. Are you enjoying it?
drumore2
What book are you reading, who is the author and what page are you on?
Book: The Gardener
Author: S.A.Bodeen
Page:130
Tone: Mysterious and aadventurous
They are still on the run, but they come across one of the people that they are running from. The woman wants the girl back to put her back in the lab, but Mason doesnt want hto give her back. It is suspenseful and a real page turner.
Team Thomas stinks GO Team Wang
anichols2, that sounds interesting
anichols2
I loved that book.
nmongo, why are they losing their license?
I am on page 94 of Fat Kid Rules the World, by K.L. Going. Throughout this whole story, Tom has very little self-confidence in himself. Well, I don’t blame him. He’s seventeen years old, six foot one, and weighs 300 pounds. Sometimes when he talks, he wheezes and stutters. Therefore, K.L. Going feels embarrassed about being fat. Everything Tom does, he makes sure nobody will laugh at him, like they always do. In the beginning, Tom questions himself about committing suicide because he’s ashamed of himself and what he’s become. This book makes me feel sad for Tom, and makes me want to read to find out what happens to him next.
Anichols2:
I love that book! That is an awesome example of how books are better than the movies. Because I’m not really a big fan of that movie, just the book!
Astephens5:
That sounds like an intense book!
I am currently reading the book I Am Number Four by Pittacud Lore. Right now I am on page 241. The tone of this book is probably lonley and sad. For example the main character John says "...but I am tired of running...I wonder if we'll ever be able to stop." This quote kind of gives off a lonley, sad vibe. I think the authors motive for writintg this story was to write an interesting story that entertains the readers, but also connect you wiht the character and understand his feelings.
Anichols2,
I agree with the tone being romantic and mysterious for Twilight. But I think thats what made it interesting.
Astpehens5,
I love that book! It's so good!
The book that I currently read is Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. I just finished the book yesterday, and the tone of this book would be tense and exciting. An example would be that Abbot, the antagonist, also the leader of the pride, kills the secondary characters Holly, Qwan, and N 1. Since Artemis knows the pattern to the time leap, he shoots Abbot unconscious when the time jumps back about a minute and stops him from killing his friends. The motive the author had when he wrote this book was to entertain. He also wanted it to have a happy tone in the end of the book.
awilson2, it seems like alot of the people I know are reading that book; even guys.
Snetherland5, I really want to read that book, but whenever I try to check out the book from the library, its on hold for someone.
My book is the old Willis place by Mary Downing Hahn I'm on page 94. The tone would be mysterious because these kids are living in the woods and there are all these rules that they have to follow. Also there is this girl Lissa that Diana is breaking the rules for just because she wants a friend and Georgie Diana's brother doesn't like that because they shouldn't break the rules because they will get in trouble by miss Lilian the lady that died in the old house that they live by. So I think that mysterious would be the tome for this book. This book is good i cant wait for the end.
anichols2 i love that book it is awsome read it 5 times.
sbogue2 i love that movie but never read the book maybe ill read it someday sounds like a good book
I am currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, and am on page 241. So far, I think the tone in my book would be tense and sad. It would be tense because of all the stressful things that are happening to the characters and the situations they are put in by the capitol people. The suspense also makes you feel very tense. I would say sad because of the whole concept of the book. These people think they can be in charge and kill whoever they want for their entertainment,and all the people are dying, which is really sad.
tgarrison2, I heard that was a good book but I never really wanted to read it after I had already saw the movie. Is it good?
aneal2, Sounds like an interesting book!
The book that I am currently reading is Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, by J.K. Rowling. At the moment I am on page number 259. There are two motives that the author probably had in mind when they wrote this book. One of them is Sad, or depressing, because Harry has to go to a hearing because he used magic illegally. His friends hadn't written to him all summer and he felt all alone, and shut off from the world. Another one is Fear, because the Order is talking about weapons that Voldemort wants. They are all frightened, and Ron's mom wont let Harry hear the full story.
Slaw5;
Is that the second book in the series of the Hunger Games? I haven't read it yet.
anichols2;
I've read that a few times, but I liked it the first time I read it more than the last few times I think.
The book I am currently reading is Poison Ink by Christopher Golden. I am page 88. I think the tone would be romance because there is a girl named Sammi and then she meets this boy named Adam and he is very fancy. Sammi likes this because he's different from other guys.The book is also mysterious because there is this character who stays in this shop and he is kind of a mystery.The motive the author had would be to write about the romance of the characters and to make the book seem mysterious.
anichols2, it seems like a lot of people are reading Twilight books!It's a very good book though.
drumore2,your book seems good, but when you do your blog try to pay attention to your mistakes because ther a lot of them! Just trying to help out!!!!
the book I'm currently reading is The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. I'm currently on page 280. The tone of this book is adventurous. An example of this would be the plot it's self. Because the plot of this book is to travel across America to find a missing goddess.
@ drumore2
who's it written by?
@nmongo2
why do you think the tone is supenceful
Book: The Hunger Games
Author: Suzanne Collins
Page: 78 of 374
The overall tone of the book would probably be exciting and suspense. It would be exciting because are the hunger games. The hunger games are when different people from different districts come into a stadium were they fight to the death. It is suspenseful because you always want to know what happens next. The last sentence of each chapter make you read more. I can’t ever put the book down!
anichols2,
The Twilight books are the best books I've read!
dbenjamin6,
For some reason the title of the book sounds familiar...
Im am currently reading The Book of Time by Guiliaume Prevost. I am on page 54. The tone of my book is mysterious. For example, the main character Sam travels back in time to a strange civilization where everyone speaks a different language. He later finds out he's living with vikings!
The book that I'm currently reading is Dragon Rider. The author is Cornelia Funke. I'm on page 36. The tone of the book so far is mystery and scary. An example would be when the mice runs in and says to someone that there are people coming. So that's very mysterios.
I have currently just started reading Jolted by Arthur Slade. I am on page 15 and its really an interesting book. The tone of this book would probaly be mysteries and challenging. For example Newton Starkers family has a history of getting struck by lightning.So he is trying to beat the odds so he can survie their deadly curse.This book is really addicting and I can't wait to see what happens!
@dbenjamin6 Why is your book called poison?
Book: Elephant Run
Page: 298
Author: Roland Smith
The tone of my book would be adventures. An example would be in the book nick travels everywhere. Nick never stops traveling. You can say he is a nomad because he moves place to place. I should be finish this week.
@hpeel2 What is your book about?
Anichols2
That sounds like a very good mix of tones. I bet the book is very action filled.
Drumore2
That sounds like an interesting book.
Nmongo2, your book sounds interesting I might read it next.
@jdennis5 I didn't like Artemis Fowl so well. Do you like it ?
@MRichards5 The sight really sounds like a cool and adventuring book.
I'm presently reading "The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan, and on page 130. I believe the tone of my book is an adventure and excitement. The book is very hard to stop reading. There is always new ideas introduced in the book and cliffhangers that leave you hooked. For example in the book the two main characters are Carter and Sadie. Throughout the book they are constantly learning new extraordinary things in their life that they never knew(mostly magical powers). So the book always leaves you to ask yourself what they might learn next.
I am currently reading roar and I am on page 99. The author is Emma Clayton, and I think the tone of my book is sad. Also I believe it is happy, because Mika and Ellie (brother and sister) are separated. Then they are eventually reunited once again.
@Anichols2 I heard the twilight series was very good, but I never got the chance to see the movie’s or read the books.
@Drumore2 how did one person sink a ship?
I'm currently reading Dealing wih Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede and I'm on page 68. The tone of this book the tone of this book would be thoughtful and adventurous. Because Cimorene(the main character)escaped from her castle and became princess of dragon. She faced a lot of adventurous situations during living in the cave with dragons.
tfried2, I like the tone of the book which you're reading now. It's pretty impressive that Heidi went to
New York all the way from Nevada by herself and hoping she would find out more about her mother.
Slaw5, It's really sad that all of the stressful things happens to the characters.I can't understand that why they think they can be in charge and kill whoever they want for their entertainment.
I have currently finished reading Warriors:New Prophecy Midnight by Erin Hunter. Wow... I cant even begin to choose a single word for the tone of this book. It has uncertainty, peril, confusion and courage. Thats all I can really come up with. They are in much peril in this book. Battling rats, meeting a badger (who is friendly), metting foxes and getting stuck in fences.
The book that i am reading is Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer. i am currently on page 110. the tone so far would have to be kid of nervous/scared. I think that the author intended for the reader to feel that way, but then again i could be wrong. that is just what it feels like to me. Because she is nervous about her wedding and a little bit scared too.
drumore2,
i heard that that book is pretty good.
nmongo2,
How is that sad?
Drumore2,It is good to look at the brighter side of things.It keeps you from seeing the negative.
my book is the road by cormac mccarthy. the overall tone of my book is sad and creepy. because of the horrific events. but the book is pretty good. im on page 96.
pmoreau5
is that a twighlight book
The book i am currently reading is thirst no 4 and I am on page 486. The overall tone of my book is adventorous becuase in chapter 24 Alisa Perne loses her 2nd duaghter becuase she was trying to protect the baby John but she goes on many adventures that turn into massacres but i dont want to give it away so if you want to find outmore you have to read the book.
Im currently reading worth. It is like a sad tone because its talking about how people die. Iam currenly on page 70. I can't remember the author's name.
Tfried2 What made you wanna read this book and What happend to her mother?
The tone of my book, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, is different depending on what's going on in the story. When Lucy first finds the magical land of Narnia, the tone is happy and interesting. However, when Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy all go to Mr. Tumnus' house, they find the door off its hinges, the house a complete wreck and a creepy letter from the White Witch, the tone is mysterious and creepy.
anichols2,
I agree with you! Because the book has a lot of romance, between Edward and Bella, however Edward is a vampire, and he confuses Bella with him appearing places out of nowhere. Hope you're liking the book!
tgarrison2,
I like the series of the lightning thief.
awilson2,
I heard of that book but didn't seem interested
anichols2
Do you like romance novels?
sbogue2
I love that movie!
The book that I am currently reading is Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix by J.K. Rowling, also I am on page eighty five. My book so far has a tone of creepiness and foreboding. The reason for this is, Harry is expecting Voldemort to attack numerous muggles at any given time. While they are awaiting this terrible happening, Harry is in hiding with many other wizards who have been against Voldemort from the start. Harry is in hiding because Voldemort isn't just after plain human beings, he's also after him...
astine2, what a great book choice! I'm reading it too, how do you like it so far? I love at the end of every book every secret unravels.
sbouge2, That sounds like a really good book. But, I'm sure that they'll have to throw something in there that makes it interesting/ maybe a little sad.
I am currently reading Into The Wild by Sarah Beth Durst. This book is a Fantasy. I am on page 144 out of 288. I am liking the book so far.I feel the tone of the book is a mixed tone.In some parts the main charector Julie has a bunch of mixed feeling about the wild, her family and herself. I feel that most of all I think the tone is enthusastic because they are going on an inventure and I feel that they are probably talking loud with an excited tone. Like in this exerpt of the book. "Grinning she turned forward. On the horizon, the sun was rising, sparkling and dancing on the water. It was a beutiful morning in every way. She was going to mom! She was going home!" I feel like it would sound passionate and is happy.
@sbogue2... That seems likw a great book. I have seen the movie many times! Do you think the book is anyway diffrent than the movie?how?
@drumore2,
What book are you reading? What page are you on? Who is the other?
The book I'm reading is called Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie.I'm on page 80 of 200. It has more of a gentle tone in the beginning of the book and then it starts with a more of a adventurous tone when Peter Pan shows up.For example of a gentle tone was when the author talks about the lives of Wendy's family and a adventurous when they fly all the way to Never Land. I really like the book so far.
@drumore2
What page are you on
@sbouge2
That must sound like a good book
Im reading Luna Bay by Francess Lantz. Im curently on page 65. The tone of my book would me romance and a happy tone. An example of romance would be the summer triangle shes having between David and Sean. The happy tone would ne her passion for surfing and how shes always happy whenever shes at the beach or in the water. The Motive that the author had would be that she just wanted it be about surfing and romance.
anichols2, I love twilight.
sbogue2, The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants is a great book and it relates to me a lot.
Title:Traitors Author:Andrew Snaden p.168. The tone of my book is both happy and sad. for example "He isn't talking. but we got a new suspect.
Anichols2 i have never read the twilight books but i heard there good.
Hpeel2 I have read all of the Artemis Fowl they are amazing!
