The title of my book is "Among the Imposters". The author of my book is Margaret P. Haddix. I'm currently on page 20. The book is being told in 3rd person. An example,"Luke rushed in past the hall monitor.He slipped behind the door."
The Lightning Thief, Rick Riordan. I am currently on page 74 of my book. the point of view is first person. Percy is telling the story beacuse he is using words like I and my. He is telling his thoughts and what he is thinking. There is no narrarator so he has to be talking in first person. He says and "that its was my fault that my mom was killed by the minotaur."
I am currently reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I am on currently page 69. The point-of-view would be from first person. For example, they use I and me in the story. Since Bella is telling the story, when she talks about what she is doing, she uses I am going or I am doing.
Tgarrison, I have heard of that book before! It seems like a good book.
nmongo2, I love Margaret P. Haddix because she is a very good author.
nmongo2,
Is this book good? Would you read it again?
Anichols2,You are the second person I know reading twilight this nine weeks. Good book!
anichols, I dont know if i want to read the twilight series but it sounds good.
tgarrison2,
Have you seen the movie?
The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod:Ninth Grade Slays
Author:Heather Brewer
Pg:136
the books point of view is being told by believe it or not the author herself for example out the book but he couldn't be certain she saw him do it. or vlad scratched his wrist and shrugged no problem.
Book:The Gardener
Author:S.A. Bodeen
Page:188,189
POV: First person
The point of veiw in my book is first peron because it says things like I thought, I said, I felt, etc.
TGarrison,
I have read all of the Percy Jackson books! They are so suspensful and realy pulled me in.
The title of my book is "The Boy Who Dared" By Susan Cambell Batroletti. I am currently on page 32. My book is told in 1st person point of view. I can tell because it doesn't used "I" or "Me". It mainly uses the words "He", "She","They" and other words that refer to characters in the story.
I am currently reading the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowery. I am on page 135 of my book. The point of view of my book is in 3rd person. The narrator never refers to himslef, it's always about the main charactors in the book. For example, "Jonas nodded. Of course he remembered." Or, "The Giver hunched over, rocking his body slightly back and forth."
The book I'm currently reading is A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C. Brunce i am on page 74. It is first person point of view. I know this because you they say I, Me, You etc. For example, "Don't say a word." My voice was thin with warning. They don't read into other peoples thoughts I only know hers.
anichols2
Have you seen the movie?
SLoyd, I have seen so many people reading those books. are they good?
@Tgarrison2
That sounds like a good book. i have been meaning to read it but never have had the chance to
Tgarrison2
Percy is always telling the story, it was amazing his toughts are very funny.
nmongo2
Ive never heard about that book before but i like that author. Do you think that I would like it?
Anichols2
Twilight was a great book, i hated the movie, it wasn't half as good as the book.
tgarrison2
A lot of people have read those book, and love them. Do you like them?
The book I am reading currently is Artemis Fowl The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer.I am currently on page 246.The book is told in 3rd person omniscient. An example, " There are too many" thought butler or The goblins when they noticed him thought things like " oh gods, its a troll in clothes!"
Tgarrison2,I like the lightning thief.
Kflanagen6, I read The Giver in class last year.
Karena and Charles Hallingdahl are twins. Karena, from whose point of view “The Stormchasers” is told, is kind, clever and hip - an all-roundgood girl who grows up to be a terrific journalist. Charles is also smart: in fact, he tests out as a genius; unfortunately, he is also bipolar, veering from being sensitive and fun to being wild, willful and just plain mean. His love in life is stormchasing in Tornado Alley - and he is good at it, because he not only knows all there is to know about cyclonic storms, but he also seems to intuit where they are going to touch down and therefore the best place to watch them.
I just recently finished The Sight by Erin Hunter. The point of view in my book is third person omniscient, because you switch character's thoughts every chapter. There are three characters you hear the thoughts of, and one of those characters can read the thoughts of others, as a power he has.
@nmongo2
Sounds like a good book.
@Tgarrison2
The Lightning Thief is a good book, I enjoyed it.
I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix by J.K. Rowling and I'm currently on page eighty five. The point of view of the book is third person. I know this because the author uses "he" and not "I" or "you". Also, the narrator doesn't know everyone's feelings, so it can't be omniscient. So far, I love this book, I just wish that it would have Hermione and Ron (Harry's closest friends) a little more sympathetic.
tgarrison2, I loved that book. I was on the last book and for some reason got bored and didn't ever finish it.
kflanagan6, Suprisingly, I loved that book. We had to read it for r.e.a.c.h. last year and everyone hated it, but I really liked it.
I am reading a book from the Pretty Little Liars series(This is my book of choice not the book talk one!) I really like the book. I am on page 117.Because this book is about 4 diffrent girls it has 4 diffrent chapters about all of them. With this info I think that the tone of my book is 3rd person omniscient. I feel this way because.. They are always using sentences like."Spencer walked down the hallway to find herself face to face with Andrew." or " "hello Mr. Fitz" Aria said."
@Tgarrison2.. I have watched the first part of the movie with my little brother, it seemed like it would make a great book! Is it as good as people say it is?
@nmongo2..Do you like the book so far? Would it make an easy read? It sounds suspencful!
The title of my book is called Poison Ink by Christopher Golden. I am currently on page 107. I think my book is written in the 3rd person. An example is from a girl named Sammi's point of view "So much for sisters," she thought, stepping up onto the bus.
nmongo2, is your book a sequel of Among The Hidden? I noticed it was by the same author.
Tgarrison2, I can't believe your reading this too! Almost everyone is reading this book. If you haven't seen the movie you should because it's awesome!
The title of my book is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets" The author of my book is J.K. Rowling. I am currently on page 17. My book is being told in third person. An example of it would be "Aunt petunia looked at Harry with a snarl and said"and you".
I'm reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants by Ann Brashares. I'm on page 193. My book actually has 4 Point-of-View's. The story is from the perspective of Bridget, Carmen, Tibby and Lena. They are 4 bestfriends who are all in different places for the summer, but they're united between a pair of jeans they think are magical. Bridget tells the story from her perspective at a soccer camp in Baja, California while she is falling for a camp counselor named Josh she really likes. She talks about how good looking he is and how everything he does is perfect.
Im reading Babysitter's Nightmare by Kate Daniel. Im on page 67. The book is told in 3rd Person.
Example:" Alice straightened up and started walking slowly toward her locker."
tgarrson2, have you read any of the other percy jackson books? I loved that series and if you read the rest of them, I bet you'd really like them too!
hpeel2, do you like that series? I heard they were good, but they are really big books! Are they interesting to you?
The book I am currently reading is "The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod". The author is Heather Brewer, I am on page 43. The point of view o f this book would have to be first person. Its first person because the book is about Vlad basically talking about his own life and explaining how hard it is to be a vampire.
Kflanagan6,
do you like that book so far?
I am currently reading the book, Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris. I am on page 260. The point of view is 3rd person. For example it says, " Christian had already written his message and put it into a cylinder." "He hoped he wasn't coming down with something" I am almost done with the book and I have about 10 pages left.
anichols2:
I love those books!
SPena6:
That sounds like a good book!
I am currently reading I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. Right now I am on page 436. This book is written in 1st person. The way I know this is because there is only one character who you know everyting out them (like what their thinking and how they feel). Also the main charcater is telling the story and using "I" to talk about what is happening and what he is doing.
Sbouge2,
Is the book a lot like the movie?
Iam reading Artimis Fowl. The author is Eion Colfer. The current page that I am on is 106. The point of view in my book is third person omniscient. The narrator kmows all actions, thoughts, feelings of everyone in the story.
I am reading Extras by Scott Westerfeld. I'm on page 72. The point-of-view in this book is 3rd person. This is because the narrator is just showing Aya's feelings and thoughts. This book so far is really good.(:
I like Tgarrison comment
@Snetherland5,
Hey i 'v seen the movie!! But I heard it's nothing like the movie is that true???? (:
nMy books point of view is first person it is told from the point of view of the Bambi. Bambi expresses how he feel for the "graceful" owl and the "intellegint" hare. He is still young but not a baby at this point, he has cousins who are also his friends. Even though Bambi has seen his dad his dad has never talked to him. I am barely getting through the book it is a bit boring. I am on page 67 the author is Felix Salten.
The title of my book is peter and the shadow theives. The author is Dave Barry. I am currently on page 200. The book is being told from the first person. An example "I'm going to get you some day.
I forgot to say my book, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, is in 1st person point of view because the 4 girls are talking from their perspective. It changes from girl to girl every chapter, but they always say how they're feeling and you can hear their thoughts. That's how you know it's in first person.
The book I am currently reading is The Midnight Library: Blood and Sand. I am on page 105. The author of this book is Damien Graves. The point-of-view the book i am currnetly reading is 3rd person omniecent. I think it is 3rd person omnicent because the author is telling the story to me.
anichols2, twilight books are soo amazing, which book are you reading.
nmongo2; what do like about this book
My book is the mysterios benedict society. the author is Trenton lee stewart. Im on page 40 of 440. The point of view is being told from first person. Reynie says "i agree with kate,"said reynie "but listen if hhe does look your way-".
Tgarrison2
that book really good. hope you read the rest of the series.
slloyd5; i hear that book has good grammer
nmongo2
that book sounds really good. i always like books in third or first person.
I have finished the book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. This story is being told in first person. Katniss is one of the main characters in the story and is the one telling the story. I can tell this story is in first person because of the way she says I or me. Also because of how she describes what she and other characters are doing and how she responds to the different characters.
The book I'm reading is Ella Enchanted, I'm about 3/4 of the way done. The point of view in my book is first person, it is told by the main character, Ella. She describes all the events in the story and there is a lot of dialogue of her speaking. She tells a lot of stories from her past and what she thinks of them.
I can't wait to see how my book ends!
anichols2: That's a good book, keep reading:)!
KLOWERY6: Is that a book..?
@KLOWERY6... You are right!They never die!

KLOWERY
COUNTRY BOY WILL SURVIVE YEA!@!!!!!@!@!@!@!@!@!<3
My book is The Old Willis Place by Mary Downing Hahn and im on page 100. My book is being told in 1st person. I know everything the main character is thinking and doing the entire time. An example of this is "I lingered in the shadows by the window and watched Lissa and her dad move around the kichen laughing and talking as they made dinner." It also is really easy to read and is a good book.
JDIHALEQ
THAT A PRETTY GOOD BOOKY:I READ IT LAST NIGHT ;THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!!!!!
awilson2 That book is so good I read it 4 times.
Book: The Son of Neptune
Author: Rick Riordan
Page: 384
My book is told from third person omnicient. The book is told from the author's perspective and tells what the characters think and feel at all times. The author refers to characters by name and never do the characters talk in their own point-of-veiw.
Tgarrison2 I like that movie is it as good as the book.
Jdewitt6, Didn't they make a movie on that?
WLawrence6, I've seen a lot of people reading that lately. Is it a good book?
My book is Lost Time. By Susan Maupin Schmid. My book is being told from third person view. I am currently on page 5. When the author describes how Violynne Vivant feels when she first wakes up.
Tgarrison2: the lightning thief is one of my favorite books.
Tgarrison2: the lightning thief is one of my favorite books.
nmongo2: i really like your comment.

Wlawrence6

Jfox5
I love that book!
The title of my book is "Luna Bay" by Francess Lantz. Im currently on page 73. The book is being told in 1st person. Because Luna is using my and i.
anichols2, the Twilight series is very good.
jdewitt6, ella enchanted is a great book.
The book I am currently reading is Dawn in the New Prophecy series in Warriors. I am on page 205 of this book. This book is told in the third person omniscient point of view. My book changes the main character every chapter. This is a sentence from chapter 15: Squirrelpaw stared earnestly into her eyes. "Your right. Even without a sign, I know Starclan will be protecting us and guiding us wherever we go." This chapter is in Squirrelpaw's point of view. This is a sentance from chapter 16: Clouds obscured the night sky as Leafpaw padded down the hard stone slope. This Chapter is in Leafpaws point of view.
A Storm of Swords
George R.R. Martin
Finished
My book's point of view is Third person. Every chapter the Point of view changes character, but you only know One point of view at a time. So, it can be considered omniscient as well. Sometimes actual thoughts are conveyed from the character. Martin even goes to the extent of changing writing styles when changing Point of view.
The book I am reading is Jolted by Arthur Slade. I am currently on page 108. The point of view for my book would probaly be in third person. For example,"He breathed through closed teeth". Also, another example would be "His hands balled into fists." This is a very good book and I'm really enjoying it.
Nmongo2, Margaret P. Haddix is an amazing author, do you think that book would be one of your favorites?
Tgarrison2, did you see the movie?If so do you think the book or the movie is better?
The title of the book I am currently reading is The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. I'm currently on page 186 and the point of view for my book is 3rd person. There are three main characters and the author changes point of view between them every three chapters or so. An example would be "Percy wasn't scared of ghosts, which was lucky". This book could be also considered 3rd person omniscient.
eMoody6, your book sounds like it has a similar point of view compared to mine.
I’m on page 106 of Fat Kid Rules the World, by K.L. Going. Troy is the main character in this book and therefore this is based on his point of view. “I’m a sweating fat kid standing on the edge of the subway platform staring at the tracks. I’m seventeen years old, weigh 296 pounds, and I’m six-foot-one. I have a crew cut, yes a crew cut, sallow skin, and the kind of mouth that puckers when I breathe. I’m wearing a shirt that reads MIAMI BEACH—SPRING BREAK 1997, and huge, bland tan pants—the only kind of pants I own. Eight pairs, all tan.” This is from Troy’s point of view and I believe he loathes being obese.
nmongo2, that book sounds similar to the book Among the Hidden I read a few years ago.
Anichols2:
Have you watched Twilight the movie? Which one do you think is better: the book or the movie?
Kflanagan6:
I love that book! The Giver is one of my favorites!
I am currently reading The Book of Time, by Guiliaume Prevost. I am on page 71. My book is told in third person point of veiw, because there is a narrator who always refers to the main character, Sam. For example, Sam got off the bus in front of the skating rink. No one is ever refered to as I.
@ amanibusan6 That sounds like a really funny book.
@kflanagan6 My book is told from a third person point of veiw also.
The book I am currently reading is Elephant Run. The author is Roland Smith. I am finish with the book. My book is in first person. I can tell because the author allways see's things for them selves.
The book I just finished is called the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The book is 374 pages long. The point of view is in first person. The main character, Katniss, is telling the story. The book uses words like I and my. Example: “You know the boy from my district? Peeta? I think he saved my life” I say.” (pg. 206) This book is loaded with suspense at the end of each chapter, and I could never turn my face away from all of the action.
@Tgarrison2 The Lightning Thief is a really good book.
@Tgarrison2. I agree The Lightning Thief is in first person.
Wlawrence6,
Isn't The Boy Who Dared about the holocaust?
Tgarrison2,
I seen the movie of that!
I am currently reading Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. I'm on page 89. My book is told in 3red person point of view. For example, "Cimorene was in the kitchen taking the pits ou of cherries when she heard someone knocking at the mouth of the cave."
anichols2,twilight is the 2nd best sereis I've ever read!!
jdiehl6, the book you're reading sounds really good. I especially like the title of that book.
I am currently reading the red pyramid by Rick Riordan. the point of view of this story comes from Sadie and Carter the two. these are the two main characters. every 2 chapters the narrator changes.
My book is being told from a "3rd person omnicient" point of veiw. For example, they use "Lucy did this...", or "Peter said this...". My book is by C.S Lewis, and so far I really like it :)
The book I'm reading is The Lost Hero. It's written by Rick Riordan. I'm currently on page 404. The point of wiew of this book is 3rd person omnitiant. Every two chapters the book switches to another main character viewpoint but is still told by the nartaor.
I am reading the roar by Emma Clayton. I am currently on page 129 and the point of view is first person. There are two different characters in this book. Ellie and Mika they are brother and sister. Mika thinks Ellie is dead and Mika’s freaking out. Also Ellie is trying to get back home because she was taken.
@nmongo2 I wish my book was in third person it would be so much better.
@Anichols2 should I read the twilight series I heard it was good.
My book, Halo:First Srike by Eric Nylund, is told from the perspective the Master Chief Petty Officer, John 117. He is the main character throughout the story. There are parts in the book however that are told from the perspective of an omnipresent narrator. However the story is centered around the chief and told through his eyes. I am currently finished with the book and am persueing the sequel.
@Tgarrison2
I love Rick Riordan book
|
@nmongo2
short and to the point
I'm reading Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. I'm on page 150 of 200. This book is a third person omniscient point of view. Because it does explain why characters do what they do as well as how they reacted. For example Peter Pan attacks Wendy's mother because she already grew up. Another is when Tinker Bell yanks on Wendy's hair because Tinker Bell was slightly disappointed when Peter asked her to tell stories and mother the lost boys at the same time.
The title of my book Breaking Dawn. the book is written by Stephenie Meyer. My book is in first-person view. Im on pg 143 and i can already tell that it's in first person view. An example would be "I walked slowly, and quietly down stairs for a glass of water."
@nmongo2
I heard that series was good
@Tgarrison2
The book and the movie are both good
@KFlanagan6
That book sounds pretty interesting. I've heard alot about it but i"ve never actually read it
The book I’m reading now is Everlost by Neal Shusterman and I am on page 29. The point of view of this book is third person omniscient I think. An example would be," Nick held his breath for ten minutes with no ill effect...” I’m not sure if it is because it seems like it switches between each chapter. But I really like the book so far.
nmongo2 is it omniscient or just third person.
The book I am currently reading is Whisper in the Dark by Joseph Bruchac. I am on page 33. The book is being told in third person by a girl named Maddy. An example of this is when she said," Don't ask Maddy Brown what is going on when she's acting upset. when she's being moody Maddy. But he didn't ask one thing before he hung up."
SLaw5
Yeha It'S pretty good so far
SLloyd5 is that a good book/series???
Lwooley5
Yeah It's about the holocaust
Tgarrison,
It seems like a really good book.
I'm currently reading worth. The author is A. Lafaye. I'm currently on page 100.My book is told from first-person point of view from Nathaniel’s point of view. Worth conveys the almost tangible tension felt by the family as it teeters precariously on the brink of financial ruin during the range wars.
tgarrison2,
I like the lightning thief book.
awilson2,
You don't have five sentences.
nmongo2
The book that you are reading looks like a great book.
tgarrison2; do you like this book. if you do you should see the movie. its so much better than the book
tgarrison; i agree i could watch the movie twilight over and over but i dont know about read the book over and over.
