I am finished with the book Secrets, Lies, and Algebra and the author is Wendy Lichtman. Wendy Lichtman’s purpose of writing this book was to entertain. Her perspective on the homicide is that she is a little curious. She wants to new know why Tess’s mom will not tell the cops about Nina’s death. If you like math and you are a girl you should read this.

smwilliams2, Did a great job on her post :)
smlilliams2, did a great job on their post :)
I am reading the book Bird written by Angela Johnson. I am currently on page 100. The author's purpose of this book so far is to entertain the reader with a story of a young girl named Bird. Her perspective on a runaway is even though what they are doing you should still help the ones in need. If you would like to read a story of a young girl looking for her stepfather this would be a good book for you.

I am currently reading Alfred Kropp by Rick Yancey. I am done with it and is one of my new favorites. The author’s purpose is to entertain. And the way he shows this is by it just being a fun adventure book about a young boy who saves the world from the Excalibur. And he shows that it is to entertain by making it fantasy instead of real.
My book I am reading is the eleventh plague by Jeff Hirsch.
The author's purpose to writing this book was to entertain reader. Readers were to imagine two kids living through aftermath of a war. Its also to entertain because the kids make a prank.
All kids and teens should read this

This book doesn't give facts and information or boigraphy on anyone, just a group of friends going throught some tough times together. Lisi's purpose is just to make you smile or frown but nothing real.
@ Ahutto

Nbrown5 The authors propose of this book dairy of a wimpy kid is to entertain us with a good realistic adventure. Its just telling us about his 6th grade year , the kid in this story is so a post to make a funny way of telling his story .
Right now I am reading Tiger Woods: The Biography and I am on page 63. The point of view for this story
I think is to entertain. The reason I say this is because it tells about Tiger's life and his career in golf. It also tells the challenges he went through to get where he is now. And the obstacles he had to overcome to be a great team player.
Currently I'm reading Until the End: The Graduation by Christopher Pike. I'm on page 755. Almost at the end! The Author's Purpose is to entertain. It's telling a story about a group of seniors that go to a graduation party and find out who killed Alice's sister. This is an AMAZING book!
@ smwilliam2
great job! I might read that book :)
nbrown5 I like that book it's really good.
@ LMiller2
Awesome :)Glad you like the book.
I think the point of view for my book is to entertain. The reason I think that is because for one it is a historical fiction book. There are also a lot of things that happen that you can’t really do. Also the book name of my book was the red blood horse. The author of my book is K.M. grant. I am on pg 0 because I finished the book a few days ago, but it was a good book.
I am reading the hunger games by Suzanne Collins .I am on page 127. the authors purpose is to entertain readers with a exciting action packed book .

Im reading The Help by kathryn stockett. I am on page 200. The authors purpose was to inform . The authors wanted to tell readers about a specific point in time where african american maids "the help" had to help raise white babies. I am loving this book . It is way better then the movie.
mlayne2 great job
smwilliams2 that book sounds good
I'm currently reading "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan. This is book 2 of the series. I'm on page 38. I think the author's purpose was to entertain you with a book that has Greek and Roman mythology with humor, action, and heart. The author wanted to tell you about Greek and Roman god's and their demigod kids with fake adventures. They are fake because they never really happened in Greek mythology.
LMiller2
Great way to describe the purpose. I read the Alfred Kropp series and I thought it was really good too.
IRivera2
Your book seems exciting.
I am finished with A long way from Chicago by Richard Peck. Richard Pecks purpose of writing this book was to entertain. She wants to tell a story of a boy named Joey, and a Girl named Mary, and a Grandma living a '' normal '' life. Joey and Mary go with Grandma over the years to show them on adventures they do, like going on airplane rides, or dressing up in the 1600s. Also, they build up the story to Joey going to fly airplanes, his dream thing. I liked this book finally, only took me the last 30 pages.
mlayne2
Sounds like a interesting adventure book
llambert6
Your book sounds very intersting, i like books about mythology
@irivera good job with doing your blog
fgoetz2 that seems like a good book
@lmiller2 your book sound really good
lmiller2 that was good i like that book
I am now finishing with Standing Against The Wind by Traci L. Jones. I think it is to entertain it was a really good book. The point of view was Patrice really wanted to go to Dogwood school Patrice made it and finally got the scholarship it was so amazing. I was so proud of her she did her best and finally got her wish but her mother was still and jail. But now she gets to go to Mississippi and live her dream I love this book.
The author's purpose for writing The Juvie Three is mostly to entertain. The author feels as if even you make one mistake you should always get another try. He also believes in helping endangered teenagers and getting them back onto the right track. I Am on page 216. The author is Gordan Korman.
@sedwards2 I Read that book! its a great book! Thats what i did my mini project on!
@llambert6 Rick Riordan is one of the best authors ever !!!
The book I am reading is called "Monster", and it is by Walter Dean Myers. I am currentlyom page 195. The purpose of Monster is to entertain the reader with the made up story of a kid who is being accused of a crime he didn't commit. The topic in the story is the jucdicical system, and in the story the author has a negative point of view torwards it. The reason I say this is about the judicial system is because the story takes place during his trial. It is an intriguing book and is very interesting to read from the prisoners point of view.
I am finished with the book Where I Belong by Gwendolyn Heasley. Gwendolyn Heasley's purpose of writing this book is to explain because it show's how the main character, Corrine's life changes from being rich to living in Texas. Her point of view in writing this book is to show that moving away isn't so bad. Moving is basically another way to start a new life, is what the author is trying to say. You should read this book if your'e into drama.
smwilliams
your post is really good!
asantacroce2
you post is really good!
I think the author's purpose for writing the book is to inform the reader. The book I am currently done with my book Bystander. The authors name is James Preller. He is a really good author and I hope to read more books about him. And he is one of my favourite authors. This book is one of the best books I have ever read.
What an amazing book.
This book is awesome, and I am still looking foward to read it.
The book I am reading is called The Million Dollar Throw and the author purpose is to entertain.The author is telling a story about a young boy following his dreams by playing football.The author name is Mike Lupica.I'll give this book a rating of a 7 out of 10.This is one of the best sport book i ever read.
KAduBrempong2 good comment
jphan2 good comment
The book I'm reading now is "Do Not Pass Go," by Kirkpatrick Hill. I haven,t started reading it yet but by the looks of it the author purpose is to entertain. With a funny story of how a boy doesn't want to visit his father in jail. And the story of a young man forced to grow up quickly.I think this book will be very in interesting just from the pro-log.
gmontgomery2
The Million Dollar Throw sounds like a great book to read
jphan2
Where I Belong sound like something i would like to read.
SMWilliams….
I love that book. It’s so good. I hope you liked it.
Aazoca6…..
I don’t know much about tiger woods. But it seems like a good book
My book is RL Stine the First Horror. I think that this book was written to entertain. I think this because it was based on super natural events. This book kept me at the edge of my seat. This is why I think its entertain. This book is good for people that like creepy things.
Marissa Meyer is the author of my book called cinder i am on page 62. I belive the authors pourpose is to entertain . Because it is based in the future, and there are cyborgs. cinder is also one of these, the cyborg cinderilla. What happens in th eis book could not be accomplished at this time. Marissa has a very creative mind.
fgoetz2 that seems really cool
mflippen6 i read that book it was really cool
I am currently reading the book, Found by Margaret Peterson. This book is the first of this series call Haddix. This book has about 300 pages in it. The author was trying to explain that this universe could happen. The future could be like this.
Great book aisom6 that was one that i want to read.
gparent5 that was a nice comment.
IRivera2
that sounds like a cool book. :D
I am finished with my book Witch and Wizard by James Patterson. I believe the authors purpose for the book was to entertain. It shows how a brother and sister go on an unexpected adventure and fight through tough times with courage, hope, and love. i enjoyed this book a whole lot and i will continue with the series. in the last part of the book there is a 'to be continued'
@smwilliams2
great post
@mlayne2
that sounds like a very good book
I am finished with my book TroubleTwisters by Garth Nix and Sean Williams. I would say the purpose of the book is to entertain. The author's perspective is for you to focus on everything that you do. During the entire book, Jack and Jadie only mention the lost of their parents when it was nessasary. At the end of the book they discovered their are troubletwisters, which is an apprentice wizard. Maybe that's how they focused so well.
@mlayne2 you did an awesome job, it is Justin approved.
@LMiller2 Great job on your post, Justin approved.
I have read the 39 Clues:The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan. this books purpose was to entertain. this book is a mystery where two kids, 11 year old Dan and 14 year old Amy are given the choice to either recieve the first clue of 39 clues to make them the most powerful family in the world or recieve one million dollars.The orphaned kids decide to go on the quest with their babysitter/au pair Nellie.They go on the quest and the first go to Pennsylvania. This book had a little bit of information but was mainly to entertain the reader.
@cdayawon-bobbitt5 That sounds like a fun book to read.
@smwilliams2 Maybe I should read that book because I love math and mysteries.
The book that i am reading now is Amigas. Written by veronica chambers and i am on page 5. The purpose for writing is to entertain the reader by telling a story about teenage girls throwing a quinceanera. The authurs point of view on how a party is planned is that it is stressful but a rewarding process. Because the author is writing alot about all the details and the different ideas that will make this party great i can infer that this is her point of view on party planning.
mlayne2
you did a great job writting and explanning your post.
wperkins6
Great job explanning your purpose in your post
bsammel5
I heard that is a good series.
ttaylor5
The Hunger Games is a really good book.
I'm reading the Giver, and I think the authors purpose is to entertain. Because so far the main character Jonas is feeling feelings, that doesn't happen in the communities. So he began to feel pressured that something is wrong with him and that he will be "Released". Also the point of view is first person because it is through Jonas' eyes. The author is Lois Lowry. I am on page 42.
jjones6
That book sounds interesting
tnichola6
Your book is about how the universe can happen?
I’m currently reading “Swindle” by Gordon Korman. I am on page 107. So far in the book I would say the author’s main purpose for writing would be to entertain. The author does inform a little on certain things but for the most part he entertains. My book is about a boy who gets cheated by a man who knows how valuable a baseball card is but cheats the boy and buys it for 100 dollars. I would say my author’s point of view is that stealing is wrong, however two wrongs don’t make a right.
excelent job gparent5
zbauer5 that is a really good book
My book's title is Money Hungry by Sharon G. Flake and I've finished. My author's purpose is to entertain. Her perspective on money is you can never have enough. Sometimes it's okay to be greedy. I think she also believes you shouldn't care what people think and to be like an open book.
@eyakel6 You did a good job explaining esspecially since you're on page 5!
@jphan2 That sounds like a cool book.
My book was Bystander. I have finished. I think the book was to entertain. To show you a book about a boy who might be a bystander bully or a victim. I enjoyed the book.
I am reading Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. The author’s purpose of writing this book is to inform. I am on page 10. My author’s point of view on a topic so far is that he loves nature. The first couple of pages are him going on and on describing a wonderful scene of nature. He is talking about the beautiful plants and flowers to the animals. I can tell he loves nature due to the diction in his writing.
smwilliams2 Sounds like an interesting story. Maybe her mom won't tell the cops about her death because she doesn't like the cops, I don't blame her..
mlayne2 Poor Liv everything bad happens to her.
I am currently reading The Body Finder by: Kimberly Derting. I am page 15. I think the author’s purpose is to entertain the reader with a story about a girl who finds dead animals and is starting to find other things. Since I’m not that far into my book I’m not that sure of authors point of view on the topic is but its probably just to entertain. So far I like this book.
jphan2 Yeah I've moved a few times and it's scary at first but you get udes 2 it and its not that bad.
wperkins6 I agree you should still help the ones in need.
I am reading the book Reckless by Cornelia Funke.I just started. The authors purpose is to entertain with short creepy stories. She wrote to kinda scare and entertain us.
I am currently reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman. I am on page 146. The author wrote this book to entertain readers. I think the author wants people to consider what one event can do to someone. Risa, Connor and Lev have to run from their cops because their parents sent to have then unwound and they didn't want to. The parents didn't realize how this decision would affect their kids.
@ jjohns6 good post.
wperkins6 good post
Irivera2- That sounds like a really good book.
Jphan2- You did a good job with the blog.
I am currently reading "The boy on cinnamon street".The author is Phoebe Stone.I am on page 38.Her perspective on the book is she thinks that Louise should find out about her family secert.Also my book is a mystery.
Smwilliams 2 i will most deffiantly read your book this year.
mlayne2 your book seems very good.
hrivera2
The book I am reading is Wicked by Gregory Maquire. I think the authors purpose was to entertain because its about a girls life named Elphaba. She has a hard time growing up because she has a Mother and Father who do not love her because she is green. Elphaba gets into a school called Shiz and does not get along with her room mate Galinda.
hrivera2
mlayne did a good job with the blog and describing the book.
hrivera2
Dmcknight2 i want to read that book.
I am reading Theodore Boone kid lawyer by John Grisham. I am on page 33. His purpose in writing this book is to entertain. His point of view on what happened so far is that kids can be respected. Theodore is know throughout the courthouse and he is involved in a lot of what goes on.
gmontgomery2
Good comment.
zbauer5
I read that book last year.
I have completed the book Interworld and the author(s)are Neil Gaiman and Micheal Reaves. Gaiman and Reaves reason of writing this book was to entertain. His perspective on dimension travel is being shy and curios for anwsers. But later on he realises that he has a lot more then just himself to worry about. If you enjoy reading fantasy and interworld travel type of writing you should read this book.
CCummings5
Im reading that book right now.
LMiller 2
Thats sounds interesting.
I am reading Showoff by Gordon Korman and I am on page 72. I think the authors purpose is to entertain you because the book's moods changes. The authors point of view is to follow the plan.So we could get Luther back to savannahs home. But first they had to win the dog show.
@gpena5 that book sounds interesting
@kcarnes I finished every book in that series except the one I am reading now
i am currently reading sunrise over fallujah. Iam on page 150. the author is walter dean myers. his purpose in this book is to entertain but is have a strong meaning and back story. his perspective is you should never give up on any thing or do it half way. if you like this and you believe in this then this is the book for you.
My book is Schooled by Gordon Korman. I am on page 206. The authors purpose to entertain the reader. I think his perspective is that being kind can get you very far in life. The reason i think that is because Cap is very kind throughout the whole book and he ends up with a lot of friends at the end.
@DReynolds That book sounds awesome by the title.
@EPata2 that sounds like an creepy book by the characters names.
tcole6
i like your book u need to tell me more bout it when we get home
adavis2
i like your book sharp ashooter cause we got the same book :)
My book "Boost" is a story to entertain the reader. It's a little bit of both entertain and inform. To tell a dramatic and a touching story about a long journey of basketball for young Savvy Christopher. It entertains because it has alot of jokes and and humor on basketball but also stays serious. It is a wonderful book and i would read it again any day. Book: Boost by Kathey Mackel. i am now done with the book.
@SFreer2 we now have the same book, by the way, Good Post!
@LMiller2 Wow, i love that book! Read it last year!
I am reading the book the trials of Kate Hope. The author is wick downing and I am on page 27. So far it has been to inform. It is informing by telling and giving you background information on Kate hope. It’s giving you this information to lead you onto the next part of the book so that you understand it better.
I finished Schooled By Gordon Korman. The authors purpose for writing this book is to entertain. He wrote this book to entertain the readers about a story of a hippie kid that never encountered anyone in the real world. Hes point of view is to not judge someone on how they look like. And not be mean to someone just to act cool or look good infront of your friends.
im currently eading the book tangerine by edward bloor im on page 20, and i think the authers purpose is to entertaine becouse it telling you a good story thats not true
mlayne2 Good job on your book.
Adavis2 Good interesting story
The book I just started is a Journal of William Thomas Emerson by Barry Denenburg. The authors purpose of writing this is to entertain about a boy who is in the Revolutionary War. The authors point of view is that he was glad that the Americans won the war.
Mlayne2 good job on your blog.
The author is passionate about the war and how it all began. I am currently on page 70 in my book.
swilliams2 Ive never heard of that book I hope it was good.
i'm currently reading " the wild soccer bunch. I'm on page 77. the author is joachim Masannek.I beleve the authors pupose is to pursade. thats it so far.
great book smwilliams2
I am currently reading Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers and have recently finished it. It was a very good book and I believe the author’s purpose is to entertain as well as to inform. It entertains by telling a story about a young boy in the Vietnam War. And the way it informs is it makes you realize how lucky we are to live in a free country. And that we have people protecting us and will to give their live for our freedom.
The book that I’m reading is called The Old Man and the Sea
by Ernest Hemingway and I am on page 41. I think that the author’s
Purpose is entertain because in the book, they talk about baseball
Players and the New York Yankees and I think the author’s point of view
Is that when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade.
