I am reading the book The Capture written by Kathryn Lasky. I am currently on page 87. This book is written in first person. I belive it is written in first person because it uses "I" and "we" in the story. My book is being told by Soren's point of view.

I am reading I,Q, Independence Hall, by Roland Smith. I am currently on page 75. The story is told from a first person's point of view. It is told from the point of view of Quest, the main character. The reason is because it uses I, we, and contractions involving the use of I and we. One line was "'He Doesn't know?' I asked."

dblair6 said...

I am reading the hunger games by Suzanne Collins. I'm on page 89. My novel is told from a first person point of view. It is this because it uses i , we , my and other things that show it is first person.one example of this is when katniss says "i always dream of myself yelling at him trying to save his life".

dblair6 said...

My book is My Fair Godmother By: Janette Rallison and I am on page 79. My book is told in third person omniscient, the narrator knows all the thoughts and feelings of each character. The narrator first starts by explaining Jane, Savannah, and Hunter the main characters of the book. But at the beginning of the book it was in first person. I can’t wait to read the rest.

fgoetz2
GREAT Job!!!

captinlisha2
sounds like a good book.

nhamilton2 said...

I am still reading Through My Eyes with Tim Tebow. I am on page 89. The point of veiw is from Tim Tebow as the narrator. This book is in a first person veiw because it is through his eyes. Hense the name of the book.

asantacroce2 said...

I think the point of view for my book is first person. An example that it is first person is "I didn't know how to explain how lately I had more thoughts than ever before whirring though my head and sometime when I stopped to think about them I lose track of time.” Another example is “I was so happy that school was over, But we didn’t take the bus instead we went to go see Leonardo. The name of my book is Eight Keys, The author of my book is Suzanne Lafleur. The current page number I am on is page 66.

kkey2 said...

The book I’m currently reading is called Trapped by Michael Northrop. I’m on page 47 right now. The book is told from first person because the main character, Scotty was telling the story using I and we. One example was when he said “I should’ve have tried to call earlier, but it got so bad even for the office phone’’. This book is really good.

My book is Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I am on page 30. Among the Brave is told in first person. I believe its first person because Trey the main character uses I. Here is proof from the book. " I do one brave thing in my entire life and now its like. Got anything dangerous to do?"

The book I am currently reading is Bluford High Someone to Love Me the author of this book is Anne Schraff. The Page Number I am on is 120 this book is really good. The point of view of this book is 1st person because it uses I and it’s about how Cindy. This book also could be in 2nd person because it says you a lot in the article.

tnichola6 said...

dreynolds6 said...

The book I am currently reading is diary of a wimpy kid by Geff Kinney. I am on page 24. The authors point of view is first person. and it is said from the main character Greg heffely. For example he's always complaining about life.

eyakel6 said...

The book that I’m reading is Matched by Ally Condle. And I am on page 55. My book I told from the main character Cassias point of view. An example would be on page 45 when she says “ I looked over at the fountain again and as I watch the rise and fall of the water I know that my pause gives me away. So I answer.” Since she says I, I know she telling the story.

eyakel6 said...

wdalluge2
good example from your book to explain the point of view.

eyakel6 said...

asantacroce2
really good explanation on your post.

I am reading The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. I am on page 343. the book is narrated in the Third person point of view. Here is an excerpt from page 224 of the book that gives a clear example,... Then Frank and Percy burst into the open and began to massacre every source of fiber they could find. Frank shot an arrow through Barley, who crumbled into seeds. Percy slashed Riptide through Sorghum and charged toward Millet and Oats. Hazel jumped down and joined the fight...

@WDalluge2 you need to write more

mruvio6 said...

I’m on page 100 of Hide & Seek by: Katy Grant. The point of view of this book is told by 1st person and 3rd person. It sounds like both because he says “I let out a deep breath. At least they didn’t give me a hard time about being late. The way this book is written its hard to tell

mruvio6 said...

WDalluge2 you need five sentences.


llambert6 good job!

ccummings5 said...

I am reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I just finished the book. My book is being told in first person, which is Katniss's point of view.It only has her feelings and thoughts through out the book.

ccummings5 said...

asantacroce2

Good blog.

ccummings5 said...

mruvio6

That's a good book.

EPata2 said...

I have just finished the book Daniel X by James Paterson. I believe the book is written in a 1st person point of view. This is because in the whole story, the main character is telling the story as he goes along. A good example of this in the story is when he says," Why have we come back, I asked." Also, very often, Daniel asks the reader a question.

EPata2 said...

@ BCampbell5


Sounds like a good life story.

EPata2 said...

@mflippen6

Looks like a good book.

KAduBrempong2 said...

I am currently reading Havoc the second part of Malice. I am an page 122. I believe my book was written in a 3rd person point of view because the story is being told by a narrator. Its a really good book and I enjoy reading it.

KAduBrempong2 said...

Sounds like an amazing book.

KAduBrempong2 said...

I love adventure books with swords in it.

tdcole6 said...

The Million Dollar. Mike Lupica. Page 9. My book The MIllion Dollar Throw is written in the 3rd person. You can tell it was wrriten on the 3rd person because the book uses words like "he" "she" and "they.""As he scanned the field." That is a line in the book that shows how it is 3rd person. My book is written in the 3rd person because the narrator does not speak.

LMiller2 said...

I am currently reading Saving Private Ryan. I am on page 98. The point of view is 3rd person. It is a out side narrator telling what he can see but he can not hear what they think. Exp. Page 192 “walking through night.” “It hade been as if the squad were exploring an otherwise unpopulated planet.”

Adavis2 said...

@Epata2 Nice blog bro, but make sure to use more details.
@tdcole6 nice blog, but dont use sentence fragments.

I am reading Last Shot by John Feinstein. I am on page 198 and this is got to be my favorite book of all time. This book is told in first person perspective. The character sais "I" a lot and on page 180 it sais "I just think it would be good to have a backup copy." He sais "I" which means 1st person.

Dmcknight2 said...

I finished reading Malice by Chris Wooding. The point of view is 3rd person. In the book it changes from each character's point of view.The main characters are Kady, Seth, and Justin.

JWalker5 said...

I am currently reading “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway and I am on page 42. The point of view of my book is third person because in the story it said that he waited with the line between his thumb and his finger. The story talks about he (being the old man) and they (being the old man and the boy.

JWalker5 said...

OPanchal5 said...

I am currently reading Found. It is by Margeret Peterson Haddix and I am on page 31. The point of view this book is told from is 3rd person. It is third person because they don't say I or you.

@Bcambell5,

Good job

OPanchal5 said...

@human5,

Good job human

zotto5 said...

I am currently reading Inkheart by Cornella Funke and I am on page 164. The point of view my book is in is told from third person. I know this because you only know the feelings of who is telling that chapter, my book switches between people each chapter. A quote to help support this is, “Some bushes were so heavy with scent that they made Meggie dizzy.” Another quote is, “ Meggie tried to remember whether his voice was one of those she had heard in Elinor’s library, but she wasn’t sure.”

zotto5 said...

Jjones6- Nice job with the blog.
Eyakel6- Nice job also.

IRivera2 said...

The book I'm reading is Crossed by Ally Condie. I'm on page 193. The Point-of-View of my book is being told from 3rd person omniscient. I know this because the author gives Cassia's thoughts and Ky's thoughts. I think this is the best Point-of-view because i can read what the characters think instead of guessing what they think.

@WDalluge2
good job

@dsmith
nice

jphan2 said...

I am currently reading The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins. I am on page 106. This book is being tod from first person because it seems like Katniss is telling whats happening herself. To me, I think that Katniss is narrating her own story.

seems like a good book!

I am currently reading The Gift by James Patterson. I am on page 223. The point of view is on first point of view. It switches from Whit to Whisty's point of view but in each it tells their own thoughts and actions. Because they say I and me.

I am reading The Black Stallion by Walter Farley. The point of view is first person because the main character Alec is in a shipwreck and wakes up on an island than describes the places surroundings. Also there's a wild black horse on the island with him. Throughout the time on the island Alec fells like the horse is special. I'm on page 55.

gmontgomery2 said...

I just got done reading Snatched by Pete Hautman. The book was really good. I think the point of view of the book is 3rd person omniscient, the reason why is because the author knows everyone thought in the book. Also more than one person is speaking. The book was really good I love it.

LMiller2 nice post

nsmith5 said...

I am reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. THis book is written in a 3rd person omnisceint view. The way I can tell is because the layout of the book is being read as if it know's everyones thoughts.

JCardenas6 said...

Im currently reading Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke and on page 358.The point of view of my book 3rd person because all of the characters or not saying "I" or anything that refers to them.

kcarnes5 said...

I’m on page 26 of my book. I am reading Heat by Mike Lupica. My book is written in 3rd person. One example that I know that the point of view is 3rd person is the narrator always says how the other people felt and doesn’t say I felt. Also he explains different characters feelings and not just his own.
