The book i am reading is called "The Twinkie squad", by Gordon Korman, i am on page 54. The main character in my book is commando,he is currently on six grade he's small with black hair and brown eyes, he is very aggressive, he is always in trouble,and that's why he is in the twinkie squad.Commando is also a very happy person,but he is rude and mean sometimes,he is cruel when he wants to be cruel. Commando once grab a kid by its neck and pull him up, sounds very aggressive but its true. so that's my main character on my book.
Comment!!!
My book is “Between the Lines” by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. I am currently on page 137 of 356. My main character in my book is Delilah. She’s in high school but she’s not the social type. “I’m weird. Everyone says so. I suppose it’s because while other fifteen year olds are talking about the best lip gloss and which movie star is hotter, I would rather be curled up with a book.” She prefers reading whenever she can. She lives a hard life not having many friends and not many people to turn to with her problems. Her friend Jules and her mom are the only people she really talks too. She’s a shy person and doesn’t like to big in larger groups of people.
that sound like a interesting book
The book I am currently reading is "The Breaker Boys" by Pat Hughes, and the page I am currently on is 155. The Main character in my book is Jeff because he is like the leader to all the other boys. Jeff is the boys who goes find work to do and it doesn't matter what it is he is going to get the boys to help him. Jeff is a compassionate caring type of guy. "awe look at him he's so nice and loving" says Mrs. Avery. Jeff is one of the most loving guys in his town he makes sure that if he see's anything wrong he will try to fix it. I prefer you to read this book because it's young kids that like to work, that's why I like it.
I am currently reading Download Drama, I am on page 92. My main character is a girl she is tough, Outgoing, nice and she knows how to dance. The author characterizes them as the tough person in the story. My character isn’t stubborn at all they say what they have on their mind. They have a very good personality on them.
@ Accook Great job on your blog.!
@ramram2 good job on your blog.!
i am reading lord of the rings the two towers by j.r.r Tolkien. i am on page 278. the main character is frodo baggins he is a cheerful hobbit who enjoys adventure just like his uncle bilbo baggins.
The book I am currently reading is Showoff, by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 114. The main character in my book is very sneaky, like me. In the book Griffin, the main character, has a nickname. It is the man with a plan. His plans always sound so full proof, but when it actually goes down something gets in the way. Griffin likes planning. Obviously his nickname tells you that. But whenever he does want to do something he is to caught up in a plan that he doesn't have time for anything else.
accook: keep up the good work
tbanks: good job
I am reading Mike Lupica's "Comeback Kids 2 Minute Drill", and I am on page 180. The main character in my book at first is a quitter. In the book he wants to quit football because he felt that his teammates were treating him poorly. His attitude in the book changes as his friend Chris makes him better at football. When he got better, he decided to stay on the team. \
@accook Sounds like a great book.

the book I am currently reading is HALO THE FLOOD by William C. Dietz. The main character's name is John aka spartan 117 aka the Master Chief. He is a soldier equipped with advanced power armor and has been awoken from cryo stasis to defend mankind from an evil alien race called the covenant. Yet still the Chief manages to keep his cool no matter whats thrown at him, carrying out his orders with no opposition and still managing to keep up his dry sense of humor that seems to spark some hope in the marines fighting beside him.
My book is "Number the stars". The main character is Annemarie , Her personality is very outgoing and shy at times. Annemarie thoughts concern her being brave enough to protect her close family friends , "The Ros ens" whom is a Jewish Family. In my opinion Annemarie is Brave, caring, she shows determination. In The book she was told to take on a dangerous task she was risking her life throughout the whole book. Page #98, Author Lois Lowery.

The book I am reading is called Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rolling, I am currently on page 343. The main character is Harry Potter. He's a wizard who was raised by his "muggle" family Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and his cousin Dudley. He is supposed to be the "bane" to the dark wizard Voldemort. As such he had to become courageous. Harry also had to use his wits in order to survive the many hardships set before him. Harry likes to play the wizarding sport "quidditch." He seems to think that's all he is good at. His has two best friends Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger.
accook that sounds like one nasty character
I am reading The Last Apprentice revenge of the which and i am on page 95. The main character of this book is Thomas Ward, who has been taken by the spook as an apprentice. With this job, even though he has only been in it for about 6 months, he has to be more brave than you could imagine. "he's been in bed with a bad fever for this past week so he's sent me to take his place. I'm tom ward. His apprentice". This is evidence that he is brave from he actions, since this would normally be a job for a well trained spook, but he did it anyway.
@emasio6 Sounds like a cool book,
I should give it a read sometime.
@rabram2 I had a friend like the main character in that book a long time ago.

I'm reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I'm on page 105. The character who this books point of view is from is Nick's. Nick is a very straightforward guy, he's kind, and he does help people when needed. An example of his willingness to help is [spoiler] when Gatsby needed his help so he could have a lady over for tea, he was very fine with it and had no problem with it.
@rabram2 Sounds like a good book
@accook looks good.
My main character is Steve Thomas and he is a sports reporter. He gets very jealous about a lot of things like when he lost his job and they gave it to somebody who didn’t even know sports, or how his girlfriend is spending a lot of time with the new reporter. He is always in the middle of the trouble no matter where he goes. But he is very courageous because even when he knows that he is going to get in to trouble he still sticks through with it till the very end. He always has a tired look on his face so people always tell him that he needs some sleep.
I picked up from where I left off in a book called Let's get lost by Sara Gruen. I'm on page 103 and the main character is Isabelle. Using STEAL, you can easily characterize her by her actions. Isabelle is very rude and would be considered a bully. She even has her own little group of friends who are the same way. They party a lot and drink even though they're under age. At one of the parties, Isabelle meets a boy named Smith and begins dating him making him think she's 18 when she's actually 16.
From these actions and choices Isabelle makes, I would say Isabelle is very misbehaved and reckless. She can also be considered rude from her speech and the tone the book gives her. Isabelle is very rude to her father and usually ends up fighting with him.
Al though Isabelle acts like this and speaks like this, her thoughts differ. She doesn't want to be this way but she is afraid to let her guard down. Ever since her mom died she has been this way and she doesn't really understand why. She always tells herself how badly she wants to change. Deep inside she knows she's rude and reckless.
rabram2 That sounds like a really good book. I loved thw quotes you used to describe your charecter.
@jritter2 Great blog!
pohara2 That sounds like a really good book. I have been meaning to read it for a long time. I like how you described the main charecter.
@pohara2 The Great Gatsby is awesome book! Hope you enjoy it.
emasio6 that book sounds really good.
snturner3 let's get lost sounds like a good book
I have finished the book DUKE by Kirby Larson. the main character in my book is Hobie he is the type of guy that tries to make his own decisions for himself. But if he messes up or when he thinks he messed up he relies on other people to help him. "do you think i made the the right choice with Duke?" He dicided that he made the wrong choice so he tried to get Duke back. The only thing that stoped him was the letters he has been getting frome his dad saying how proud of Hobie he was for making his decision.
@snturner good job
I am reading "The Ghost in the Machine" by Patrick Carmen and I am on page 164. The main charecter in my book is Ryan. The point of veiw the book is told from is first person. Ryan comes across as a trouble maker. He usually goes along with whatever his friend Sara tells him to do. He's also a bit shy to people other than her. He is a very detective like. Using STEAL an action Ryan does to make me think this is he tries to sneak in to an abandon building to investigate the death of a worker there long ago(of course it was Sarah's idea).
@jritter good job
I am reading SilverFin by Charlie Higson and I am on page 217.The main character in my book is James Bond and he is in college and Eton which is in England. James is tall for his age and slim, pale, gray-blue eyes, and black hair. " He had tried to bursh his hair into a perfect, neat shape but, as usual, failed." This shows his actions, he tries to look perfect.
rabram..
Your books sounds great. I can really imagine how your character acts. OR what type of person she is.
I am currently reading Scarlet, the second book in the Lunar Chronicles series, by Marissa Meyers and I am on page 360. Scarlet, the main character of my book is presented as stubborn. She is strong and independent just like her grandma. Page 207 paragraph one line 4 “Half the time we would end up fighting with each other, because we both have such big opinions and are too stubborn to admit were wrong about something.” One example of STEAL is on Page 206 paragraph 6 “when I lived with my dad, I used to throw fits, and tantrums, and break things and make up stories.” The steal represented here is speech. This sentence shows that she is rebellious without saying it in the sentence.
I'm on page 314 of The Rule of Three and the author is Eric Walters, and this is realistic fiction. The main character or Adam personality is mainly a mix between smart and tactical or dumb and winging it. The author characterizes him as a smart, thoughtful, and lucky person. This falls under speech: Adam says"Herb, I know you fired the gun, but I know I'm just as responsible>" This meant he didn't kill anyone but he helped Herb kill someone. This shows that he is responsible for something he didn't do or take the fall for. Adam is a caring person who always or tries to go with the best option on keeping people alive.
bmitcghell2: That sounds tough for Steve and good summary.
kberry2: Saw the movie and it goes well with your description for the character.
@jkoenig
Your blog was great!
@jmartin3

I am reading "The Running Dream" by Wendelin Van Draanen,and i am currently on page 206. the main character in my book is Jessica. she is a teenager in high school not, she is kinda the one in the shadows you don't really notice. Jessica had once been one of her schools top runners. Though a serious accident changed that, she had to get her leg amputated after truck smashed into her school bus and she got her leg stuck. she had been a fun loving person but the accident hanged her mood. "I know I have been moody since the accident, but you try losing a leg." said Jessica. She is aware that she is acting different but she has gone through different stuff too.

I am currently reading The Last Apprentice
Revenge of the Witch
I am on pg.38
The main character in the book is Tom. Tom is teen boy who is the Seventh son and has been chosen to work with the Spook. Tom is a frightened teen who is not at all tough. Tom glanced at the dead bodies hanging on the trees in shock.
"What's the matter, lad?" asked the spook, turning to look back at me. "If you're frightened of something on your own doorstep, you'll be of little use to me."
The book I am currently reading is Heat by Mike Lupica and I am on page 168. The main character in my story is Michael Arroyo. Michael is a young boy who is living up in The Bronx (New York City borough)just playing baseball. He is a very humble kid who loves to just have fun with his friends and play baseball. You can tell he is humble through his speech because kids "praise" him and he never agrees even though he knows it true.
Aparker5: Great blog!
Aachristian4: That sounds like a great book.
The book I'm reading is Lost in the River of Grass by Ginny Rorby and I'm on page 74. The main character is a fifteen year old girl named Sarah. Sarah can be bratty, caring, and is unpopular among her classmates, but loved by a sixteen year old boy named Andy. On page 43, it says,"'Shut up Amanda!I wasn't talking to you!'" Sarah yells at Amanda for no reason making her a bratty person.
Amazing blog MMoss6!
Currently I am reading the elegantly written book “Four” by Veronica Roth, and I am on page #223. This book, instead of being like the other books in the Divergent universe, are from Four’s perspective, though in Abnegation he is known as Marcus Eaton and Evelyn’s son, Tobias Eaton. Normally the books would be from Beatrice (Tris) Priors wonderful POV, but you can learn from this book more about Four’s history, well more than what you can learn in the Divergent Trilogy, “Divergent” “Insurgent” and “Allegiant”. Tobias, since he was born originally in Abnegation, must, at least try to become as ‘fearless’ as a Dauntless born initiate. He is often nervous when he is pitted in a social interaction between people he may not know, though when he is in the ring, he will not stop fighting and will not care about your little welts and bruises from past fights. He learns from his past and of what he is taught. Tobias talks quite intelligently because his father was the person in charge of the Abnegation faction, though sometimes in the beginning when he was still learning to forget his Abnegation ways he was afraid to step out of line when he said something to someone who might be stronger than him. After two or so years of being in Dauntless Tobias is able to be a teacher to the new initiates from Dauntless and transfers from other factions. Sometimes he may be rash, and is not very quick to come up with a convincing lie to his superiors but most of the time he just tries to fit in, pretending to be a Dauntless born instead of a transfer, especially a Stiff.
I am rereading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan and I have finished it. The main character in my book is Jason Grace. The personality of Jason is determined and strong. I know this because he does many heroic things and he does things he didn't even think he would be able to do like floating on air and battling 2 giants. When he was attempting to defeat the greatest giant he was boasting his accomplishments "I toppled the dark lords throne myself, I am the son of Jupiter, etc." his friend Leo said "dude, have you been eating red meat?."
snturner good job on your blog post
I like your post rabram, it clearly gives evidence why you think she is shy.
I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and am on page 304. The main character is Katniss Everdeen and she shows the trait bravery. It states “But the ones I hated are winning, and if she clings to me, she’ll be lost as well. “Prim, let go!” And finally she does.” This is brave because she could have died and she put her sister before herself. This trait was given to me by the speech category from STEAL.
@Cmcknight4
Great post!!
@alandi4
That book sounds good!
Nice response rabram2 you meant the expected recommendations.
nice response gpettit2
My main character in my book is Darcy. Darcy is a sweet & loving girl she is sixteen in the 10 grade, she is very caring, mature, & confident. The author characterizes her in a nice way because in the book it tells how she helped out her grandmother through the story. She helps her sister & mother when her mom is under a lot of stress. One example of S.T.E.A.L is “actions”. Darcy actions show that she is all ways concerned for others. The name of my book is Until We Meet Again and it is by Anne Schraff and I am done with the book (but I am still reading other books).

I am currently finished with a Sudden light and the author Garth Stein. The main character is very curious and his action prove it. He is always snooping.
CMcknight4
Amazing job!
The book i was reading is ' i even funnier' by James Patterson. I am done with the book right now. The main character in the book is Jamie Grimm and he is funny and this relates to me because I'm funny too. Jamie doesn't care that he's in a wheelchair he just 'rolls' with it. Also, he can be very courageous at some points. Once he was rolling full speed at a bully and was gonna 'run' him over.that is my character in my book.
I am reading “Lost in the River of Grass” by Ginny Rorby and I just finished the book. The main character of this book is stubborn, scared, and complains a lot throughout the book. Sarah didn’t like any of the other girls in her class but she didn’t have any problem with the guys, she just didn’t like talking to them. “Maybe-with some luck-they’ll get eaten by alligators (page 31). However, over all the main character is mostly scared because she’s lost in the middle of the everglades with barely and food or water and with a guy she hardly knows.
emasio6: good job
@accook
Great post. commando seems very strict.
@emasio6
Good job on your pot it was very descriptive
rohlendorf2: you need to make your blog at least 5 sentence.
My book is Ghost Hawk by Susan Cooper I'm on page 193. My main character is Little Hawk he is dead. He is a ghost now and he talks to a boy named John. He gives him advice and is now teaching him how to speak in native tounge. He has helped him through his years of life and he is very caring. That is what my main character is like.
bwilson2 sounds good
MPickles6 long post!
I am currently finished with A Sudden Light by Garth Stein. One of the main characters traits is that he is very curious. He wants to learn all of the secrets that the mansion holds. He is also very explorative he wants to explore every part of the mansion. And finally he is very childish because he acts like he is very young.
bwilson. That sounds very spooky.
accook. He sounds scary.
The book im reading is the 39 clues, byGordan Korman, im on page 70. The main character in my book is the thirteen-year old Dan cahill and his sister Amy. They belong to the most powerful family. They are both aggressive and intelligent. They are both shy people but when you get to know them there okay. Dan once put gas all over some dude and almost lite him on fire. Thats cruel!
Blog #6) I am currently reading Theodore Boone the accused, it is written by John Grisham, and I am on page 133. My main character is Theodore but likes to be called Theo. He has a very loving personality for others and doesn’t like to get into fights. The “T” form STEAL he believes in the judicial system, since he wants to become a lawyer.
I am reading “How My Journal Became a Bestseller” by Julia Devillers and I am on page 180. I am almost done with my book. The main character in my book is Jamie. She is very enthusiastic, friendly, and outgoing. The author characterize her by showing it in the book indirectly. For example, “I was really happy when I got to be on TV! But I was a little worried about the interview.” This shows Jamie is shy sometimes, but she is really outgoing. I like the way she always overcome herself even though sometimes it is hard and difficult.
@rraisch6 I like your details. Interesting book!
@kyebik62 Good job. I like your book.
The book I am currently reading is Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard, and I am on page 269. I have four main characters in my book, but the one I chose to do the blog on as Spencer Hastings. The STEAL word I decided to do was looks. Spencer looks smart, and she is. She also makes herself look fashionable. So she doesn't look nerdy but smart and cute. Spencer has some spunk in her; she stands up for herself.
@bwilson2 good job!,
@rabram2 nice job!!
The book i am reading is Change-Up.The main character is Stevie.He is a kid sports reporter who has been to tons of major sports events.It seems that Stevie is always curious and looking for something to investigate.
@Mpickles Long but good.
@TBanks3 Good job.
I am reading "Peeled" by Joan Bauer and I am on page 231. MY main character is Hildy Biddle. She is brave and she is really intelligent. The author characterizes her by making her more impossible to stop and smarter through out the story. By Hildy quoting "Mrs. Kutash, I checked everything. I killed myself to get it right", shows that Hildy's character trait is outgoing (speech).
JATWOOD3, really good work. next time list the page numbers and author of your book.
kmanderino5, nice work and details.
My book is “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins. I am currently on page 205. My main character in my book is Katniss Everdeen. She is a very courageous girl. She is also very brave. “Instead I throw myself directly between the whip and Gale. I’ve flung out my arms to protect as much of his broken body as possible, so there’s nothing to deflect the lash. I take the full force of it across the left side of my face.” She does whatever she can to protect the ones she love. That including her family, gale, Peeta, etc.

I'm reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, by Sherman Alexie, I'm currently on page 200. The main character in my book is Junior, he's a Indian kid, that has brain seizures, he was skinned, he and he has huge feet. "My feet were a size eleven in the third grade!" He also has a enormous skull. "My head was big that little Indian skulls orbited around it, and some kids even called me the Orbit." Junior is a really fun person, but sometimes if someone gets him angry he can be really aggressive. One time at his school he got really angry because there was someone bullying him then he punched in the face and made him bleed.
@Cmcknight4:Good blog!!!

I am reading "Charle and the chocolate factory" by Roald Dahl and I am on page 150.The main character is a boy named Charle. Charle and his family are really poor but he is really nice. The author shows that he is nice in the book. One example "Here Mother,have a bit.We'll share it.I want everybody to taste it."said Charle.
It was one chocolate bar that Charle got for his birthday present and everyone was starving, even Charle. He wanted to share. It was very nice. In the STEAL it is Speech.
@rabram2 It is good.
@MPickles6 good job!
I'm reading Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli and I just finished it. The main character in my book is Will Tuppence, an everyday realistic 9th grader, who loves science. Jerry Spinelli uses experiences and events to describe will's personality, events like falling in love and experiencing family emergencies. Will speaks very angrily and annoyed towards his sister tabby, Will often thinks about what happens to Protons and all about general science, Will is pretty friendly towards most people like Mi-Su and B.T. his best friends, Will gets upset with his friend B.T. when playing monopoly and snaps a lot, and Will is tall with brown hair and longer hair. Spinelli uses many different techniques to describe his main character Will and makes it very easy to visual him as a person.
@tbanks3 Jeff sounds like a nice guy! haha I could picture knowing someone like that in real life. Good blog!
@kberry2 one of my favorite books! The way you explain Harry's description in the book is accurate for sure. I hope you love the rest of the book!
I have finished the book is "Haunted" by Kirsten and P.C. Cast. The main character book of my book is Zoey Redbird. Zoey is a young sixteen year old girl who has been chosen by goddess known as Nyx to become a vampyre. She has been blessed with the affinities for all five elements. Zoey is smart, stubborn, brave, and passionate. Once she sets something to mind, she does it. Though she can insecure at times, she doesn't let anything stand in her way. Once she saved her human friend, Heath, from a Raven Mocker (the result of hatred and evil, caused by a dark fallen angel known as Kalona.). She jumped in front of Heath as the Raven Mocker struck and was left with deadly scare from her left shoulder and across her chest and to her right shoulder. That shower that she is brave because she knew she may have died if she saved him.
Yyoon3; Charle and the chocolate factory is a book? I never knew that.
Jperkins5; sounds interesting!
The book I am reading is "Hunger Games Catching Fire" I am currently on page 80. The main character is Katniss she is 19 with brown eyes and black hair. She is extremely passionate as she volunteered to take her sister's place in a deadly game. She is deadly with a bow and extremely athletic as she ran from so many deadly creatures.
accook that sounds like a dynamic character
fwbougher Master Chief is extremely strong and brave by the way you describe him.
I just finished my book "The Adoration of Jenna Fox" by Mary E. Pearson. I just finished the book and now i'm working on the essay. On page 217 Jenna thought to herself "This doesn't seem right; will you help me find out what it is? That quote shows that she is questioning her past and wondering what happened before the "wreck" that was told put her in a coma. Is what she was told the truth, or was it all just a lie?
tbanks3: Sounds like a great book!
gpetit2: That seems very interesting. I might read it later this year.
I am currently reading 39 clues Beyond the Grave. I am on page 88. One of my main characters is Dan Cahill. Dan is a clumsy and loud person. "Dan let out a whoop The Cotton gin." this is how the author says how loud he is.

I am currently reading The Raft by S.A. Bodeen, and I am finished with the book. The main character of the book is Robie and she is selfish. The author describes the character as selfish when she pushes a man overboard and he dies so she can save her life. The author uses E from steal to represent her because she pushes him over and that effects the family of the man.She never thought of the effect it would be when she did that.
Nice job rabram2
Good job ABedard6
My book is "The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod" , "Eighth Grade Bites" by Heather Brewer and I'm on page 118. My main character is Vlad, you can describe him as an easy going person or "lazy". For example when he and his best friend Henry were talking, "Did you do your h.w."Does putting my name on the paper count?" Also one time on halloween Henry dared Vlad to do something daring. " What would Mark and Todd think if they saw?" "But then why should he care about what they thought." Proving he is an easy going person and doesn't even mind what the very people who bully him thinks.

My book is called "Theodore Boone:the abduction" by John Grisham,and i'm on page 161. Theodore is a very sweet and quiet kid who doesn't really get into trouble.He has a friend named April Finnemore who has been abducted and everyone is trying to find her.he might only be a kid but he takes the responsibility of organizing a search party against his parents wishes and he takes everything as if it was a court hearing.One of the examples of S.T.E.A.L is that he's very sarcastic like on page 145 he said "home alone.serial killer in the basement." His mom left him at the house by himself when he really didn't want to be there so he was being sarcastic towards her. he's the really strict type of guy and has a schedule every day.

@aparker5 good summary
I am reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and I have finally finished all 722 pages of my book. The main character in my book is a young boy named Kvothe. Kvothe is extremely intelligent and very aware of it. He is also witty, sarcastic, and a little bit evil. For example, at one point when trying to find a horse to take him 70 miles in one day, he tells the man selling him a horse, "If you sell me a horse that throws a shoe, or starts to limp, or spooks at shadows, I will miss a valuable opportunity. A quite unrecoverable opportunity. If that happens, I will not come back and demand a refund. I will not petition the constable. I will walk back to Imre this very night and set fire to your house. Then, when you run out the front door in your night shirt and stockle-cap, I will kill you, cook you, and eat you. Right there on your lawn while all your neighbors watch." He also threatens other people in the same way throughout the book, which always made me laugh and disturbed me at the same time.
The book I'm reading is the ultimate Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and it happens to be written by Douglas Adams; I'm on page 90. Arthur Dent is the otherwise hapless main character in an epic journey across the cosmos. Arthur is usually found in his bath robe and pajama pants. The unfortunate reason for that happens to be, because his home world known as Earth got destroyed for a intergalactic freeway. He invariably learns many life lessons in his odyssey across an insane, and chaotic universe.
MPickles6: Great job!You had a couple of unnecessary details in there, but other than that you had a great post.

Jperkins5... very creative keep it up.
rabram2... I like it I'll be sure to check it out.
I am finished reading Holes by Louis Sachar and the last page was 233. The thing about Stanley is that he has a certain effect on the people around him in the book. “You know I feel kinda weird with you reading over my shoulder” “I don’t know how to read. These words stuck with Stanley because it bothered him because zero didn’t know how to read. This problem helped Stanley at end when they realized that the treasure they where looking for was his great-grandfathers treasure.
good blog @reabram2
nice job kbultler3
I am currently reading The last shot by John Feinstein. I'm on page 196. My main character is a college new reporter who wants to do big things. His personality would be and ambious because he wants to succeed as a news reporter. The author characterizes him by saying in the story "Stevie decided that night that he was going to be a reporter. This goes under the category of T thoughts.
I am reading “How My Journal Became a Bestseller” by Julia Devillers and I am on page 180. I am almost done with my book. The main character in my book is Jamie. She is very enthusiastic, friendly, and outgoing. The author characterize her by showing it in the book indirectly. For example, “I was really happy when I got to be on TV! But I was a little worried about the interview.” This shows Jamie is shy sometimes, but she is really outgoing.
This is an examples of SPEECH.
I like the way she always overcome herself even though sometimes it is hard and difficult.

I am reading "Prisoner B-3087" by Alan Gratz, I am on page 80. The main character in my books name is Yanek. He was a very brave young man. "I knew I couldn't take it with me." Pg. 77
But even though he couldn't take anything with him he still took 2000 zloty (money) with him. "Using a needle and thread of my mother's that had been left behind, I tore out one of the seams in my prisoner coat and sewed the money inside." Pg. 78
He is a very strong, brave, and hopeful young man who will survive the Nazis taking over.
@accook Good job.
@rambram2 Very good answer.
The book i read was "Ender's Shadow" by Orson Scott Card I've finished my book with a total of 467 pages without the acknowledgments.My main characters name is Bean. He is the smartest of all the little kids. "bean is the smartest kid I bet I will ever see". Another reason he is smart is because he is nerdy. "Ha-ha nerd now look who is smart." Bean is a bit stubborn as well.
@gpanipinto4 nice comment but you should still improve a little.
@accook that's pretty good considering you are only on pg 54.
My book is "Nightmarys" by Dan Poblocki and I am on page 238. My book has two main characters in it. The first on is named Timothy July and the second ones name is Abigail Tremens. Timothy is very curious and nosy. Also he is very persistent and he tries to get stuff done. Abigail is a quiet and mysterious girl. Okay so Abigail always cares i lighter with her and one day in class she was lighting her sock on fire and then it would just put its self out. Abigail is also has a sensitive side. like one time in the book Abigail and Timothy were looking at this painting for there school project and then they got all wet and Abigail started getting really upset and ran away crying. So that is my two main characters.
good job rabram2 that is very well written.
very descriptive, well done jritter2.
I am reading All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn and I'm currently on page 161. I actually have two main characters Travis and his sister Corey. Corey is a great liar, a brilliant story teller, and actor because even though she never seen a ghost they believed her storymorning. "last winter, I was sleeping over at my friend Julie's house, and something woke me up in the middle of the night. This old lady was standing at the foot of the bed and staring at Julie." Corey paused to let the suspense grow. "The next morning I expected to see Julie's grandmother, but when I asked where she was, Julie's mother said she lives in Pennsylvania 'then who was that old lady in the bedroom?' I asked, 'There's no old lady here,' her dad said. "Just then the phone rang,which brought upon the news of her grandmother's death which was right around the time when I seen her. She'd came to say goodbye." Mrs.Jennings graves her husband's hand. "Oh I'm all over goosebumps." This shows her effect on others and thoughts because the next time when there was a ghost sighting at the Inn they all came to Coreythoughts believing she's a physics. "The next morning, Corey and I (Travis pov) found the Jenningses waiting for us." "Did you see it? , what do you think it wants?" Said Mr. Jennings.
Travis personality is A prankster and a helper, and someone you can rely on to help you out especially if you're telling a lie. "A couple of hours later, we parked our bikes in front of a tourist-bait shop, and went inside. We found white and green face makeup, black stuff for Corey's eyes, dark purple lipstick, and a bunch of other junk- rubber eyeballs that glowed in the dark, plastic spiders, rubber snakes, spray-on cobwebs, a haunted-house sound-effects CDs, a lantern, candles, and flashlights that casts a blue beam. In a secondhand store, Corey bought a long white filmy scarf." This was all to play a ghost prank on the guests at the Inn. Travis actions shows how he is a prankster.
@jglover2 Nice s.t.e.a.l example
@cmbascom6 nice summary and s.t.e.a.l example
My book is called 39 clues,by margret peterson. My character is named dan cahill and he is a goofy but sometimes serious kid. The other characters in the book also describe him as that. In certain situations he acts serious but in other situations he turns goofy. He once tried to spit on someones limo just because he doesn't like that person. When you think about it that was both goofy and serious.
great
I am on page 239 of Cover Up by John Feinstein. The main character in the book is Stevie Thomas.Stevie is kindof a nerd but when bad he turns into a superhero. The authors characterized him as a nerdy, passionate, smart, sympathetic, emotional, and confident guy who dosnt really get girls. "Stevie was starting out the windowand focusing on metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks." "Stevie legs were trembling like always while he walked through the big crowd onto the stage.That represents shyness
@Iharris5 great work girl!!!
You to @DSmith4
I am reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and I am on page 140. The main character in my book is Hazel Grace Lancaster; a teenage girl suffering from Thyroid cancer. She is very strong, and has a lot of courage while fighting an awful disease. She always stays positive, especially in times of need. She repeatedly goes to the hospital and tries her best to look on the bright side.

I just finished my book Football Genius by Tim Green. Tim Green uses speech to describe Troy. In the book it says,"Was my father a crybaby too? he asked" This shows that Troy is a crybaby just like what he says in the book. Whenever somebody talked about Troys dad he started tearing up.

The book I am reading is "Scat" by Carl Hiaasen I am currently on page 116. One of the main characters in this book would be Ms.Starch. Ms.Starch is a very strict, responsible, and controlling teacher. She is always on top of things. In the book it talks about how she had almost never missed a day of teaching except when one day she had "accidentally rolled her car while swerving to avoid a rabbit on the way to school" but even then she still called in sick! I believe that shows she is very dedicated to her teaching job.
@rabram2 great job!
@Cmcknight4 it sounds like a good book!

In my book "Steel heart" by Brandon Sanderson,that I have now just finished, David is the main character. The author characterizes David as persistent, and determined. "I have seen steel heart bleed. And i WILL see him bleed again." Davids father was murdered, and David has dedicated his life to getting revenge. David is described through his actions more than his words, but he is mostly determined and persistent.
@accook
You forgot your period, and your grammar is way off. Next time try a little harder.
@rabram2
