I finished The Titans Curse by Rick Riordan. I will be comparing this to the battle of the labyrinth by Rick Riordan. A comparison is that they both have the character Tyson who builds Percy OR rebuilds Percy a shield. Another compare is that they both messed up a part of a school in one day. A contrast is that Grover did not have a girlfriend in the titans curse. The last contrast is that the Titans curse starts on the last day of school. But the battle of the labyrinth starts already in the summer before school starts.
I have finished the dead boys by Royce Buckingham. I am comparing this to Bad girls don't die by Katie Alender. A comparison is that they both have a creepy mystery mood. Another comparison is they both just moved to a new home. A contrast is in the dead boys the main character is a boy. in Bad girls don't die the main character is a girl. Another contrast is in the dead boys there is no romance, and in Bad girls don't die there a small romance.
I am currently reading Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli and I am on page 25. I am comparing this book to Eggs by Jerry Spinlli because they are both realistic fiction books. Also they are written by the same author. The books are different because the main characters are the same age in Smiles to Go, but in Eggs they are not. Another difference is that in Eggs there are two main characters, but in Smiles to Go there are three.
asizer3, Good job!
@asizer3
Wow your book sounds pretty interesting. I can really see how your character traits really are.
amoskalenko5, nice blog!
I am currently reading the last Apprentice Revenge of the witch and on page 39. The last book I read was the giver. A comparison in both books is that they have fake events in them. They both have different genres though. One is sci-fy the other fantasy. Another comparison found in the books is both books have a main character which are young and have mentors. In the giver it was Jonas and the giver, in revenge of the witch it is tom and the spook. But both are used for different purposes.
amoskalenko5 great job on the blog.
asizer3 nice blog
I am currently reading Fallen by Lauren Kate I'm on page 29. Arriane and Luce are the two characters that start out. Arriane shows that she is fearless and trys to convince Luce to be the same. Luce was fearless as well...After Arriane kind of said '"Scarred?' Arriane finished. 'You can say it.'" So Luce responded and said "'No', Luce said though she wished Arriane would take her hand away so Luce could take hers away,too." So even though Luce trys to prove she isn't afriad of Arriane she says no. So in a way they are both similar because you can always grow out of your fear.Id
Asizer3 Good Job

Good job on the blog
The book i am currently reading is almost home, by Joan Bauer, and i am on og. 12. So the differnce between this book and the previous book i was reading is this is book is all sweet and loving, and the previous book i had was all evil and violent. Another differnece is the main character name is suger, and in my last book the character name was war. This girl is about heartfelt poems, and war was about evilness and killing and other evil stuff. There not similar in any kind of way, only that it has people in it, besides that, theres no similarities between the two.
@rcortes5 nice blog
@jsmith4, nice blog
I'm reading the Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare and on page 475 the genre is fantasy fiction. The book I'm comparing is called The Rule of Three by Eric Walters and realistic fiction. Two things that are the same is that both main characters are trying to save their home town or house from harm and preventing others from taking things or supplies from the main character. Another similarity is that both main characters want to gain valuable allies or foreign support that can help them battle people who want to kill them. One difference is that the Clockwork Angel uses magic and other sorts of witchcraft while The Rule of Three is a realistic fiction for its present time and no use of magic or supernatural occurrences. The Clockwork Angel only mentions the title like three times while The Rule of Three only mentions the title once. Books should mention the title and explain what it means.
DNova: Good comparison but you didn't include what period you are from.
rcortes5: Exellent comparison and the giver is a good book or should I say novel.
The book I am reading is called Hideout by Gordon Korman, and i am on page 36. The last book I read was Showoff by Gordon Korman. Showoff and Hideout are similar because they are written by the same author. If you're reading a book by the same author as the last book you read it is, obviously, going to be the same style of writing. The books are different because they are about different topics.
I am currently reading 'The Paladin Prophecy' by:Mark Frost. I am on page 157. I will be comparing this book to ' i Even Funnier' by : James Patterson. The Paladin Prophecy takes place in a small town, so does I Even Funnier. Another comparison is the characters. Although they can be different they are both funny. One contrast i have is one is disabled and the other if not. (don't get mad I'm not acting sexist/racist). SPOILER ALERT!!!! Another contrast is in The Paladin Prophecy the main character 'Will' is being chased down by people, whereas 'Jamie' of 'I Even Funnier' is just a comedian and HE is the one chasing the prize of funniest kid comic in the world.
@amoskalenko5
nice blog I've already read the books.
@asizer3
Great blog.
The book I am reading is “The Heartbreak Messenger” by Alexander Vance, I am currently on page 74. The book I will be comparing that one to is “The Postcard” by Tony Abbott. One thing that is almost the same in the books is both of the main characters; they are both confused teenage boys. Another thing that makes these two books the same is Marcus, and Jason both were horrible with girls. They had no experience with girls so they didn’t really know what to do when they got around one. Something that makes these two books different is the girls in the books. Marcus’s girl in the book was his best friend; the girl in Jason’s book was a complete stranger. Another thing that makes these books different is Jason’s dad fell off a ladder while he was drunk and gave himself a concussion. Marcus doesn’t know his dad, all he knows is his name.
Dgreek5 good job.
amoskalenko5 nice blog.
I'm reading Werelord Rage of the Lion by Curtis Jobling Nd I'm on page 150. I'll be comparing it to the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rolling. In the Werelord book it's about the struggle of earning back the throne for the wolf while Harry Potter is about the struggle to get through the fifth year at Hogwarts. In Harry Potter everyone is divided by their blood line while in Werelord they are divided by rank. Though they both have elements of the unknown.
I am reading the last apprentice Curse of the Bane by Joseph Delany and I am on page 199. The last book I read was the first book in the series, The last Apprentice Revenge of the Witch, and while there are some similarities like the characters, and the time period, because they are only about six months away from eachother, there is also many differences. One difference is the amount of time you see the Spook. In the first one he is with him basically throughout the whole book, but in this one he is very ill, and right now, he is captured. Another difference is the main vilian. In the first book the villian is a witch but now it is a spirit that haunts the catacombs under the town.
@kberry2 Great blog!
@rcortes5 Yay, your reading my recomendation!
I am reading Lost And Found by Anne Schraff and I am on page 8 and the last book I read was Summer of Secrets.The comparisons are they are both in a series,they both have the same setting,they both have the same people in the book named Darcy etc.The contrast is in the book Summer of Secrets her grandmother had died in the book Lost And Found her grandmother was alive,and in Summer Of Secrets her dad was still gone out of her life and Summer Of Secrets her dad had came back in her life.
kberry2 very good blog
jitter2 that suds like a very great book
*sounds*
I am reading the book of "Searching for Safety" By John Langan.And I am on page 14.The book i am comparing with this one is "Summer of Secrets" by Paul Langan.And I also realized that both of these authors are realated some how and they both help write the Bluford series.Thats kinda Cool.
cbascom6 good blog
kberry2 I think you did a good job but you need more punctuations
I am currently reading 13 Hangmen, I'm on page 40, the author is Amy Ignatow (Art Corriveau)
my last book was the Twinkie squad.
They have some similar things,
like they both have young kids, (under 13 years old) they are always
stressed with life and they are always mad.
A big difference is the genre book , the book Im currently reading
is mystery and the last one was realistic fiction and other difference is the author. ByE!!.
@tullah3 great!!
@dekeaton cool!
@jsmith4
Great post!!
@asizer3
Good job!
I am currently reading The Fault in Our Stars and am on page 160. I am comparing this book it Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Both books are about people fighting one fights cancer and one fights the President. Both books have some romance. In contrast The Fault in Our Stars doesn't have any guns or weapons but in Mockingjay there are a lot of weapons. Another contrast is that in Mockingjay there is no cancer and there is cancer in The Fault in Our Stars.
The book that I'm reading is My Bird among the Stars and I'm on page 65(sorry, this book is losing my interest). From this book and The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader by Ryder Windham, both have a conflict inside themselves and the outside world. But, Darth Vader is good to bad to good. While May is good throughout the boook. Darth Vader and May are human far away from their home. But Darth Vader doesn't quite miss it and wants to stay away from his home. While May is trying with all of her will power to get back home.
To amoskalenko,
This is good! Don't change anything!!
To jsmith,
Awesomeness!
The book i am currently reading is the alienist, the book i read prior to this was HALO THE FLOOD. one contrast i have found between the two books is that one is a realistic fiction novel and the other is a science fiction book. another one i have made is that the alienist contains real historical figures as characters in the book whereas HALO only mentions a few, and they don't really play a role in the book. however they do have a few similarities such as the time these books are set in, which both are very far away from the present(1919 & 2552). another commonality these books both share is that both of the main characters have very distinct specialities, the main character in the alienist is, well, an alienist, and in Halo the main character is a specially trained super soldier.
I am reading Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver and I am on page 30. The las book I read was Starters by Lissa Price. These books are alike because because they both are about something supernatural that happened and they both have a little bit of romance. But in both books there is not a whole lot of it. These books are different because in Starters the whole book is pretty much supernatural but in Before I Fall there are only parts that are. They are also different because in Before I Fall, the girl has a home and a great life until the accident but in Starters the girl is living on the streets and fighting for almost everything.
DNova: sounds good!
Asizer3: good job!
I am reading "Matilda" by Roald Dahl and I am on page 27. I am comparing this to "Charlie and the Chocolate factory" by Roald Dahl that I read for the first 9 week. A comparison is that Charlie and Matilda are both students. Another comparison is that their parents doesn't buy what they want. Charlie wanted things any thing like a normal kid.Matilda wanted books.Also the book author is the same.The contrast of this book and the book I finished the main characters have different reasons that their parents doesn't buy what they want. Charlie's parents are poor so they couldn't buy what Charlie wanted. Matilda's parents thinks that she is weird so they don't buy books.Another contrast is that Charlie's parents were poor but they loved him ,but Matilda's parents have money and they could buy books for her .They don't love her.
@amoskalenko5 Good blog.
@asizer3 Great job.
I am currently reading “Rules for Secret Keeping” by Lauren Barnholdt and I am on page 96. The book that I will be comparing is called “How my Journal became the Best Seller” by Julia Devillers. One thing that is the same those books is that they are both realistic fiction. The books are about events that could happen in real life. Another comparison is that they both have jobs. First of all, Samantha has a job at school which is passing along other people’s secrets. People give their secrets anonymously and Samantha passes them. And Jamie’s job is an author. Some contrasts are the way they deal with the mean girls. Jamie did not overcome with them, but Samantha became friends with the means girls. Another thing is that everyone knows Jamie because she is a famous author, but Samantha is not as famous as Jamie.
@dgreek5 Good blog! I like the contrasts that you wrote.
@ kmoore3 Your book is interesting. Good job!
One comparison with Tim Green and Eliot Schrefer is that they both write books and other is that they are both wrote abiut their childhood. Two things that are different about them is that Eliot Shrefer wrote a sunshine state book Tim didn't. Another thing is that Tim writes about baseball, Eliot writes more about nature. The book I am reading is Endangered by Eliot Shrefer the page I am on is page 3.
rcortes5 good job keep up the good work.
jkim4 good job, very discriptive. Keep up the great job.
The book I am currently reading is Cress by Marissa Meyer and I am on page 215.The
last book I read was Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. One comparison between the two books
is that they both have some romance going on.The second comparison that the two
books have is between the two main characters. Scarlet and Cress both fall in
love with these convicts. However, two contrasts are that Scarlet is a normal
human being and Cress is a Lunar. Another contrast is the fact that Cinder one of
the other main characters in Scarlet has the Lunar gift but Cress does not she is
a shell.

@amoskalenko5
My stepsister really enjoyed that series
I'm currently reading John Grisham by Calico Joe, and I'm currently on page 10,and the last book that I read and finished was The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. One comparison between the two books is, that they but have some drama going on in both of them. Another comparison is that they are both fiction. One contrast between the two book is, that the main characters in the books are different, one is an Indian kid, and the other is an American baseball player. Another contrast is that they have different themes, one takes place in a baseball field in New York, and the other takes place in a small village called the Rez.
@cmcknight4: I like that book:)
@jsmith4:Nice blog!!!
My last book was "Legend" by Marie Lu, and I just finished my current book "The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, Eighth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer. One of the comparison is that both is not very welcomed or liked by the majority. Another comparison is that they have simillar appearances like black hair and pale skin. A contrast between the two is that one is a vampire and another is a criminal. Another contrast is that one book is Sci-Fi and the other Fantasy, one containing vampires the other contain futuristic technology.
amoskalenko5 Nice response! Dgreek5 Great Job! The response has a lot of detail.
amoskalenko5 Nice response! Dgreek5 Great Job! The response has a lot of detail.
That's an amazing book
I read the giver last year great choice
The book I was reading was Loving the Bad Boy by Lisa Demes, and I completed it. The book I read before that was Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. Two similarities of these books is that they both have romance in them, and they are both a bit mysterious. The reader is held in suspince in both books. Two differences with the books are that Pretty Little Liars is more intence and detailed. Loving the Bad Boy is based around more romance and has action.
@cmcnight4 great blog!!!
@jsmith4 nice job!!!
I am currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner and I am on page 336, I will be comparing and contrasting this book with The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. One of the few similarities between my two books is that they both have unrealistic elements. The Name of the Wind has made up creatures like dragons and demons, and The Maze Runner has made up creators known as Grievers, that are giant furry slugs that are also part machine. Another similarity is that they both are set in a different time and place than modern day Earth. The Name of the Wind is set in and unknown world that is very different from Earth, and The Maze Runner is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where teen boys are put into a giant maze with monsters to survive. One of the differences between the two books is that The Name of the Wind is told in first-person, where the main character is telling the story from his own perspective, but The Maze Runner is in third-person, where the narrator is telling the story as if he was just another person with the main character. Another difference is that The Name of the Wind is a man telling a story about his past, but The Maze Runner is about survival in a post-apocalyptic setting where nobody can even remember their past.
amountain4: Nice job with your blog.
crukstalis6: It's unfortunate that your loosing interest in you book, but your blog was great.
Blog #7) I am currently reading Variant by Robinson Wells and I am on page 373, and I will be comparing and contrasting this with the last book I read (Endangered). One thing both books have in common is the main characters are both stuck in a certain situation and have a hard time getting out. Another thing is they both have to choose sides to survive. Now thing that they don’t have in common is in Variant the main character is a boy and in Endangered the main character is a girl. Plus Variant is futuristic and Endangered in set in modern times.
Currently I am reading the book, ‘Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment’ by James Patterson and I am on page 159. Over the weekend I finished ‘The Red Pyramid’ by Rick Riordan. Two comparisons in the books would be the element of fantasy because in ‘Maximum Ride’ Max and her flock are avian people, and Carter and Katie can make floating hieroglyphics appear in the air, also all of different creatures in the books. But two contrasts of the two books are that there isn’t magic in ‘Maximum Ride’ yet there is in ‘The Red Pyramid’, also another difference is that in ‘Maximum Ride’ they are the results of genetic experiments and Carter and Sadie are two normal children, who just happen to be great great great, well a lot of greats, grand children on the pharaohs of Egypt.
@amoskalenko5 - good blog!
@KBaxter6 - amazing job!
I currently reading The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint and I am on 152. I will be comparing this book to my last book, Haunted by Kirsten and P.C. Cast. One comparison is that they are both Fantasies that involve mythical creatures, and they both take place in modern day.However, Haunted was mostly involved with Vampyres and demons and The Blue Girl is about this girl who meets a Boy who's a ghost and he has angels who are trying to get him to move on, but he doesn't want to because he loves the girl. Both fantasies involve romance though. In Haunted, Zoey and Starke falls in love and in The Blue Girl, Adrian falls in love with Imogene. Another comparison is that both books have several different point of views. As you can see, Haunted and The Blue Girl are both very similar and have a lot in common.
@Kmoore3: You need to capitalize the title of your books.
@Jsongayab4: Nice blog!
I am currently reading qb by mike LUPICA and I was reading the UNDER DOGS BY MIKE LUPICA. The current page number I'm on my book is 10.Two contrast are they both are about football and they both are about guys that are doing the best they can on football. Two differences are they are two different books with different characters. And they are both really great books!

Nice book z winkle ! And I like that book zxaxcter!
For my book that I am reading is “Book of the Dead: The Mummy: a Tale of Terror for the 21st Century” by Larry Mike Garmon and I am on page 3. The book I will be comparing and contrasting it to is “Lost in the river of grass” by Ginny Rorby. Two things that are different about each other is that is book has three main characters and this book I believe is a mystery book. Two things that are similar is that both books have a boy and a girl as a main character and also I believe this book has so romance because on the back cover it says “the mummy has come back to find his long lost love.” So those are my compare and contrast ideas on lost in the river of grass and Book of the Dead: The Mummy: a Tale of Terror for the 21st Century.
rcortes5: nice blog
asizer3: cool
The book I am reading is called Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. I am on page 10. The book I have recently finished was Blood and Bone by Don Hoesel. Both of these books have a boy for the main character and are action books,but they do not have the same characters or the same story. They have traits that make them a like but not the same.In Blood in bone it was about solving a mystery but in Touching Spirit Bear it's more of a lesson. Touching Spirit Bear is about a boy who was a bully but now is paying the price instead of going to jail he was sent to an island. Whith nothing but his surroundings.Blood and bones was nothing like this. They both are different but a like.
one of the things that were the same with the two books were that the two main characters was that they both had a goal to achieve. The second comparison was that they both are going through obstacles throughout the book. The two differences were the goals involved two different things one involving to stop being fragile. The other on was to help his dad get out the war faster. And the other difference was that the problem was effective in different ways like one is that if he doesn't succeed it will make a bigger risk of never seeing his dad again. And the other on if he doesn't succeed he wont have any respect. The two books are DUKE by Kirby Larson, and the other book is called Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis and im currently on page 42
@amoskalenko5 good job

The book I am currently reading is “My Fair Godmother” by Janette Rallison. I am currently on page 127 of 309. The book I was reading was “Between the Lines” by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. Both of these books are fantasy. “My Fair Godmother” has fairy and so does “Between the Lines”. One thing that “My Fair godmother” that Between the Lines doesn’t is time travel. One thing that “Between the Lines” has is that “My Fair Godmother” doesn’t have is the main character in “Between the Lines” is very shy where in “My Fair Godmother’s” main character is very outgoing.

I am reading Bartimaeus by Jonathan Stroud. I will be comparing this to Ghost Hawk by Suzanne Cooper. A comparison is they both have a valuable thing that posses power. A contrast is that one is a fantasy and the other realistic fiction.
I am currently reading Prisoner B-3087 I’m on page 6 and it is writing by Alan Gratz. I will be comparing it with Holes by Louis Sachar. The first comparison is that both the main characters are kids who are put into extreme and dangerous conditions. The second is that they both go to a Camp Green Lake and the kid goes to a concentration camp. The contrast is that Holes is a realistic fiction book and Prisoner B-3087 is a biography. The other contrast is that the setting for Holes is in the desert in Texas and Prisoner B-3087 is in WWII in Germany.
good blog rabram2
nice job bwilson2
misread instructions. Another comparison is both have very exiting story lines. Another contrast is in my current book there is a necklace, in my previous book there was a tomahawk.
good blog ncrawford
I am reading Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz and I am on page 23. I am comparing this book to SliverFin. The two comparisons I am doing are, one: that Alex and James both live in Europe, and two: Alex and James are both in deadly situations multiple times. The two things that I am contrasting are, one: Right now, Stormbreaker is realistic fiction and SliverFin was a myster. The second one is: Alex is 14 and James is a few years older.
Good blog jsmith4. :)
Cool rcortes5.
I'm reading Taken by Edward Bloor and I'm on page 29 and I'm comparing my book to Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli. One difference of the two is that Taken takes place in a future setting, whereas Smiles to Go takes place in modern time. Both stories have a first-person form of writing, writing the story from the main characters point of view. Both stories can also be classified as realistic fiction genre. Lastly Taken follows a character used to more wealth and technology, whereas Smiles to Go follows an everyday teen with what is most likely considered your normal family.
@jsmith4 I read Smiles to Go also, I hope you like the rest of the book as much as I did!
Great Job @ncrawford6
Nice blog @bwilson2
@rcortes5 both of those books sound great! and good blog!

I am currently reading "The scorch trails" By James Dasher im on page 15. The book im comparing Scorch trails to is Strom Breaker. I think the to novels have a similar background in the sense of action and story. The scorch trails storyline has better story telling then Storm breaker. Storm breaker has gaps in the whole entire novel. On the other hand scorch trails does not it picks up right where maze runner left off so far it a great book.
@amoskalenko5
Great job on the blog.

Good job on the blog.
I am currently reading the Raft by S.A. Bodeen and i am finished with the book. I am comparing the Raft and On the Island by Traci Garvis- Graves. Both of the book the main character is stranded on an island and encounters many difficult obstacles. One difference between the book is the the main character in On the Island encounters violent tropical weather but the main character in The Raft does not. Both main characters are the same age as each other.
amoskalenko5 nice job
asizer3 good job comparing and contrasting the two books.
I'm reading Cover up. By John Feinstein. I'm on page 20 . My old book was t he last shot by the Same author. They both are in the Same genre and they both have the Same students that were investigating the final four, now they're are investigating the super bowl. The last shot has to do with basketball. The cover up has to do with football.

The book I am currently reading is Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass and l'm on page 243. I will be comparing this book to The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp. They are both alike because the plot is about an ordinary boy who have an exciting adventure searching for something. The only thing that is different is that Alfred's life is in danger because people are trying to kill him and if Jeremy doesn't find the key to open a box, he won't die. Also, the books are different because Alfred goes around the world in search Excalibur-the legendary sword of King Arthur. Jeremy only looks for the key in his city and does not go around the world looking for the key. Overall, both of these books are amazing and have lots in common.
JSmith cool blog
AMoskalenko5 amazing blog
I am currently reading Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. I finished the book the running dream by Wendelin Van Draanen. A comparison is that both books main characters are kids. Another comparison is that both books are realistic fiction. A contrast is that in one book the parents don't really listen and in the other the parents are very caring and understanding. Another contrast is that in the book I finished the main character was always making friends, and in the book I'm reading the main character wants a few people to stop trying to be his friend.
@cmckinght4 good job!
@asizer3 sounds like a great book.
I am reading "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin and I am on page 21. I am comparing this book to "The Ghost in the Machine; Ryan's Journal" by Patrick Carmen. In both books there is a mystery trying to be solved. Also, The main character is a bit shy and they keep to themselves. In contrast, the main character was a boy in "The Ghost in the Machine; Ryan's Journal" and in "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" it is a girl. This may seem like a small change but I feel as if because of the difference in gender the characters think different. Another difference is, while in both books the main characters and their friends were in near death situations Ryan and his friends lived, while Mara's friends all died.
I am reading "Across the sun" by Albert Likhanovand I am on page 34. The last book i read was "Cover-Up". "Across the sun" is different than "Cover-Up" because "Across the sun" is a sad book and "Cover-Up" is a couragous book. Also "Cover-Up" is more exciting than "Across the sun" because "Cover-Up" is like an adventurous book and "Across the sun" is a sad book. They are both similar because there both realistic and they both can be interesting at times and sometimes they can be boring.
ecarter4 That sounds like a really good book!!
I am currently reading gone from theses woods by Donny bailey seagraves. I will be comparing it to 39 clues by margret peterson hadrix.they both have a young kid as the protaganist in it. They both have some kind of death in the family. The protaganists have to overcome a emotional problem.
Good job at answering the blog skunklersulaica3. I like mystery books.

Wonderful job at answering the blog hmoorer3. I love 39 Clues. I love when teens or kids are the protaganist becuase they make every book more fun to read.
I am currently reading Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card and I am on page 15. The book that I will be comparing is Ender's Shadow also by Orson Scott Card. Ender is a bit different from his last character because his last character was more brave, and he is a little more scared now of aliens even though he won the war against them. Bean is more thicker and stronger in this book than the last book, in the last book Bean was skinny and weak. in Ender's Shadow the theme of the book was like a battle ship/earth setting and now its just an earth setting so pretty similar. Achilles (the main bully) ended up to continue to live through to Shadow of the Hegemon with not many battle scars and continues to bully small children.
@amoskalenko5 sounds pretty similar good job.
@asizer3 good blog keep up the amazing work but remember the capitalization in the book title.
I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and I am on page 16. The book I will be comparing is Catching Fire also by Suzanne Collins. One comparison is that in both books Katniss and Gale still have feelings for one another. Another comparison is that the other Districts are planning a rebellion against the Capital. In contrast in Catching Fire Katniss destroys the Hunger Games arena, in Mockingjay the arena is still destroyed. Another contrast is that in Catching Fire, District 12 is a peaceful town with lots of people, in Mockingjay District 12 has been bombed and now it’s nothing but a memory, filled with ashes, skulls, and demolished homes and buildings. Mockingjay is a fantastic book so far and I can’t wait to read more of it.

Sounds interesting!

Sounds Mysterious.
The book I am reading is called Doll Bones by Holly Black and I was reading Nightmarys by Dan Poblocki. I am currently on page 22. One comparison to these two books are that they are both trying to be creepy and scary. Another comparison is that they both have main characters that are both in middle school and get picked on. A contrast is that in Doll Bones there are 4 main characters and they all play with dolls. A last contrast is that in Nightmarys there were only two main characters. They also are friends at the beginning of the story and they obviously did not play with dolls.
dgriswold5 good job on your blog very descriptive.
The book I'm reading is the Grimm conclusion and the author is Adam gidwitz and I am on page 29.The differences between my book I'm reading now and from the one I was reading before. in the one I'm reading now is a story that has many little scary stories in their that leads up to the main parts of my book. And my other book that is called Lockwood.and co and they are investigators for the supernatural and look for ghosts and other things such as sprits which goes haunting people houses and around their city in London.And the things that make my books the same is that they are both fantasy books and they both describe what monsters or demons or anything that supernatural that they can see. And they have a girl and a boy as the main character's in the stories instead of a girl and a girl or boy and a boy.
great job jsmith4 i really like how you worlded.
@bmcbride5
has good details on how your book is going so far.
@dkeaton4
good details on book.
I'm currently reading Picture the Dead by Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown and I'm on page 29. The difference between this book and the last book I read 'All the Lovely Bad Ones' is the type of ghosts the books are talking about. In All the Lovely Bad Ones the ghosts were little kids who love pranks, died because they were left out in the freezing cold, and were orphans I believe. But in Picture the Dead the ghosts they are talking about are ghosts that died in the U.S. Military.named Will and Toby, Will happened to be married to Jamie and the other was her brother, and they aren't really haunting anyone. The comparison of these books are that these are mystery/paranormal books and they can feel the ghosts. In All the Lovely Bad Ones Corey and Travis were able to speak and help the ghosts rest while in Picture the Dead Jamie can feel her brother's presence and hear his whispers.
@dkeaton4 nice details
@zgraham24 great job explaining the differences and comparisons
I'm reading I, Emma Freke by Elizabeth Atkimson and i am on page12. The Difference between this and my last book " The Lions of Little Rock" is that book takes places during segregation. Another difference is that the other character has more friends. A similarity between this book and this this one is that the main characters are both girls. Another similarity is that they both don't fit in socially.
dmsmith4 great job!
iharris5 good job1
I am reading game changers by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 5. In the book the main character in my book is an athlete, and so is Scott from my previous book “2 minute drill”. They both at one time used to play football. A difference between them 2 is that they play different sports. Ben in “Game Changers” is a basketball players, and Scott from “2 minute drill” is a football player. Another difference is that when ben played football, he was really good at it, and when Scott played, he was bad.
@jsmith4, Good blog.
@asizer3, sounds like a good book!
I am reading Theodore Boone: the accused and I am on page 10. The book I am using to compare and contrast is called Theodore Boone: the abduction. Two things that are alike about this book is that it both has that mystery/suspicion type of mood. They are different cases in the series but they both are linked in some type of way. Another comparison is how the author writes. Sometimes it seems like déjà vu when I am reading the stories because it’s so similar in writing technique. Two contrasts are that one of the books is about an abduction and one is about a murder case. Although in both cases there was a trial in the abduction there were more than one case in the whole story. Also although it has the same main character and protagonist, the antagonist changes depending on the topic.
@dmsmith4 great job.
@zgraham2keep up the good work!
I am currently reading nerds by Michael Buckley and I am on page 4. the difference between this book and my last book is that this book is about "Alexander Brand the secret agent" and my last book was about "Nick the most shortest kid in the world" getting bullied. Nick gets bullied by Ron in my last story and Alexander is a secret agent. Both of the stories have a team because nick is a team with the safety patrol and the Nerds are a team. "nerds" and "The Odd Squad" can relate and be different.
@tbanks3 great job !
@jglover2 nice blog!
I am currently reading Football Hero by Tim Green. I am comparing this book to Football Genius. One thing that is the same in both books is they are both by the same author (Tim Green). Another thing that is the same is they are both about football. One difference is the main characters aren't the same people. Another difference is this main character can't predict the plays before they happen.
jsmith4 Nice Blog:)
emasio6 I want to read that book
I am currently reading report to the principles office by jerry spenelli, But I recently finished Blood is Thicker by paul langan. The comparison that i have is the settings because their very differnt one is is denver with gqngs and club the other is nice quiet neighbor hood. I k now you can tell by the titles which ones which. And the other is the types of charcters in report to the principles office the characters are nice and calm. In bloof=d is thicker the characters are tressed out and angry.
@jmiller3 Great blog!
@iglover2 Its ok but needs a little work.
Both my books are written by the same author so there's plenty of comparisons. I am currently reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 36. The book I read before Hoot was Scat; also by Carl Hiaasen. Hiaasen has a particular pattern in his writing. His books all have different children who look to protect different animal species. There isn't really much to contrast.
@hmaestre3 Great blog! :)
@asizer3 Good blog!
I am currently reading Cinder by Merissa Meyer and I am on page 226. The main character in both of my books are different in their own special way. And they have friends they can count on. A difference would be one is a cyborg and the other is human. Another difference would be the cyborg is based off of fairy tales and the other is based off of paranormal story.
I am currently reading The Fault in our Stars by John Green, and im on page 56.My last book was lions of little rock by Kristin Levine. these books were totally diffrent but had many similarties.The Fault In Our Stars is a love story between the two main charecter,where love is also happening between the two charecters in lions of little rock. Except, in the lions of little rock its frirendship instead of boyfriend and girlfriend. but one vey big diffrence in lions of little rock is how people hated liz once they found out she was passing as a "negro".So the if i had to say the biggest diffrenceand similarities in The Fault in Our Stars and The Lions Of Little Rockis love and hate.
nice job njlewis4. very great detail
nice job jmiller3. you did a great job on the blog!!!
i finished Don't Look Behind You by Louis Duncan. I'm comparing this book to Circus Galacticus by Deva Fagan. In comparison, the main characters are girls, and they both have something strange happen to them that changes their lives. In contrast, Circus Galacticus is about Beatrix Ling going to the circus to find answers and in Don't Look Behind You is about April hiding with her family from a hitman.
The book i am currently reading is called Download Drama by Celeste O. Norfleet, I am on page 210. I will be comparing Download Drama to Silhouetted by the blue. Download Drama and Silhouetted by the blue both have Drama in it. In Download Drama and Silhouetted by the blue both of the girls mom died. Download Drama is Different from Silhouetted by the blue because Download drama has dancing in it and Silhouetted by the blue has singing in it. Silhouetted by the blue is different from Download Drama because the girl Serena Shaw has to take care of her baby brother, while the girl Kenisha Lewis in Download drama doesn't.
@Amoskalenko5
Great job on your blog.!
@Jsmith4
Those books sound interesting.!
I'm reading the series of unfortunate events, the author of my book is Lemony Snicket and I am on page 31. one thing that is similar to the book I am currently reading and the one I was reading is that they are both poor. something different about them is that they are both scared and horrible things are happening to them Catniss entered the hunger games believing she was going to die. And in the series of unfortunates their parents died in a terrible fire and their house burned down with it.

I am currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I am on page 20. Between this book and the last book I read which is One for the Murphy’s, there are many similarities and differences. The similarities are that in both of the books the main character had to get used to something new… a new home. Another similarity is that both of the books the main character is young. One difference is that The Maze Runner is full of action while One for the Murphy’s isn’t. Another difference is that in Maze Runner the main character is a boy, but in One for the Murphy’s the main character is girl.
Dgreek5 great job!!
hdoan05 good job… very descriptive.
Im reading gathering blue by Louis Lowry and im on page 7. The book i will be comparing to the one im reading is The raft by S.A Bodeen. Some similarities robin ( the main character from my previous book) and kira ( the main character from the book I'm reading now) have are they're clever. Robin had to learn to survive at sea while kira has the ability to thread like any other person. Also both of them are far away from their mothers. The difference from robin and kira are that kira has a twisted leg. Another difference is that kira works every day and robin doesn't.
Bmcphadden5 nice work on your blog. Keep it up !
hdoan05 your blog is descriptive. Just keep doing what you do!
I am reading Spirit Animals: Wild Born by Brandon Mull and I’m on page 20. And a month ago was reading The Begging King and The Secret of Happiness. The two books are different because The Begging King is an autobiography and Spirit Animals is Fantasy. Also the Te Begging King doesn't have animal coming out of your chest and the Spirit Animal does. They both have a little side story like the The Begging King as mini fork lord in then and Spirit Animal also have to do with fore lord.
@asizer3 Good job
@amoskalenko5 nice blog
I am currently reading the lord of the flies by william g.and im on page 61. i will be comparing this to Varjak paw by SF Said. One comparison is the bizzare elements,in varjak paw animals can talk,in LOTF metaphorically so can the trees. Another is the perspective, they are both 3rd person limited. A difference in them is their authors, they are from opposite sides of the earth. The last difference is the environment, Varjak paw is in a metropolitan area while LOTF is on an uncharted island.

drivera6... inspirational... nice.
Lpozos5... i like it great job.
The book that I am currently is Insurgent by veronica Roth I am currently on page 125.the book I am comparing and contrasting with is harry potter and the sorcerer’s stone. Both books are full of action. But one book has magic in it and the other has real life situation. Both books are full of exciting things. But one book it takes a long time to get to the good part.
lopozos that a good book
The book i am currently reading is "The screaming stair case" im currently on page 24.The author of the book is jonathan stroud.It is about a sinister problem that occured in london,and different nature of ghosts.The last book i red was "the prisoner of cell 25' by micheal vey.The similarities of both books are they were both fantasy fiction.And the difference was there was only one paranormal character while the screaming staircase had plenty.
qdjames4.I like what im hearing about that book. i'll consider reading it some day.
lpozos5. I read that book in 7th grade.its very complicated and interesting.
I’m currently reading a book called Cirque Du Freak (A Living Nightmare it is by Darren Shan, and I’m on page 55. The last book I had read was Maximum Ride book three by James Patterson. One comparison between the two books are they both are Fantasy. Cirque Du Freak talks about myths such as vampires and other creatures such as the wolf man. While, Maximum Ride talks about a cross mutation between humans and birds giving ordinary kids the ability to fly with wings. Another comparison is they both follow more than one character. Such as in Maximum Ride the story follows a group of 6 kids Max, Iggy, Angle, Fang, Nudge, and Gazzy. In Cirque Du Freak it follows two boys Darren and Steve. A contrast I found between the two books are they both have very different topics. Maximum Ride is about a group of genetically modified humans/bird people who are trying to escape capture. While, Cirque Du Freak is about a boy named Darren who becomes a vampire’s assistant and has to go through a lot of changes. Another contrast I found was that Cirque Du Freak follows two character and Maximum Ride follows six character.
The book that I am currently reading is "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, I am on page 68. The book I have finished reading is "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, and I finished the book. The main comparison is that these books both revolve around some sort of creature, and a main story that is a quest. For instance, Bilbo sets out on an adventure in The Hobbit. Dr. Frankenstein sets out to find the monster he created that killed his family. The differences revolve around the what type of book it is. For instance, The Hobbit is a sci-fi book, and Frankenstein is a sci-fi as well, but The Hobbit is much more revolved around mythical creatures and adventures, while as Frankenstein mainly revolves around drama. Another thing is that Frankenstein has more dialogue than adventure, The Hobbit has more adventure than dialogue.
@asizer3 Good job
@jsmith4 Sounds like a good book.
good job @asizer3
great example sounds like a good book @rcortes5
I am reading "A Day in the Life" by Manley Frost(will be referred to as book #1), I am on page 42. I am comparing this book to my other book "House of Dark Shadows" by Robert Liparulo(will be referred to as book #2). In book #1 there is a conflict, and a plot, but in book #2 there is nothing because this book is a bibliography. Manley Frost(book#1) explains his life in Iraq, while Xavier(book#2) tells his story about a haunted house. Overall the stories are very different, but they are both interesting, and well written.

@omerced-oneill5 TERRIFIC!
@asizer3 Good Job!

The book i am reading is perfect season by Tim green. The last book i read was the bully by Paul Langan. The way their alike because both main characters moved from their home town to a different city. Another way their alike because both main characters were poor and didn't have their dads around. the way they were different was because perfect season main character is athletic and the bully main character isn't. The other way their different because the bully lost main character was born poor the perfect season main character mom lost all their money in court.
asizer3 great job ive read that book before.
amoskalenko5 great job
I am currently reading the book "Slated" by Teri Terry, and I am on page 27. I am comparing this book to "Dreamsleeves" by Coleen Murtagh Paratore. One comparison is that both main characters deal with tough situations all on their own. The main character in both stories are both young teenagers with lots of responsibilities. Another comparison is that in both books, they aren't easily trusted by people. They have to earn it from them. One contrast is that this book is intense and really suspenseful. The last book is just interesting and different. Another is that 'Slated' takes place in a very scary future. 'Dreamsleeves' takes place in the 60's.
@dkeaton4 ; Great response!
@kyesbik6 ; Both seem like interesting books.
I am reading Assassin's Creed: Black Flag by Oliver Bowden. I am on page 225. I am Comparing this to Assassin's Creed: Renaissance by Oliver Bowden. They both have an assassin involved. Also they have some type of Templar or king involved. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag has a famous pirate involved in it. Assassin's Creed: Renaissance has a famous painter involved.
