1 – 200 of 218 Newer› Newest»I am currently on page 225 of the book Flawless by Sara Shepard. The author of my book makes the characters believable by the personality's real. Like Hanna is a geek turned popular, shes into clothes, makeup, and shoes. Then there's Spencer, shes a smart but popular girl who likes to read. There's Aria who is different than most girls, she likes weird fashion stuff, reading, writing, and antiques. Lastly there's Emily, shes mostly into swimming. Anyway another thing that the author does to make the characters believable is that the events that they go through are events that could really happen. An example is when Emil figures out that shes gay. That could happen in real life. Another example is when Hanna and Mona transformed themselves into skinny, popular girls.
Im reading Dork in Diguise by carol gorman. my book is bout a kid named jeffery that is a dork trying to be a cool kid.Carol Gorman makes this belieable by including real life interactions. this book is a really nice book if you like short stories. i would recommend this book to a friend.
nice job @sbrown4
I am reading It's Not Easy Being Mean by Lisi Harrison and I am on page 59. The author makes the characters believable by giving them normal traits that normal people have. The characters Massie, Kristen, Alicia, Dylan, and Claire have real life interactions that make them realistic. Just like normal girls (not all girls are like this) they will do anything to become the "it" girls at their school. They will find a way to ruin you and won't stop messing with you until they get what they want. Don't get me wrong, it's a really good book.
@Gagrayson6 good
@SBrown4 I love that book! I read it just a while ago and I really enjoy the show
The book I'm reading is Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly, and I am on page 296. In Deep Blue, there are different mermaid civilizations and kingdoms, hardly making it believable. Maybe if the six main characters were human they'd be more believable. Although, their personalities are believable. Serafina is the first one. She's very sensitive and emotional. Neela is the next one, she likes to make clothes and costumes, and whenever she's anxious she eats mermaid candy. Ling is the other one, she's very down to earth. Then there's Becca who's incredibly erudite, and Ava who is wise and prophetic. Lastly is Astrid who's very rebellious and rude. The author makes these character's personalities believable by giving real examples of personality types.
@Sbrown4 Great blog!
@RRaisch6 Good job on your blog.
I am reading "Bad Girls Don't Die" by Katie Alender and I am on page 73. My main character Alexis is just an ordinary teenage girl that horrible things happen to. The author makes the main character come to life by making her show all the same emotions of a teenage girl. She has boy problems and trouble fitting in with the "popular crowed". Alexis also has problems communicating her problems to her parents. Katie Alender helps create the character by having her show qualities the audience can really relate to.
Sbrown4 Great description of your character!
RRaisch6 Great blog!
I am reading my ishmael, and i am currently on page 53. I think the author makes the main character believable by creating contrast. The story is told in flashback by the author. When she is telling the story she is 16, but the story is about her when she was 12. This helps to show how she has matured and how she understands the events that took place on a higher level than before.
gagrayson
sounds like every teenager
RRaisch6
funny name for the book... considering that its SUPER easy to be mean. well, for me that is
I am reading "The youngest Templar" by Michael P. Sherman and I am on page 91. The author of this book makes the characters believable because he makes them act like humans. He doesn't give any of them superpowers or any special abilities. These characters are normal humans that have been trained to fight in combat. Also these characters think real teenagers and talk to each other like two friends would.
Sbrown4: nice blog!
snturner3: sounds interesting!
@fwbougher I just laughed really really hard!
I am reading Trails and Targets by Kelly Eileen Hake and I am on page 136. The way Hake makes my characters real is by giving them each separate talents and sassy, sarcastic personalities. Not one character is perfect in the way they act and their life isn’t perfect. She makes her characters real by allowing them to make mistakes. My author makes my characters real because she also explains the way they look so in detail. She really makes them relate to people you would meet at school. She makes each description fit the age and personality of all the characters.
@Sbrown4
I really enjoyed your blog. Keep up the good work!
@gagrayson6
Nice post keep doing what your'e doing.
I am currently reading the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I have just finished this book. The author makes the characters situations seem real because what she writes could actually happen to somebody. like the main character Cass she is going to college (in Omaha). She also has a twin sister name Wren. that's another thing that could happen in real life having siblings.I think that Rainbow Rowell wrote a very excellent book and recommend it to girl and just girls (unless your a guy and your into this kind of thing.)
nice post @cmcknight4 and @dwrask3
I am currently reading 13 Hangman by Art Corriveau, and I am on page 40. The was Art makes the characters in the book real is that he makes the character have there own personalities. Tony has his personality of being curious and loving baseball. The book goes back in time and he gets to see his favorite baseball players.
nice blog! @hmastre3
great job! @cmcknight4
Im currently reading a book called
"downtown boy" by Juan M. The author in my book makes the character believable by making it realistic fiction. The boy in the book is a wrestler who is scared to wrestle. And, im on page 23 now.
hmaestre3 good blog
cmcknight4 u did a good job on your blog, keep up the good work
The book that i am reading is called the boy at the end of the world;and i am currently on page 37.
The author of my book,Greg van Eekhout,tried to make the characters that are in my book seem to be believable,but in my opinion ,he didn't do a very good job at it.I mean,seriously?Do you really expect me to believe that the main character(fisher)was born out of a ship?Please.There is no way that this could really happen.Therefore, I think that the characters in this book are not believable whatsoever.
The book I am currently reading is called Framed by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 59. The author of Framed makes the characters believable by putting them in real-world situations. He put the characters in a middle school, the characters are friends, and they are all schemey middle schoolers. The author also makes the characters believable by relating them to the REAL world. Kids also are getting in trouble(big trouble) for something they didn't do.
thines6: good job. keep up the good work
dwrask3: good job. keep up the good work
I am currently reading Flush by Carl Hiaasen and am on page 54. The author does a good job at making the characters believable by describing each of them at the beginning of the book. The author describes Noah’s face when Bull gives him a black eye. The author describes Lice really good by saying how he looks passed out drunk on the ground with his wife’s feet on his face. The author was good at showing what the characters look like and how they feel about Noah’s dad being in jail.
@sbrown4 nice job!
@rraicsh6 keep up the good work!
I am currently on page 100 of One for the murphys. By Lynda mullay hunt. The author makes the characters believable by giving the characters real life situations and giving them deep personalities. Carley is put into a foster home because he mother was an alcoholic and a gambler, her new husband was abusive and was put in jail, carley has a shy conservative personality. Mrs. Murphy is very helpful and has a soft loving personality.
nice details Sbrown4
good blog snturner3
I am currently reading Chomp by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 42. The main characters in my book are Mickey and Wahoo Cray. Mickey is the father of Wahoo and is he's very strong. He is strong because, despite his concussion, he still looks after his son, and manages to look after the wild animals sometimes. Wahoo is a very hard worker. What makes him a hard worker is his ability to maintain the wild animals without having too much help. The author makes the characters personalities believable because he uses real life situations and attributes.
Sbrown4, great blog!
RRaisch6, nice job, keep it up!
The title of the book i am reading is diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney i am currently on pg.58.i the book diary of a wimpy kid Jeff Kinney makes the characters believable because the main character Greg Hefley is a wimp and there are wimpy people in real life. Another way the author describes the characters as believable is he doesn't make them have super powers and stuff.one more way the author makes the characters believable is by giving a visual of what the character looks like. Those are the ways the author makes the characters believable.
I am currently reading The dangerous days of Daniel X by James Patterson. I am on pg. 70. Patterson makes the characters believable by having dialogue from son to mother, from downstairs to upstairs.
nice job jsmith4.
nice blog thines6
The book I am reading is the boys from old Florida. I am on page 30 and the author is Buddy Martin. I think the way the author makes the gator nation believable is because I have been to a Florida Gator game I have watch urban Myer as head coach. I think this is believable because they are real.
The book I am reading is Comeback Kids by Mike Lupica. I am currently on page 47. The book makes the characters believable by putting them in real life situation. The main character is a student who dads is in the army and they move a lot. He is to a school and no one knows him and he has a secret talent that only one person knows. This is a real situation and could happen in real life
rcortes5 great blog

great job Anonymous rcortes5
I am currently reading Someone to Love Me by Anne Schraff, I am on page 26. The author makes the character of the book believable because The Cindy Gibson doesn’t want to go to school, and she is missing out on her life. Cindy Gibson also has problems with her mother’s boyfriend Raffie he always tells Cindy that she is ugly and he calls her Ugly mugly. Cindy’s mother spends most of her time at work and with her boyfriend Raffie. All these things are believable because they could all happen.
Jsmith4
good job
asizer3 Good job
For the third nine weeks I am reading Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. I am currently on page 64. Brain Selznick makes the characters believable by showing them as they grow up. Then he tells you personal stuff about them like how their father died or something around that, and by getting to know them you start to really believe them as characters. After all of that you believe that character which in Mystery books leads you away from who actually preformed the crime creating suspense.
GGrayson6: Nice post, but watch the grammar and punctuation.
RRaisch6: Amazing post!
emasio6 nice job on that blog keep up the good work
kyesbik6 nice job man keep reading
i am currently still reading the book pretty ugly by Karyn Langhorne Folan and i am on page 39. Karyn Langhorne Folan makes the characters believable because inside of the book she has the characters using slang and acting ghetto. if you get deep enough into this book you would actually start to believe that you were there with them while they're using slang and talking. while i am reading it just makes me think about reality and how we talk now.
thines6 great job.
bmcphadden5 great blog keep it up.
I am currently reading "Do Not Pass Go" by: Kirkpatrick Hill. I am on page 47. The author makes the characters believable by giving them the same real world traits we have. For example, Deet goes to a school like the met of us kids do. He also has a father that works as a mechanic for old trucks. Also, the author describes the characters with such good detail. I can imagine everything the author explains about them.
@skunklersulaica3
awesome blog!
@ddallas5
good job on your blog bruh.
I am currently reading The skeleton man by Jay Bennett , i am on page 167. The author makes the characters believable because he describes them really well and he knows how to make them believable. He knows how to explain each character and he also makes them believable because it is like a real world problem , there is a problem you solve it.
The book I am currently reading is football champion by Pat Hughes, I am also on page 47. The author of my book explains the things what happens through the boy's life. An example of the authors thoroughness is when he says on page 24 " I broke my leg and was out for six weeks but I walked and ran after the fourth week so i regained strength and tried out for football". The author messes his life up but he makes up by letting him regain control over himself and letting him continue on with his life and football. This story is a good story to read even though this is about football and most people wont read it but its catching about the real football life.
Dgreek5 did well on the blog
Tfoye6 did grrreeeaaat on the blog:)
I have finished the apprentices by Maile Meloy. The author in the book makes the characters believable. Janie, one of the main characters, has the author write details that make her seem like a real person. The author writes about how she changes over the books. Benjamin, is an teenager who also changes a lot over the 2 years the 2 books differ.
@Sbrown good job on your blog.
@gagrayson6 good job on your blog but include more detail.
I am currently reading "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, and i'm on page 287. The author of my book makes the characters in my book believable because of the realism he puts into them. He makes Ender believable because he said he was a video game addict that doesn't like homework. That is real because most people in real life, especially video game addicts don't like homework. When you like video games you tend to focus on video games more than school which backs up the point of Ender not liking homework. The realism can make so many differences in a book because it's not obvious that these people are from a book when you describe them, and is why I find the characters more believable in this book. The author gave each and every character realism so every character makes sense in what they do which is why they are all more believable, with realism.
@sbrown4 good blog keep up the good work and work hard.
@gagrayson6 good blog, but where is the page number you are on.
the book i am reading is called homesick and i am currently on page 96. in the story the author makes the character trustworthy because they put the character in a situation where you feel sad for them.usually when someone is sad or something other people will will also feel bad for them creating an emotional appeal.
The book I'm reading is Her by Mike Lupica and I'm on page 32. The reason is that they use descriptive details. And said things that were beleivable. For example he told his son stories when he was kid. But all in all he's fake because he's a superhero.
good job @nlewis4
excellent @dgreek5
@tbanks3
I like your blog
i am currently reading silhouetted by the blue by traci L. jones and im on page 60. The author makes the characters believable by adding a drama filled atmosphere. also she makes serena carry a certain maturity that allows her to be basically real. The others only add to the reality.
@ gagrayson6
Could of did better
In my book "The Man In the Box" by Lois Dunn, the author makes my character believable because he didn't make him a monster or an animal. He also puts his thoughts and puts it from the boys perspective so when I am reading, i feel like i am in the story. The author also makes my character believable by putting him in a real life situation and making him react like most people would. The author also shares the boys feelings and explains why he doesn't do certain things.
NJlewis... needs improvement.
clynch2.... very good.
I am reading Daniel X by James Patterson and am currently on page 137. My author makes the characters in my book seem real by making there personality real and also normal things that happen in life. For insistence, Daniel's parents died in a car accident when he was 12. He was scared and fled the state. That's something i would think about doing if my parents were both killed.
Great Work! @SBrown4
Nice! Very Interesting! @RRaisch6
I am currently reading "Big Nate on a roll" by Lincoln Peirce and i am currently on page 9. My author makes his characters believable by describing them and drawing small pictures of them. Like he describes Nate as a short spiky haired kid that does not like school and believes he is destined for greatness. His pictures shows you how the characters look. The pictures that he draws are very detailed.
@gagrayson6 Great Job!
@dwrask3 nice blog
I am currently finished with the Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman. The author makes the characters believable by having them do some stuff ordinary that ordinary teens do. Such as having the nerdish girl having a crush on one of the school’s sports players. Or having two of the characters kiss each other alone for the first time. Or have them get a job in an odd place but they end up liking it. And lastly by having the character’s friends work at the same job as them and hangout together.
Good job VNelson2. That book sounds kinda creepy.
I am currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I’m on page 222 I think the author makes the characters believable by giving them realistic personalities. For example the main character Thomas has a loss of memory since he’s been in the Glade. His friends around him are all different which makes them more believable as regular people. Also they are all guys until the one girl arrives and they all are calling dibs on her. He is just a regular person so as a character in a book I can relate to him.
The book I'm currently reading is Mystery on the Army Navy Game The Rivalry By John Feinstein I'm on page 22.The author talks about the main character and describes who he is and what he does and what's going on during his life.The author talks about his football games,life,and other stuff.The main character is a person who does his best and plays hard and well.The main character learns to not give up and to go on with your goals.The author says that the main character is trying to achieve his goals and move forward.
Nice Book clynch2
Great Book NJlewis
I'm reading Of Mice and Men on page 57 by John Steinbeck. He makes the characters believable because they're just two guys. While one of them is mentally ill they are just two guys trying to make a living. It's not like they're perfect they have flaws and they have good things about them.
Clynch2 looks like a good book
HWerther3 Sweet.
Needs more sentences and needs capitalization debanks2.
I am currently reading "Don't Look Behind You" by Lois Duncan. I am on page 88. Although the book isn't that exciting to me, the author of the book is very descriptive. She makes everything in the book believable and seem real because you easily get caught in the book. She makes the characters seem very realistic aswell as everything else in the book. When I read the book, I can picture the characters very well in my mind. In the beginning there were only a few characters introduced, but I could picture them clearly because of the authors descriptiveness.
|@hwerther3 : Wonderful blog! |
|@tbanks3 : Wow. Very descriptive!|
I am reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and I am on page 22. I think my character in this book is very believable. He is just a young boy whose parents were divorced recently. My parents never got divorced but I think this book sort of helps me put it into perspective. For example, in the car ride to the plane his mom is trying to talk to him but he is being stubborn and not responding, like an angry kid would do. Also, when he is on the plane his pilot files and he is sitting in the cockpit next to him, and they are the only people on the plane. The pilot has a heart attack and now Brian has to fly. He is believable because he uses past knowledge like when the pilot taught him how to turn and simple things like how to fly up and down and since his uncle taught him how to use a radio, he can do that. All those things and more make this character believable.
@Sbrown4 Great job.
@sturner sounds like and interesting book.
I am reading The Underdogs by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 207. So far this is a really good book. It is about a football team in Forbes that is so poor that it cannot afford to have a football team, so the main character, Will, sends New Balance a letter asking for help so they could create a football team. The part that makes the characters believable is the fact that this is a realistic fiction book. It takes place in a real location, and it includes real qualities to the book. Nothing in this book have I read yet that was unrealistic.
@gagrayson6, Good job. It sounds like a good book.
@snturner3, Cool!
I am currently reading Theodore Kid Lawyer Boone by John Grisham, and I am on page 10. The author makes the character believable by putting him in a real life problem with his family. The main character also has a dream just like any other kid. The book also takes place in a real setting. So far the book has not been unrealistic.
Nice job GPettit2
@gagrayson6 good job
well i am reading the abduction by john grisham and i am on page 46 the book shows how the characters would act in real ;life like things most people do on a daily basis like order chinese food watch tv talk with freinds it takes place in a real location. everything in this book could really happen its a good book plus theres also stuff they say in the book that can actually be said they have conversations and real tone in there voice and i think its cool.
The book i am currently reading is hideout by Gordan Korman and i am on pg.213. The author makes it believable by putting them in a real situation with real people to overcome to situation. Also the book is in a real setting, nothing about the book has been unrealistic. Also the people in the book names are believable, they don't have made up names or something like that, they have real names, even the dog. If i didn't know i could possibly believe the book was based on a true story.
@bhastings3 nice job
@jritter2 nice blog
The title of the book I'm reading is called Mockingjay Part One by Suzanne Collins. I'm currently on page 115. The author makes the characters believable by the personality's everyone has.Everyone in the book has a personality that reminds me of someone I know. For example Katniss(main character) has that independent, strong, and brave persona that makes her think of my sister. Another person is Fennick he is strong, competitive, and smart guy which makes me think of one of my friends. the personality's the author made for these characters are awesome and so realistic.
@kmoore3 good job !
@snturner3 you always have good blogs . keep up with the good work girl!
@gagrayson6 nice job sounds like a great book.
I am reading "small as an elephant" by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I am on page 40. The author of my book makes the characters believable by the settings and the personality. The main character is a boy named Jack. He likes to stay at home,and he is a normal kid. Like other kids in real life. Another thing that the author makes the characters believable is the settings. For example in the book Jake and his mom goes camping and he also eats hotdogs and pay for it. These things can really happen in real life.
@Sbrown4 I really want to read that book. Great job!
@skkeys14 Great job on the blog!
@RRaisch6 That sounds like a really good book!
@yyoon sounds intresting maybe ill check it out.
I am reading harry potter by j.k Rowlings. I am currently on page 150 and it seems like an interesting book. the author of my book makes the character seem real by making the characters have feelings. and one of the most expected human trait is having feelings. feelings are like emotions sad happy mad things like that in my book the character has all of those feelings. like when harry potte4r found out he was going to wizard school he was exited.
sounds like a good book @sbrown4
good bock i have read it before @RRaisch6
I am currently on page 93 of the book "The Kidnappers" by Willo Davis Roberts. The author makes the characters seem real in the book because throughout the book the author explains the main characters emotions, feelings, and thoughts through first person view. I can empathize with the main character Joel more, so it makes me feel like the character is more realistic. Alongside with first person view, the author thoroughly explains in detail Joel's thoughts and emotions, making me feel as if he is real because he has the thoughts and emotions any other person in his situation would have.

@Gagrayon
there are so many grammar and punctuation mistakes, try to be more aware of them.
good blog sbrown4
good job gagrayson6
I am reading “One Tough Chick” by Leslie Margolis, and I am currently on page 47. The author of this book makes the characters believable by making them do stuff that can happen in real life. For example people can really have mental disorders. The main character in my book has a mental disorder. Her name is Annabelle, she doesn’t think like normal people think. She “has a mind of her own”. They picked her to be a student judge of their school talent show, but some of her friends are in the talent show she does not want to have to pick between them. The author also made them seem believable by giving them problem.
I am currently reading "Summer ball" by mike lupica. I'm on page 12. The way the author makes the characters believable in my book, is how the characters speak in the story. and how they react to things happening.
@SHenderson4 keep up the good work.
@krtodd4 good job!
sounds interesting! @jsmith4
@RRaisch6 nice.
I am reading Torment by Lauren Kate and I am on page 188. The author of my book makes the characters believable by using imagery. She creates an image in my mind by describing the characters really well. She tells everything the characters do, say and wear to give the reader an idea of what the character is like. The author is very good at using imagery to make the whole story play out in your mind.
SHenderson4: great blog!
krtodd4: Nice response!
I am currently reading Black Knights Tuskegee airmen By Lynn M.Homan and Thomas Reilly. I am on page 109. The author makes my characters seemed really because they take us through real events like war and what they went through together as a unit. What it felt like being the first black airmen a part of the Air force. How hard it was for them because of their race. @jhearn3 nice blog and @kmoore3 I like what I am seeing.
I'm reading the book Graceling by Kristin Cashore, genre is fantasy fiction, and on page 356. The author makes this book believable because of characters, dialogue, and emotions. Each character has there on personality and skills, so this makes every character diverse from each other. The communication or dialogue between characters is creative and responses that a normal person would make. Last is emotions, every character has their feelings or emotions on each other. So the author gives each character a sort personality like aggressive or kind.
RRaish6: good job on both summary and comments.
kyesbick6: Nice work on both comments and summary.
I am currently reading "Flush" by Carl Hiaasen, I am on page 58. In this story what makes there characters very believable and real is that there is a lot of emotion in the characters. The books main character is a 13 year old boy who's father just went to jail,the boy often visits his dad and his dad explains why he did what he did. Whats believable about this part is that when he tells him it shows you the sons thoughts of his father compared to everyone else. That he truly knows his dad inst a bad guy like the entire town thinks. His mom is full of different emotions. The author describes how she feels and what she does about it very well.
@hwerther3 that sounds really good!
@snturnner3 nice response!
I am reading One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams – Garcia and I am on page 8. The author makes the character very believable. The author makes them believable by giving them common characteristics and common ages that middle schoolers, like us, are. The characters are all sisters and most people can relate to that if they have siblings. This book is also placed back in time during segregation, which make it have real events from segregation make it more realistic. Plus, they give us a lot of dialogue to show what they are really like.
nice job @alandi4. very descriptive.
@oyakel4 nice job describing the book!
I am on page 51 in the book Ghost of War by Ryan Smithson. The author of the book is telling the real story of a 19 year old in the Army so that's a big give away. Also there are real events that could happen and already happened in the book. He also talks about army codes and phrases like "FTX"(Field Training Exercise. Includes how the character reacts to situations and his real life as a GI and talks about what he experienced in the army
@snturner3 great blog very descriptive.
@fwbougher interesting book also sounds like a teen.
i am currently reading the open window by Lemony Snicket and I am on page 42. The way the author makes the characters believable is by putting them in a realistic fiction situation. For example, the children could get kidnapped. Or the children actually could feel sad about their parents dying. He also puts them in situations that are not exaggerated.
great details jchandler5
arizzo5 awesome job
I am reading The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian by C. S. Lewis. I am currently on page 93. The author makes the characters believable many by their personalities. For instance, the four children lived in England before they returned to Narnia. And besides the talking creatures, there are still humans that actually live in Narnia. Prince Caspian is human, his uncle is human, and both were born in Narnia.

snturner3
Sounds really cool! :)
@jchandler5 great job with your details
I am reading Shadows Edge by Brent Weeks. I am currently on page 223. Brent Weeks makes the characters believable by the emotions he gives them. The main character always does what he feels is right. Like real people he will sometimes regret his decisions.
@Aparker5 Nice job!
@bmcbride5 Good job on your blog!
I am currently reading Assassin's Creed: Foresaken by Oliver Bowden on page 76. The author makes the characters believable by the personality. Like Haytham Kenway sends people to burn down his sons Native American village. Connor Kenway joins the Assassins to get revenge and freedom. Thomas Hickey joins the Templars because of greed.
Nice job Sbrown4.
RRaisch6 good job.
The book I’m reading is The Line by Teri Hall and I’m on page 17. The author make the main character, Rachel, believable by making her human, in really life there are humans. And by making her curious about what is past “The Line” or the border of “The Property”. She also has a mother that gave birth to her. You have to been born are you are just fake so the author included a mother that gave birth to her to make her more real.
The title of the book is i am a seal team six warrior and the author is howard e. wasdin and i finished the book but im rereading it. This is believable because in the book, it says based on a true story. The main character did what was necessary, he only regretted some of his actions or decisions. The more you read into the book the better feelings and epic actions you get. But mostly i enjoyed the book

i am reading The Underdogs by Mike Lupica. I am on,page 169. The way the author makes the characters believable is the details. Will Tyler lives in a poor town called Forbes. He's mom died. His dad is a football player who suffered and injury during a game.
@gagrayson6 good jod!
@RRaish6 Sounds like a good book

nice book @ncrawford6
nice job @jwitter6
Currently I am in the process of reading “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” by J.K. Rowling and I am on page #165. The first step to making the characters believable, no matter what book you are reading, is to give them all different personalities. Yes they can have a few things in common like most human beings but over all they must be different. One person may use multiple hand gestures while talking and another may leave their hands in a resting position. Also there is the way a person speaks, they may have a somewhat lax tone or a very intelligent one. A character may also be very nervous and their words may come out in a stuttering fashion. Another thing, it helps to have a backstory for the character, like Harry Potter, when he was younger a dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, came and killed his parents, attempting to kill him and failing. Or the character could have a somewhat normal one, for example; Ron Weasly, he had your average life, well if you were to be a wizard that is, he was born into a wizarding family and nothing overly dramatic happened to him until he goes to Hogwarts and meets ‘The Boy Who Lived’, Harry Potter. Then there is Hermione Granger, she is a very smart girl who has a somewhat short temper and she puts up with Harry and Ron’s suggestions.
@jritter2 - I've read that book before, I thought that is was pretty good
@hmaestre3 - I really really wanna read that book, I've been waiting for so long to read it
I'm currently reading "Shooter" by Walter Dean Myers and on page 51.
This book is believable because its in a way that your reading a recorded interview about a kid and a detective. Its about how Cameron best friend got shot and died... Its kinda weird but interesting at the same time. Hopefully it turns out to be a good book.
I am reading “Torn” by David Massey. The page number that I am currently on is page 45. The author of my book makes my book believable by him including specific details. David Massey makes the book visible in my head. He also includes a good structure and his settings are always on point. Also, it takes place in Afghanistan so this novel can come from an actual soldier’s personal experience. The Author includes a good descriptive use of language. The rising actions, falling actions, and climax are all interesting.
@Mpickles6 I love harry potter, its one of my favorite books!
good book and blog @ggrayson6
@ Tfoye6 good job on your blog. Good use of details!
@gagrayon6 wonderful job! On your blog.
MPickles6 i`m going to read that book eventually
mmercado6 my name is in that blog that`s amusing
the book i am currently reading is the hunger games mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. i am currently on page 157. the way i think the author of my book makes the characters believe able is because of their checked pasts. the descriptions of these characters is very believable even in the movies. even though in the movies their are no descriptions really
I'm currently reading The White Fox Chronicles by Gary Paulsen. I've finished the book. The main charachter is Cody Pierce nickenamed White Fox. The author makes Cody believable by giving a discription of what Cody looks like. The author also makes his reactions and thoughts believable.
That's cool cweinber6
That's cool sbrown4
The book I am reading is comeback kids by Mike Lupica and I am on page 53. The author of my book makes the character believable by putting inside real life situations. For instance, the main character Scott is a traveling child that’s already been in two different school. He has met a boy named Chris who is very popular and is good at sports. He and Scott become great friends and he finds out about Scott’s secret talent.
@Sbrown4 great job i like how you described what the main character goes through.
gagrayson6 good job keep up the good work!
I am Blood is Thicker I am on page 78 and it is by Paul Langan.The author makes the book believable because it the things people go through in real life the characters in the book go through.The book reminds me of my friend cause the things she go through the character Darcy is going through.This is a very good book and I would recommend the book to her.
ggrayson6 Nice job and the book seems like a really good book.
rraisch6 very great job and I read that book when I was in 6th grade it is an awesome book
I’m reading Perfect Season by Tim Green and I’m currently on page 60. The way Tim Green makes the characters believable is they are really relatable. Each character has something everybody can relate to. Troy the main character was in love with football and that really relates to me. His mom is really strict and it’s her way or the highway. I know that can relate to a lot of people in Fort Clarke.
@ABedard6 great blog
@kberry2 you read so fast, your always done with a new book. Great job!
I am currently reading Devon Delaney Should Totally Know Better by Lauren Barnholdt and I am on page 57. I think the author of my book makes the characters believable by letting the readers know about the characters’ true personalities and characteristics. The book describes everything related to the book’s plot and the characters. For example, Lexi, Devon’s best friend, is described by a characteristic that she has, which is always being nice and honest. Also, the author makes things happen in the book that could also happen in real life. These are the significant aspects that the author makes the characters believable.
@mpickles6 Great blog! Nice details.
@xmatos5 I like your book! It sounds interesting.
I am reading "The Finisher" by David Baldacci and am on page 20. The author of the book makes the characters believable by giving them real characteristics as well as qualities. He gives the main character (Vega Jane) a very real personality, making her smart, sensitive, very worrisome, etc. He also gives the second main character (Delph) a very real personality. He's smart, careful, caring, etc. He also threw in the extra detail that Delph stutters, which is something very real that people do.
@Sbrown4 Great response
@RRaisch6 Good detail
I am reading The O'Reilly Factor For Kids by Bill O'Reilly and Charles Flowers and I am on page 25. My book doesn't really have characters unless Bill O'Reilly (the narrator) is one. If you do consider him as a character, the character is believable. The reason why is because Bill gives real life situations about the things he talks about. For example he was talking about how you know if you have a real friend; he gave his life story of a time he lost a friend.
Sounds cool Sbrown4
Nice blog RRaisch6
I was reading Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson, and I have finished it. The author makes the characters in my book more believable by showing that they aren't prefect. For example, it is an ongoing theme that the main character of my book, David, is really terrible at making metaphors. Although this is an insignificant detail to the plot of the book, it makes the character more believable by showing that everyone has flaws, even if they are petty. Another big theme that makes the characters believable is that everyone has a weakness. My book is set in a post-apocalyptic future where evil super humans rule over and oppress ordinary humans and the only people that stand up to these super humans is a group of people known as the Reckoners. The Reckoners are able to assassinate the super humans through finding and exploiting their weakness. This really makes the characters more believable because it shows that everyone, even super humans, have some weakness.
Sbrown4: Great job
kyesbik6: Nice blog
I was reading Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck, but I already finished my book. The author makes the characters more believable by adding specific traits to them. For example Kelsey she is stubborn and playful and Ren is calm and knowledgeable. The author also add personal conflicts to each character, like Kelsey she is afraid to love because she lost the people dear to her before. Also the author likes to add descriptive details that makes not just the characters, but the settings and conflict feel like they're real.
KBaxter6 The book seems interesting!
arizzo5 Great job on the blog!
I'm currently reading Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, and I'm currently on page 12. The author makes the characters believable by making the characters do stuff that people used to do in the modern old ages. For instance, instead of driving cars, flying planes etc, they could only sail on wooden boat where they wanted to go to. Additionally, the things that happen in my book sound more realistic, like when David climbed a hill, that a shepherd's house was on and he knew who the shepherd was, that's believable.
Sbrown4: Great job!
alandi4: Sounds like a good book.
I am currently reading “The Red Pyramid” by Rick Riordan and I am on page 151. The author makes the main characters (Sadie and Carter) believable by giving them real names. He also gives them attributes of brother and sister by having them argue all the time. He also makes them curious when they learn about their family history. They are also athletic.
I am currently reading Divergent by Veronica Roth and I am on page 209. I think that the author made the author made the characters believable by giving them emotions and feelings. The author also gives every character different personalities and traits. For example Beatrice is a strong-willed, brave sixteen year old girl. Another character in the book, Tobias is also a strong, brave teenager but he is a male and is 18 years old. In the book Beatrice and Tobias have an instant connection when they meet. This shows that in the book, the characters are realistic.
ABedard6 Great job!! Keep up the good work.
RRaisch6 Great job. I love that book.
I am currently reading Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, I am on page 135. The way the author makes the characters believable is by the way she talks about the main characters situation as if it has happened to her. The book is realistic fiction because this situation could easily happen to anyone, any day. I honestly love the way this book is set up.
@RRaisch6 That book sounds great I should read it!
@hwerther3 Your blog was great, keep up the good work!
I am currently reading The House of Hades by Rick Riordan and I am on pg 235. The way the author makes the characters belivieble is that he includes family past and relationships into the story.
I'm on page 57 of If I Stay by Gayle Forman. The author makes the characters believable because they are showing real emotion. The book is about a very tragic accident, and the point of view is from the main character's point of view. She constantly asks herself questions about the situation and is responding to the situation as any real person would. Also, the other characters are showing their emotions, crying, and doing specific actions that make sense with flashback.
@sbrown4 I think I'm going to consider reading that, considering I am into clothes, makeup, and shoes.
@skunklersulaica3 That book seems good, nice blog, keep it up!
I am currently reading November blue's written by Sharon M.Draper And I'm on page 136.And the author makes the book believable by how the story takes place in a high school with girl's that have lots of drama And issue's that interfere in this one for life.Another about the book is that it has the violence that some teenagers in the book
Have against other's. Plus it tells about how her ordinary life goes after she Tell her mom about the baby she gonna have which doesn't end Well for her.
@elangford6
Good job explaining why your book is believable.
@NPorrata5
Great details in blog.
I am currently reading Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 54. Mike Lupica makes the characters believable by making them have thoughts. They think just like a teenager, like myself, would think. The story is all about teenagers facing issues and trying to solve them.This is how he makes the characters believable.
elangford6: Great blog this week!
kbaxter6: I really liked your examples.
My book is “Legend” by Maria Lu currently I am on page 131 of 305. The author makes my characters seem real by placing them in real life situations with things that could happen. They feel pain just like humans do. They have problems just like we do. The characters come alive in my mind making it easier to have connections with the book. The author did a fantastic job on making them feel like they are a part of my society and my life time.
mmoss6 good work.
dwhite3 nice job.
I am currently reading True Legend by Mike Lupica and I'm on page 54. My main Character is believable because even though he is really good at Basket Ball he still messes up from time to time. Also he forgets to do his homework a lot. On top of that he hates being the "new LeBron" nad having scouts all over him. All he wants is a regular life with his mom and still be good at basket ball.
rabram good job
ncrawford keep it up!
I am reading Ungifted by Gordon Korman and I am on page 23. The author of my book makes the characters believable by there personality. Donnovan has the personality of a troublemaker, he's into pulling pranks also. The author also makes the characters believable by giving them things like dogs as pets. Another way is that they have real school elements like basketball games.
Sbrown4 great job !
RRaisch6 great job!
I am currently reading The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine, and I am on page 188. Kristin Levine makes the main character believable by having the setting in a real time period. like it being segregated and in the 50s. Another reason is the problems. The two main characters Liz and Maddie had to break the law just so they could be friend. A lot of people now would do that for there best friends.
great job sbrown4 that shounds like a really good book.
great job!! cmcknight4 I love that book. I hope you like it just as much as i did. Also your blog fantastic keep up all your good work.
I'm reading Baseball great by:Tim Green i am on page 53. He makes it believable because he gives the characters lifes a lot of detail and description.Each person has a backstory.The events in the book could really happen.It is a good book.
@sbrown good job.
@rraisch excellent work.
The book I am currently reading is M or F? By Lisa Papademetriou, and I am on page 128. The author makes the characters believable because they act just like teenagers do in real life. The drama that goes on in the book could very well happen at our school. It's all very realistic. I think the author does a great job at making the characters sound believable.
@jatwood3 good job!!
@iharris5 nice!! Keep up the good work
I am currently reading cover-up by john Feinstein and I`m on page 50. My character is believable because he is a teenager who gets a job as a super bowl reporter. The super bowl is real being a reporter is real, he`s doing all real things. He was also fired by USTV and then hired by CBS. This whole book is about a real event.
@jatwood3 good job
@rraisch excellent work.
