1 – 200 of 261 Newer› Newest»The book I am reading is Twilight the character in my book which is Edward he can be stubborn and sometimes positive. Since he is a vampire he tends to like suck the blood out of people. There are parts of him that nobody knows about so I guess we can call him secretive. Some character traits that Edward has is thirsty for blood and he is talkative. The speech would be that Edward told his friend “Don’t move” that could show he’s demanding or wants to look out for his friend. The thought would be when Bella called out to her father Edward thought to himself who else. Which shows common sense like who else would he be talking to. The effect would be every walked away from Bella which would show like they don’t like her that’s why they left away from her. The action would be that Bella kissed Edward which shows she likes him. The looks would be that Bella had put on a nice amount of makeup which shows she cares about the way she looks. The page I am on is 12 and the author is Stephanie Meyer.
The book i'm reading isInfinity Rings. I am on pg.100. The author of the book is James Dashner. Dak is pretty much straight to the point. He is a nerd so at times he can also be boring."Dak Smyth was a nerd. He'd been called worse."
@Kherring2
You're really reading twilight. It sounds pretty good so far.
Its Nathan.
My book is Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson, the main character is David. He is a very focused person the author says he is determined. He is very good at getting others on board with his ideas. In the book he convinces the Reckoners to kill one of the most powerful Epics. For traits he’s stubborn and still acts like a little kid when he sees something he wants. And I would picture him as mid height skinny with short brown hair.

I've heard about the series but I've never liked the vampire thing.
nlewis5
I've heard of the series and have been waiting to get a book.
The book i am reading is unbroken im on pg.100 the author of the book is Laura Hildebrand Louie pretty much is the pretty boy in the story and since he is the pretty much he tends to get the most attention from the people in the story . There are parts of him that everyone likes and there are some parts at witch every one hates . like the fact that Louie acts stuck up at times or even that Louie thinks he is better then every one else.the effect is that now since he tend to act stuck up not everyone likes him . The action would be that Louie tends to act stuck up.the The looks would be that Louie thinks he looks to good . or better then every one else .
@kherring2. good book
@blugenbeel6 your book is good
The book I'm reading is called Guitar Notes and I am on page 116. The main character in this book is Tripp Broody, Tripp loves music and playing his guitar. Tripp is a loner,creative, mischievous and music lover. "Tripp Broody (not a band or orchestra person) would like a practice room (if the school has a guitar to borrow). This is no joke.This is a matter of survival." This tells us that he is a major music lover and can not live without it. In the book Tripp plays a prank on his mom because she took his guitar. He replaced her coffee grounds with dirt to get back with her. His actions shows that he can be mischievous. The author of this book is Mary Amato.
The book I am reading is Ranger's Apprentice and I am on page 66. The main character in this book is Will. Will is a 15 year old, always short for his age, who always wanted to be a warrior. He was just chosen to be an apprentice for a guy named Halt,who is a co-commander for the other apprentices. Will is patient and confident. The author is John Flanagan.
Agood6's book sounds familiar to me.
Nlewis5's book sounds good.
The book I'm reading is Marc Aronson's "Witch Hunt". I'm currently on page 102. One of the main characters is Abigail Williams. Abigail is very different, and by different I mean, she may look and act innocent but truly she is evil and dark. Abigail is very sociable with adults and children. Her thoughts are about how she could get away with anything and who she can accuse of next. Her uncle is the head judge of the town of Salem, which is a big reason why she is sneaky and cruel. Other people think that she is just an innocent girl who is having to go through all this trouble in town. Her actions are mainly tattle tailing and getting away with stuff. Her looks is what mainly fools people , she has long black hair and normal village clothing which makes her blend in with every one else .
my main character in my story his name is will tyler. my charater is strong because he plays footballl and he's very talented at it. he's always positive no matter what happens in life like for sports tryouts or tests just basically anything.
@Agood6 "Guitar Notes" sounds like a book I would enjoy !
@kherring2 Your details of Edward are cool.
@mscott2 your character sounds actually pretty intresting two thumbs up from me.
@Agood6 your book something enjoyable that i would like to read
The main character in this book is a boy named Leo and he is the Sound Bender in this book. He is like the main character in this book. The book characterizes this person as the building block of this story he makes up the story.
witch hunt sounds pretty good
The book i'm reading is The Enemy i'm on page 412 and the author is named Charie Higson. The character i'm using for the steal is Nick. The character trait that Nick has is scary. An example from the book is ""I'm going to slaughter you little pigs," he snarled. His dreadlocks were flapping around his head like rays of the sun in a child's drawing." This is the part when Nick is trying to kill Small Sam and The Kid. He is demon that feeds children like pigs then eat them.
Ranger's Apprentice sound pretty good too.
The book I'm reading is Middle School Save Rafe, by James Patterson and I'm currently on page 240. The main character of the story, Rafe, is a boy in the 7th grade who has longer hair and is a medium sized. Rafes personality is mellow and quiet, and he likes to draw. The author characterizes Rafe as kind, even though he doesn't like to always follow the rules. An example of Rafe being kind, was when he gave his lunch to someone who didn't have one.
The book that I am reading is Ranger's Apprentice: The Sorcerer of the North by John Flanagan. I am on page 288. The main character is Will Barton, an official Ranger of King Duncan. His personality is being silent and patient. His thoughts are very strategic to save people and act as a recon. ". . . merged into the shadows. . ." (270). This quote is used to show how strategic he is.
The book that I am reading is Kingdom Keepers: Disney at Dawn and I am on page 103. The main character in my book is Finn. He is one of the DHI'S of the park . He is fearless against Maleficent."'I beat her once I can do it again.' I tried to say it as heroicly as I could" He is also courious. He wants to know what happened to his friend Jess and he will not rest until he finds her. He always stays positive. When at the worst time he still stays positive.
The book that Im reading is called Cat's Liar by Christine Feehan, and the main character is Catarina Benoit. In this book, Cat is a smart, fierce, and good person, that has been through a lot in her past years. She has trust issues, and goes through a lot of stress. Cat is very shy whenever she's around people, she has self-confidence, she makes a lot of others feel "alive", she avoids people that tries to help her out , and she dresses casually, like a regular girl. Catarina is in a lot of danger and tries very hard not to show the pain inside. She hides a lot of her emotions to herself , and she doesn't have friends.
Sounds thrilling, and interesting!
That book sounds cool, but not so cool , and a little nasty, but good description!
My book is called trackers and I am on page 131 Patrick Carman. One of my characters is Emily she is a very bossy character that is soiled and always gets her way. She loves computers and that seems to be the only things she doses not get mad at. She is very athletic and even though she get in a lot of terrible in class she is very smart. And even though she is very mean she is nice inside
the book book you have is very good and i like your discription@ARobinson2
the book book you have is very good and i like your discription@Kherring2
Kingdom Keepers sounds pretty good!! .
The book Unbroken sounds pretty good too!!.
taskew1 There are alot of people who are like Louie at our school.
I am currently reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth and I am on page 75. The main character in my book is Tris Prior. Tris is kind, strong-minded, and stubborn but she can also be rude and sassy. An example of STEAL is when she says Yeah and do you really think it helped to talk to me like I was a child who didn’t know any better. This shows how strong-minded or determined to gain respect. Some character traits that Tris has are curiosity and selfishness, for example when she says You don’t have to come, but I need to get out of here. I need to know who Edith Prior was, and who’s waiting for us outside the fence, if anyone. I don’t know why but I need to. This shows how curious Tris is o get to the other side of the wall.
@kherring2 Twilight sounds like a very interesting book.
@mncolton2 your book sounds like a really good book.
I found the Divergent series pretty boring
I'm reading book called "Warriors:into the wild". I'm on page 97 and the author is Erin Hunter. The main character of this book is Rusty who is firepaw. He is very brave, full of energy, calm and kind. Even he was a kitty pet and he it was the first time he had met the wild cat he had no scruple of fighting against the wild cat. He is very calm. We can know that because when other clan warriors ignored him that he was a kitty pet he was just sitting in silence.
@mncolton2 I want to read your book!
@kherring2 good details
The title of my book is "the Juvie Three" by Grodon Korman and im on page 98. The main character is Gecko.Gecko personailty is like laid back, all he wants to do is be like his older brother Rueben. The author characterize Gecko by saying he was a young teenager with a weird accent and decides to be like his brother. And he tries to escape the juvenile dentention center & he also have weird thoughts. Gecko can be compasionate if he wants.
@awhitfield4 sounds like a good book.
@mncolton2 sounds like it can be a movie
The book I’m reading is called The Secret of Rover and I’m on page 194. One of the main characters in this book is David. He is kind to others and does what he believes is right. David is shy and doesn’t seem very confident. “‘You can’t- you shouldn’t-‘David has risen to his feet, but he found himself at a loss for words.” This shows that David doesn’t have much confidence when he’s trying to stand up for himself, but he tries to do what he thinks is right.
awhitfield4 That's a really good book!
ARobinson2 That book sounds interesting
Anonymous Agood6

Your character in the book reminds me of me because i love to be sassy.And I'm very fierce.
The book I'm reading now is the "Cream Puff Murder" by: Joanne Fluke, and I am currently on page 189. The main character in this book is Hannah Swensen,Hannah is one of those characters who is careful, brave, responsible, and smart, but has the horrible luck of finding the murder victim. For ex., "Taking a deep breath a courage, Hannah tugged until the solid mass turned from back to front. She took one look and swallowed hard as she stared down at blond hair, a perfect figure, and lifeless blue eyes with a deep indentation between them." (p.112, STEAL: Action). This shows that Hannah has the courage enough to face a dead person, which supports one of her character traits.
zlstevenson23
Interesting name for the main character, but brilliant personality!
awhitfield4
Ah, so the Divergent rose again in another book... Love the personality but personally, the books should've ended after the first one.

The book that I am currently reading is called “Addie on the Inside” I’m currently on page 76 and this book was written by bestselling author James Howe. I am enjoying this book so far. The main character in this story is a girl named Addison but referred to in the book as Addie. The part of STEAL that I will be talking about today is thoughts. She is not as confident as she may come out to be because on the first page of the book she tells us every name in the book she’s been called as said on page 5. “They say in seventh grade you are who they say you are but how can that be true? How can I be a Godzilla-girl, lezzie loser, know-it-all, big mouth, beanpole, string bean, freaky tall, spaz attack, brainiac,*bad word*...” The list goes on but it’s the fact that she actually agrees with them and believe every word they say. She doesn’t have enough self-confidence to realize whatever she thinks that she is that she is.

@ISwarts4
Interesting book and the main character has a very interesting personality.
@awhitfield4
Sounds like an interesting book you make me want to read it.
Twilight was a little boring to read.
The book I am reading is called "Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan and I am currently on page 285. The author of this book characterizes Percy as a very judgmental person. In the exchanging of dialog with Dionysus and Percy shows that Percy is very judgmental. The example of S.T.E.A.L. is speech as shown in the dialog. The text states "'You're a god.' 'Yes, child.' 'A god. You.'" This how Percy was being judgmental to Dionysus by the way Dionysus looked. This is how the author characterizes the character, Percy Jackson.

I messed up on my other comment so this is a redo.

This should be my final redo while typing some of my words were accidentally deleted.
@awhitfield4 I love the "Divergent" I might reread them when i finish my book.
@awhitfield4 I love the "Divergent" I might reread them when I finish my book.
Another typo in the comment.
@Dnazariorodriguez That seems like a very interesting book, I might consider reading it.
I'm currently reading Rules by Cynthia Lord and I'm on page 125. The main character is Catherine. The part of STEAL I will use is actions and she would be helpful because she helps out her friend Jason. Jason is a kid with a disorder which makes him not able to talk so he has to use card so he can communicate with other people. To help Jason Catherine makes cards for her to help him and to teach him. Anyways I'm really enjoying this book.
@Jfox4 That seems like a good book!
@kherring2 I was thinking about reading that book.
I'm reading Star Wars the way of the apprentice I'm on page 35. The Author is straight to the point. It is my second book. The book is great yet so weird. Mr.Noles introduced me to the books of star wars
I'm reading Star Wars Way of the Apprentice. I'm on page 35, the author is pretty much straight to the point. It's my second book this year and the book is great yet so weird. The person that introduced the Star Wars books to me was Mr.Noles. This book is so creative and amazing it makes you want to read the whole series. You guys should really read this book it is exhilarating. My example of S.T.E.A.L is action because Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker embark on mission that is so dangerous that they needed 7 JEDI cruisers and 6 Transports , and 4 Mini Cruisers. Anakin Skywalker is a Jedi who became a padawan in his second year of training. The Jedi council knew that this was very rare and it had only happened once before with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
This is my redo.
the main character in my book is named Kira she is very gentle and strong, she is an orphan with a twisted leg but still does the job she has been asked to do. the author characterizes her by making her to the other characters look helpless but to the reader look self reliant and resourceful. My character is pretty talkative but she is unselfconscious about her twisted leg, to the other tykes in the story she makes them feel lucky that they are healthy.
I’m reading “Life As We Knew It” by Susan Beth Pfeffer and I’m on page 179. Miranda is the main character in my book. Miranda is very emotional. In the text it says, “ ‘Mom!’ I cried, and flung myself into her arms.” This shows that she can cry easily and she has a lot of emotions.
@Ryassin4 That sounds like a good book.
@erowland4 Your character sounds really cool.
I am reading "Michael Vey: The Prisoner Of Cell 25" written by Richard Paul Evans I am on page 248. The S.T.E.A.L characteristic is action. Michael Vey, the main character, acts like he can do anything, he is optimistic. My example is this one time when he was being bullied he shocked the bullies like a boss.
ajoseph5
The character sounds funny.
ryassin4
The characters sound really boss, they sound like they can do anything.
The main character in The Death Cure, by James Dashner, is Thomas. I'm currently on page 260. He has the personality that gets things done and is able to move on no matter what. The author characterizes him as motivated, powerful, and shows that he never gives up. A STEAL characteristic is durable.
aghenderson4
That guy sounds like a beast.
Ryassin4
I love Star Wars, it's a great series of movies and books.
I am reading The Heritage of Music by Katherine B. Shippen and Anca Seidlova. I am on page 235. Beethoven is a very serious person, has anger issues but than also very loving. His emotions effects others in his music. If he feels upset after a loss, he will compose music that will express what he is feeling. When someone else plays his piece, they are able to feel the emotions he put into it because Beethoven has very strong emotions when it comes to music.
@Ryassin4 Star Wars is a great movie, I never read the books yet.
@ISwarts4 Sounds like a great book! Those types of books I always love to read other than nonfiction.
The book I was reading was My Heart and Other Bloack Holes by Jasmine Wanga. I finished a few days ago, but really wish I hadn't, since it was so good. The protagonist of the book is Aysel Seran. She's a depressed, nerdy, 16 year old girl who's creativity and depth don't get to shine through. The author portrays her as a sad teenager who wants to die, but, as the story unravels, expresses how creative, nerdy, and deep she actually is. Like on page 242, Aysel thinks to herself, "Maybe that's what love rally boils down to-having someone who cares enough to pay attention so that you're encouraged to travel and transfer, to make your potential energy spark into kinetic energy." Towards the end of the book, Aysel realizes that she's not a bad person and that her life is worth living.
@LBaker4. I'm a huge fan The Maze Runner trilogy and I complete agree with you about Thomas. Have you seen The Scorch Trials yet?
@ ajoseph5. I really want to read that book, is it good?
I am reading the book "Hunter: a SUPERHUMAN Clash", By Michael Carroll. I am on page 167. The main character of this sequel is Lance McKendrick, a con artist who is a proto-superhuman. (He was affected by a quantum shift but it didn't take completely) He is a very complex character, who has a skill of making people subconsciously like him. This gives him many friends and the skill set of a con-artist. He joins a circus and gets them to trust him, which is the E part of steal, his Effect on others. This shows how likable he is due to being a proto-superhuman.
@lbaker4
I really enjoyed the Maze Runner series as well.
@aghenderson4
I liked the Micheal Vey series as well, the whole idea of the bio-engineering tech involved is very interesting.
The book I am Reading is Gathering Blue by Lois Lowery and I am on page 51.The main character in my book is Kira she is shy, brave, and confused. “Puzzled, Kira waited a moment. But there were no other instructions.” She has to wait and be told what to do or she wont do anything. She is on trial now because people say she is a waste of space and she is distracting and she doesn’t help with anything. She is fighting to stay in their village because if she cant she will be left in the field to be eaten by “beasts”.
Matt cruse is a mature person. The author puts him as a brave person because he saved a mans life. He is not rude or mean to any person even if he doesn't like them. He loves learning about flying. Also, he wants to be a captain when he grows up.
cbruck6 That is a good character.
@erowlad4 That is a great way to discribe Kira i didn't think about that.
tfolston6 That is a sad character, but at least she has a skill.
@msmith2 That is a good book and that is exatcly how i would discribe her to
The book I'm reading currently is called "The boy problem", I am currently on page 183 and the author is Kami Kinard. The main character in my book is Tabbitha Reddy (Tabbi for short). Tabbi is very superstitious, determined and goofy. The author shows these traits by having Tabbi say things like "I believe in signs..." page 1 and "I'm going to get the details." page 85. These traits are shown using mostly the S,T and A in STEAL.
@kherring2 I like your explanation and I agree with Edwards personality bases on the movie I watched.
@dnazariorodriguez I've heard of this book, I heard it was really good. Great explanation of STEAL.
I'm still reading the Bully by Paul Langan and I'm on page 94. My main character is Darrell. He is a freshman at Bluford High . He I'd a new student. He has to pay this bully named Tyray his lunch money everyday or he'll suffer . The author describes Darrell as a weak poor boy . Darrell wants to show Tyray how he feels by using violence . "The only way Darrell could see the book helping him was if he hit Tyray over head with it ." Darrell is a boy who is mighty small for his age . Darrell is a boy who is filled with fear . "You look like you could get hurt if somebody tried to high-five you ".
What is a Proto-Superhuman ? @cbruck6
Why did she want to kill herself ? @tfolston6
I am on page 267 and the main character and protagonist, Quentin, in "Paper Towns" by John Green is Quentin. Quentin is a quirky, nerdy, semi insecure guy. He's a senior in highschool on his last week of school. He has a perfect attendance record and generally hangs out with the band geeks and over analyzes a lot. When the antagonist, Margo asks him to help her out on a mission one evening, he is more than willing to oblige. He has been head over heals for her since their early childhood but they grew apart and drifted into different social groups. He finds himself heart broken when she disappears without any warning the next morning. His life becomes preoccupied by the constant thoughts of Margo and decoding the clues she left for him to find her whereabouts. "It became a weekend of reading, of trying to see her in the fragments of the poem she'd left for me." This quote is an example of indirect characterization, it shows that he's dedicating all of his time to finding Margo, he proves himself to be a caring friend, maybe more than a friend. He shows great volition as he searches for his first love who he has spoken to for the first time in years only days earlier.
jedwards2
That sounds like a sad book.
erowland4
That book sounds very inspirational and emotional.
jedwards2
good description of your charecter, very creative
esmith5
your main comment is written very well. good job
The book I am currently reading is “Flawless” a Pretty Little Liars novel by Sara Shepard and I’m on page 104. The main character in the book is Allison DiLaurentis who was found dead in her own backyard. The example of S.T.E.A.L. that I’m using is effects on others. Allison has effected every one of her friends by changing them from being losers to being pretty and popular. I'd describe Allison to be outgoing but mean or rude. For example “Ali loved to talk and be the center of attention,” and “Ali and Aria loved to tease Mona and make fun of her glasses.” This shows that she could be fun and talkative or a bully.
esmith5 I love that book
The book I am reading is the maze runner and I am in page 102. The main character in this book would be Thomas. Thomas is a brave person who knows fear but doesn't listen to it. The author feels that Thomas is the chosen one, he was and is allways the favorite. A character trait for STEAL would be when Minho says that he thinks Thomas should become a runner. This shows that Thomas is brave, it also shows how other characters feel about him.
erowland4 your book sounds very interesting.
I read hatchet by Gary Paulson and the main character brain is characterized in
the book a different way then most books. He is the only person in the book so he cant have an effect on others or looks and does not talk to himself so the author characterizes him on mostly thoughts. For example the first day his alone he is in shock of what happened but tries to keep calm and focus on what he needs to do. He does this by telling himself to not overthink things and have simple thoughts. instead of thinking, I was on a plane going to my dads house and the pilot had a heart attack and died and now am alone in the wild. Just think, I was in plane crash and now am alone in the forest. By saying this the author is stating that the main character is a controlled simple person. And I finished the book.
@kcox I have heard that book is interesting
@sclark I could never read a book like that too dramatic and I don't like death, at least in a book
My book is Game Changers: Play Makers by Mike Lupica and the main character is Ben. He is nice, caring, and a good friend. The author characterizes them as a person that goes out of his way to help others. Ben is positive to others and brings their attitude up. Ben is also confident and encourages everyone. In the story Bens friends where nervous about the season and Ben told them that if we work together and play hard we can win, encouraging his friends.
kcox6 the maze runner sounds like a good book, I have seen the movie but I have not read the book.
esmith5 very goo description of the book, so far it sounds good.
The book I am reading is “Insurgent” by Veronica Roth. I am currently on page 181. In the book I am reading the main character is a girl, her name is Beatrice but she goes by Tris. The author describes Tris as a worrisome person. For example Tris thought to her self, “Now I have to live with everyone else’s judgment as well as my own, and the fact that nothing- not even me- will ever be the same again.” Veronica shows her worrying in Tris’s thoughts, Tris is often strong but she can also be, childish like.
@esmith5, that sounds like a really exciting book, the way you're explaining it makes me want to read it even more.
@awhitfield4, I'm looking forward to reading that book next.
I`m currently reading The Giver the author is Lois Lowery and i'm currently on page 200. The main character Jonas is tall,slim, and he has pale eyes which are blue. The author kind of characterizes him as a brave anxious person. For example around pages 140-150 he didn't think it was fair that no one could see color or choose what they wanted. He really wanted to change that but he could not. His speech is what makes him that way out of the 'steal'words.
nmccleese1
I've heard it is a great book and I am very interested in reading it next.
shoulihan6
That's a really good book.
I'm reading The Cardturner by Louis Sachar, page 130. The main character is Atlon Richards. He can't drive well, he is sort of a push over because his parents are making him hang out with his rich great uncle to get a part in his will. He's also a fast learner because he picked up the complicated bridge game quickly. And he's forgiving because his girlfriend broke up with him and is now dating his best friend.
I am reading Steve Jobs by Patrice Lakin, I’m on page 85. The main character in my book is obviously Steve jobs. His personality is that he is brave, smart, and an out of box thinker. In the book it explained that he is brave when it said “In Steve determined way he convinced the people managing Halteck that they should hire him to work on weekends.” which this is apart of speech.
Kcox6
I heard from many people that is a good book I might read that next.
Cbrunk6
That book sounds instresting
I am reading “The Grimm Conclusion” by Adam Gidwitz and I am on page 269. The main character is a girl named Jorinda and she's one of the twins. Her early life was like the original tale of Cinderella and she became Queen at a young age. But, when her prince/king left her, she became a tyrant because she didn't know how to rule. With her twin, their dad died when they were born and their mom really didn’t know how to raise them, so she abandoned them. So, she mostly love and cares for her twin. The author shows that they are loving by having one say, “If you won’t leave me, I won’t leave you.” In which it shows they care for each other and love one another company. That's how the author characterize Jorinda and her twin.
BRivera4 Wow. He is very strong after all that.
GKloeppel5 He is really the leader type.
The book I am currently reading is Gathering Blues by Lois Lowery and I am on page 110. The main character in my book is named Kira. Her personality is that she is very nice and shy. One way the author describes her is how she looks. She has a twisted leg, which she was born with. Everyone thought that she would never survive her birth, but she did.
The main character of my book is Christopher Columbus. I am currently on page 125 of "The First Americans", by Joy Hakim. From what I've read, Christopher is a stubborn man. For example, he sailed the Atlantic Ocean in belief that the world was round. He was also unfair and enslaved many.

Ben seems like a really nice guy!
Ddaniels4 The movie was awesome, that book sounds good too.
Shoulihan6 Sounds interesting
On Friday I finished my book, Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan. The main character in the book is Kit. She’s very curious and driven. Kit is very determined to figure everything out especially if you’re hiding things from her, she also is not afraid to speak her mind. For example, towards the back of the book on page 164, Kit has been snooping through Madame Durets files, one of her many attempts of trying to find some way to get out of there. When she’s caught doing so she is taken back to Madam Duret, but when Madam Duret says something she doesn’t like, she blows up. ““I don’t have to accept it!” Kit cried defiantly. “None of us do! Jules is taking us out of here!”” This would be the letter ‘s’ in S.T.E.A.L.

Sounds inspiring!

That book is really good!!
My book is flush by Carl Hiaasen and I'm on page 159. The main character is Noah,he is a kid who loves outdoors and cares very much for his family. In the story he would do anything for his family. For an example he would do things that could get him in trouble so he could help his dad. Noah is a smart and brave kid. In the book he tries to stand up to the kids who bully him.
@ddaniels4
I heard that book is really good and I might read it next.
I am reading The Land of Stories the Enchantress Returns by Chris Cofler, I am on page 450. The main character is Alex. Alex is a kind 13 year old girl. In this book she is brave trying to save the world from the Enchantress; this is an example of effect on others. Alex is also very smart she shows this by taking a college class online before the Enchantress tried taking over the world. Alex also very loving, she risks everything she has to save her Grandmother, mother, and stepdad, and brother. So Alex is kind, brave, smart, and loving.
@lrepp4
That sounds interesting.
Noah sounds like a very courageous kid.@jbruce2
The main character of the book Michael Vey by Richard Paul Evens is Michael Vey, its that simple. You could describe Michael as your everyday normal highschooler with shocking powers, literally. He likes waffles and video games, hates homework and gets bullied at school. But Michael is anything but ordinary. (spoiler) He has the power to shock people through direct contact or conduction he can also absorb other electric children's powers. He's normally in a good mood and a social outcast. He is also very stubborn at times. For example on the back of the book it says "My name is Michael Vey and the story I'm about to tell you is strange.Very strange. Its my story."

@DDaniels4 I am reading a book in Mr.Noles class about Steve Jobs and Steve Woz. (woz is his nickname I don't know how to spell his complete last name)
@DBecker
I have always heard that The Giver is a good book.
The main character of my book, Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler which I’ve already finished, is Ivy. She’s a nice girl that has gone through so much. But no matter what, she’s always there for her little brother Phillip and puts everyone before herself. She is also stuck in the past, constantly thinking about Tristan, her boyfriend who died saving her. Ivy used to always believe in angels, so Phillip started believing in them too. But since Tristan died, she refuses to believe in angels anymore. Yelling at Phillip for telling her that they’re still real, being stubborn. For example, when he was telling her that he knows that there’s an angel standing near her angel statues, she throws them in a bag and gives them to him, almost completely broken. Ivy is still nice, it’s just she’s given up on everything.
@DBecker4 Lois Lowery sounds like a cool guy
@esmith5 wow that was really good, great job!
My book has no main character within it. If there is no main character I can't describe their personality or use the STEAL strategy. My book's name is "So Human an Animal". This book is made by Rene Dubos and I am currently on page 128. If I had to describe my book though in one word, I'd say it is enlightening.
@sbell4 Quite an interesting concept, but to that I say, is God dead?
@NHerring4 I guess you could say that that boy is quite SHOCKING...
I finished my book “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins, and the main character, and also a protagonist of this book, is Katniss Everdeen. She is determined, willing, and selfless. The author characterizes her as brave and free-spirited. She is a 17-year-old girl living in very controlled town of District 12 under the rules of the Capitol. She basically doesn’t like the Capitol, and sometimes break the rules. Even though Katniss acts rebellious, she risks herself to save others. The example of STEAL I used is thoughts. On page 267, she thinks to herself, ‘And I owe it to the rebels who, emboldened by Cinna's example, might be fighting to bring down the Capitol at this moment. My refusal to play the Games on the Capitol’s terms is to be my last act of rebellion. So I grit my teeth and will myself to be a player.’ This shows that she tries to act behalf on what she thinks is right even though it means acting against the Capitol. It reveals that even though she is scared, she tries to act strong. And from this, we can know that she is brave and determined.
The book I'm reading is called The Codex by Lev Grossman and I'm on page 193. My main character is Edward Wonzy. He is a Positive banker, compassionate with his clients and he helps his clients out if they need any help. Edward says, " Hey just stay calm and positive, we can walk through the clues slowly and finish the codex." This shows he motivates his clients and stays positive.
One of the main character is The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan is Carter Kane. He is kinda quiet and never outspoken expect when he has something important to say. The author characterizes him as a action person who stands up to evil. They are positive, determined, and very careful about what happens to other people. I'm on page 17.
@esmith5 Your book sounds interesting. And I like how you connect the quote to character's personality!
hkim1 That's nice details and nice STEAL.
@Ipark1 Awesome book and Interesting details.
@nmccleese1 I really liked that book! And I think you did good job on explaining your quote.

I read that book and I liked the part where she took the trackerjacker(wasp) nest and landed it on top of them.

That would be cool to have in reality.
I'm currently reading Alfred Kropp and im on page 105.Alfred Kropp is not really a talkative person he doesn't have a lot of friends because he is always switching school. Alfred also he's not the brightest, he doesn't have good grades he mostly gets F,s and D,s.His affect on others that truly know him is that he is a hero and fights for everyone he cares about. He also is kind of a hero because once his uncle died he searches for his uncles killer while fighting off a lot of bad guys.
lastly he is a giant he's really tall and he is chubby but that doesn't stop him from finding Banaccio.
@gazam5
I was looking at that book but it looked really boring.
@kcox6
I saw the second movie scorch trials last Saturday.
I am currently reading Shades of Earth, the third book of the Across the Universe series by Beth Revis, and I am on page 336. The main character is Elder the leader of the ship. He is very caring about the ship that he leads. According to his speech and sections, he risks his life to go back to Godspeed, the ship, in order to save the remaining people on the ship. For example, “There is nothing else. I’ve only got one shot at this.” Even though if he didn’t make it to the ship before he suffocated, he still had to try.

that book sounds really interesting, i may have to read it my self.
In the book that I just recently finished reading, “Things We Know By Heart” by Jessi Kirby, there are many different sides to the main character, Quinn. One of the most discernible traits in her personality, however, is the fact that she is somewhat close-minded. After her boyfriend, Trent, died in a horrific car crash, Quinn went into a state of depression and became very antisocial due to her grief. However, after almost two years since Trent’s death, Quinn was still disconsolate. When she finally decided to try to find normality in her life again, she was very hesitant to become close to anyone, like when she met Colton. Even though he clearly had feelings for her and a part of her had feelings for him too, Quinn was still not over Trent, and her close-minded personality had an affect on her relationship with Colton. The author shows this character trait through Quinn’s thoughts, actions, and dialogue.
I am currently reading rules by Cynthia Lord and I am currently on page 115. The main character in this book is Catherine she cares about other people before herself. She is always doing things for other people like make new flash card words for her friend and rules for her little brother. The example of STEAL I'm going to use is her effect on others she is always helping other people like I said and is nice so that makes everyone like her she a friendly person. She is very positive but in the book she does have some up and down like getting mad at her mom.

The book i'm reading is Jumper by Steven Gould and I'm on page 40. The main character is Davy, a seventeen year old boy who can teleport. He is very generous, compassionate, and intelligent, and he is brave when he needs to be. However, he is not very tough or aggressive. When Davy finds out he can teleport, he uses his power to bring a blanket to a homeless man on a park bench. This shows that he is compassionate and generous because of his actions.

The book that I am reading is Warriors Into the Wild by Erin Hunter and I am on page 165. The main character in the book is Firepaw. His old name was Rusty because his human owners named him that. He joined a clan of cats and is usually made fun of for being a kittypet which is being owned by humans. When he gets teased like this he gets very annoyed. An example of this would be when he got accepted into the clan and some cat called Rusty out and Rusty got into a fight with him and scarred his ear and this is when he was named Firepaw.
@ale2 You have a good book.
@snolen6 That sounds like a good book.
I’m reading Enders Game by Orson Scott Card and I am on page 136. The main character is Ender Wiggin. He is super erudite and he always thinks his way through things. He is nice but knows not to get too close to people. He a positive leader. I can tell because whenever he walks into a room everyone gets quiet and is ready to listen to him. He is very positive but can change into an entirely different person when forced to.
@hhershkowits1 , your book sounds really good.
