Get inside your protagonist’s
skin and write both your post and response in his or her voice (1st
person).
- Post = Show your understanding of indirect characterization by describing an event or relationship in a way that reveals your character’s personality through speech, thought, actions, appearance, or effect on others. Within the same post, show your understanding of direct characterization by specifically describing (and naming) your novel’s antagonist. Focus on the characters, not the plot!
- Response = React to another character’s (classmate’s) post in your own character’s voice by comparing or contrasting an experience or feeling they have with your own experiences or feelings. Be specific and provide details. Depending on the type of person your character is, you may side with the other post’s protagonist or antagonist.
Don’t forget to
sign your character’s name and book title to your post and response.
Honest to God, Lennie an’ me ain’t never gonna be able to settle down if he don’t learn to keep his gosh darn paws off other people’s stuff. They don’t git Lennie’s jes a big lug with a big heart. Everybody else jes cares bout themselves and their own needs. Sometimes I wonder what that’d be like … I jes gotta keep Lenny outta Curley’s sight. That little punk’s got it out for Lennie.
ReplyDelete- George, Of Mice and Men
Look here, George. You’re a nice fella, but you know what you gotta do. Lennie’s jes like a kid and don’t fit into this man’s world. You’ve spent your life lookin’ out fer him, but you’re always gonna be runnin’ to keep one step ahead of trouble. I can tell you from experience that this here ranch is a place where you can make a good name for yourself, make good money, and let loose in town on a Saturday night without any worries. You ain’t gettin’ any younger, George.

Oh my god Lucy is acting crazy she is seeing thing in this spire. I am worried about Lucy because she is going mad. I am trying to help Lucy alot but she is scarying me to much for me to try.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to put the book tittle and what character you where in your paragraph. How crazy is lucy acting?
DeleteIts so hard right now. I dont know whether I should help Russ or not. It's basketball season and thats all I need to focus on, but all I can think about is Erin. I wonder if it's over for good. Or maybe we might date again after the season ends...
ReplyDeleteYou think you have it rough.
DeleteI'm on the run from people who want to kill me
-John Smith
Well just rember ever thing happens for a reason. It will all work out in the end. Just do the best you can during your baskeball season.
DeleteIt will get easier as it goes. Just focus on what is best for you. I mean i cant even talk or move by myself but it always gets better.

I'm on the run from the law, about to go into a heavily armed base filled with people who want to kill me, not to mention the base is in a giant mountain thats very dark inside and I'm trying ti find my chest which is about the same size as normal sized pillow. How can it get any worse, at least I have Sam and Bernie with me. I wish Six was here to help, and Sarah didn't betray me.

DeleteThe young boy shocked out of his mind, knowing that hes going to have to leave his family he grew up with. The cheif was trying to get the white man to let his prized white son stay in the village with the tribe.

Don't worry eventually my people and I will rid your planet of the Mogs and everyone will be happy again
DeleteI've finally entered the eruidite headquarters along with Christina, Marcus, Cara, and Fernando who sadly didn't make it. The rest of us made it across the gap just fine. Christina, my best friend, has been on my back about my apptitude. She still doesnt fully understand about my Divergency.

I saw jackson today. He actually smiled at me. I miss seeing that smile and those perfect teeth. Everything about him is perfect. So why would someone so perfect, want someone who isnt, like me. Why cant i be perfect?
ReplyDelete- Ever
Jackson sounds really cute and sweet, but Ever seems like she has a little bit of a self- esteem issue. Maybe things will change throughout the book, you never know.
DeleteEveryone is perfect in there own way. You just have to tell yourself that you are perfect
DeleteOh my god, why do I always have to help people. I had to take my morning making a powerpoint for the foreign exchange student ,she always needs help with school work. Gobi, the foreign exchange student, is always so needy she always needs help with everything.

Hardin is at it again. He's always so back and forth about what he wants and who he is trying to be. It's so frustrating how mentally and emotionally challenging he
ReplyDelete-Tessa young, After
I hate being stuck in this wheel chair! I cant even express how much I do not like it because I cant even talk. people think I am just a vegetable. My dad always tells the story about how the doctors said i would not make it far in school or anything in life.
ReplyDelete-Shawn, Stuck in Nuetral
Peter is with another group, and they are searching for me. if they find me I'm probably gonna climb a tree. I don't think they can climb Trees as well as me. all I can hope for is them not finding me and a present from my sponsors.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling when you don't want someone near you. I know because I always get pushed around by the people that hurt me most, even my former friends.
DeleteWhy do I have to marry my uncle, my uncle! I just want to prophet for making me marry him. I just want to go to my tree and read all the books that I want to read and see Joshua. To make everything worst my mother is pregnant and is in really bad pain, so I have to take care of all the kids.
ReplyDeleteThe people in my school are ignoring me because I ruined the back to school party. I was there and having fun, so why would I call the police, you ask? I had a very horrible experience there that scarred me for life. Maybe I should tell them the real reason why.
ReplyDelete-Melinda, Speak
Sounds like you had it rough. Well you're not the only one. You must have had a reason to call the police so I'm here to help if you want.
DeleteWow, you sound like a huge buzz kill just hold in your feelings and thoughts. If you don't want to do that just leave and don't think about it, just under all circumstances don't do something to others that would put them in the situation i am in.
DeleteImso busy with trying to get into a good college i dont have time to party. I have to make sure all my grades are perfect sometimes its extremely stressful
DeleteSo heaven isn't exactly what i thought it would be, there are school grounds, soccer fields, and swingsets. But i made a new friend her name is Holly she's kinda showing me around this so called heaven. Shes really nice she's from China! I just hope my parents arent too sad about me being here, and i hope to god that my sister will be alright.

DeleteWell at least you have someone to talk to and to relate to. I hope heaven gets better for you girl! Keep your head up !
DeleteCouldn't sleep again tonight, so I went over to Anna's house, which isn't so smart. Surprisingly we have a normal conversation for the first time. I gave up on trying to kill her for now because she's still too strong for me. After seeing someone being ripped in half by her I glad I'm still alive.
ReplyDeleteThree days in Im still not use to heavan its not like I thought it would be like at all. Holly said it's kinda just been this way. Thank God Holly is here she's really the only friend I have up here she's really nice she said shes from china I still don't really know her story but all i care is that she's nice.
ReplyDeletePresident Coin thinks I'm her little minion. She thinks my only purpose is to act as a symbol for he rebellion, and that's far from what I am. I'm here to protect my friends and family, not do her bidding.
ReplyDelete-Katniss Everdeen, Mockingjay
I swear we're never going to make it out of this maze alive. Why did I ever want to become a Runner in the first place? Something tells me I need to keep going though. All I can think about how when I get back, if I get back to the Glade, Gally will just despise me even more! What a shuck face! He always makes fun of me and I don't even know what I did. I don't even know why I'm here in the first place
ReplyDeleteI have to go on this stupid vacation with just me and my dad because he says that we don't spend enough time together.I personally think that we should spend less time together.I am a great golfer and love to golf ,but i have to golf with my dad.So far all that has happened is he has screwed up all his plans because he think that website names are the store we had to have a huge scavenger hut for the rental car place and hotel.
ReplyDeleteIm so nervus about being the new member of a perfect California football team. I know i have the arm talent but im too scared to take a hit. But its weird,this 50year old man i keep running into at the park has been playing tackle football with me. Its weird cause now im getting use to the contact. But why does a 50 year old want to play football everyday with a junior in high school.
ReplyDeleteWell as long as he wasnt in jail its all good
DeleteAs long as im not locked up no more , it dont matter nothin compares to that
ReplyDeleteHe was all sweaty and gross, his hair was a matted together. Compared to me he was a giant, one who smelled corn meal and spoiled milk. At this moment I began to think to myself, that maybe this stranger is the best friend I never had considering no one here cares about me or even knows my name. I want to leave, but there is no way of escape.
ReplyDeleteLakshmi- Sold
Wow your sitution is way worse than mine but Im trapped in my own body, im really overweight and everyone makes fun of me. I only have one friend. i hope everything turns out okay and youll be able to esape.
