You must use at LEAST 2 quotes from the book.
Understanding your character is a good way for you to really get into your book and see from another person's perspective. In your response this week, describe your character. Think about and discuss:
-1. your main character's personality
- 2. how they act/behave
- 3. what they look like
- 4. how old they are
- 5 what sort of education do you think that they have
- 6 who their friends and family are
- 7 what their financial (money) situation is
- 8 and what their job is (if they have one).
Located on page 7 in my book it says that Calder is 12 years old. He goes to school with his two other friends Petra and Tommy. Calder goes to school at "University School." His mom seems to have a steady job that provides a good amount of money to live on. Calder's Job in the book is school, and his investigation's that he loves to do. Calder would investigate several things. Like in the book he investigated and solved the puzzle of who stole the art painting. He had help from Petra.
The second, main character in my book is Petra. Petra Is a very confident and focused girl as described on page 21. Petra's behavior in the book is as normal as any other teenage girl. She has crushes and then she doesn't like them anymore. She also is very focused when it comes to working on a case. This shows that she has self respect. She has dark, out of control curly hair, and thick glasses. She is petite and is always holding a book (found on page 6).
Petra is the same age as Calder, she is 12 and goes to University School. Petra is in the sixth grade. Petra lives's with her parents and four younger siblings. Her friends are Calder and Tommy as I know of for now.From the looks of it on page 14 her mother and father are both in the middle of wealthy. Meaning that have enough money to live on. Petra's jobs are to do common chore's around the house, go to school, and help with the investigations along with Calder and soon Tommy.
Tommy seems to be a very energetic, full of life young man. He shows this on page 3 in the book. Tommy shows a little bit of jealousy because of the fact that Calder had made a new friend (petra) while he had been gone for a year. Tommy, is the shortest of the three (him, Petra, and Calder). He has short, black hair and dark brown eyes. 
Calder (one of the main character's) is 12 years old and in sixth grade as it says on page 7. He has brown hair that sticks straight up. From reading my book, I had started to figure out what Calder had then looked like. In the book on page 17 it says that " Calder was a boy with brown hair that sticks straight up in the air." Calder is the kind of person who loves to solve mystery's with his friends. He seems in the book that he is very energetic and open with his thinking. In the book Calder (on page 10) seems to be a very good person. He pays attention in class. Does not talk back, and he listens to what the teacher has to say. He shows very good behavior to me in the book.

Tommy, just like Petra and Calder, is 12, in sixth grade, and goes to University school. Tommy is friends with Calder and Petra. Him mother is Zelda Segovia. Zelda works for the library close to there house. From the looks of it money is fine in this family/book. Well for now at that. Tommy also, has the same jobs as Petra, he does common chore's around the house, goes to school, and instigates crimes/puzzles with his two best friends!!!

Lizzy,
ReplyDeleteThis is very good. I like how you go and describe each character since they are all main characters. How could you have provided more evidence from your book instead of just putting the page number where the information can be found? Also, how would your response have looked if you had made sure to check your usage and mechanics before you posted and published?
