Week 4 readers response

After analyzing your main character in a closer manner, you should now be able to compare and contrast that character with the main character from the class read. In an H-chart or in paragraph form, compare and contrast these two characters. Determine which one you identify the most with and why.

     In the book The Wave, main character Ben is a man. He is a history teacher at a high school. He is known to be inspiring, influential, reflective, cares about others, strict, interactive, risk taker, inquirer, knowledgeable, balanced, and is a self-centered husband who is narrow minded in focus. His wife is a music teacher.

  Comparison: I noticed as I was reading my book that Ben and Calder have little in common. But he things that they do have in common are pretty cool. I believe that if these two were two become friends it would be hard to believe because that would have little to talk about unless all they talked about was history.Both love history. Both oped minded.

In the book The Wright 3 Calder (one of the main character's) is 12 years old and in sixth grade as. Calder has brown hair that sticks straight up. Calder is the kind of person who loves to solve mystery's with his friends. He is very energetic and open with his thinking. Calder seems to be a very good person. He pays attention in class. Doesn't talk back, and he listens to what the teacher has to say. Calder also shows very good behavior. Calder also loves history class.

I think that I relate more to Calder because I'm in middle school along with him at this point in time and I'm a very energetic person too. I've noticed that we do have several things in common such as I love history and he loves history. When I was little I had brown hair just like Calder, in fact my original hair color is brown. Calder reminds me of a younger me when I would sit with my friends and we would make up little mysteries and solve them together it was so fun. The only thing me and Calder do not have in common is the fact that his hair sticks straight up into the air, he doesn't talk back, and he pays attention in class all the time. I mean I do pay attention in class, but not all the time. It's just that sometimes things get boring.
