When mrs jones crabbed rojer by the neck i felt sorry for him. I think he was really scared.i thought that mrs jones would end up being mean,butnow i figured out that mrs jones is a nice careing person and that she wants to help roger. Bobby Drexel
ReplyDeleteThere was a moment in my book when my protagonist, Meggie, looked into the cave where her parents were supposed to be and it was empty and there were dead bodies and blood-stained straw. Meggie was really afraid and upset. To me that was devastating to happen to her. I felt horrible. I felt this way because if I thought I lost someone I loved I would have felt the same way. If I were there I would have tried to make her feel better. This influenced my reading by making me think of what happened when ever Meggie sees, feels, hears or thinks of something.

In my book i developed feelings for Luke because when Percy was about to kill him he fought Kronos and was able to kill himself to kill Kronos. In those few moments i felt bad for him because he was stuck inside and scared for his life. It inflenced my reading because it showed me that each character, no matter how tough they look, they all have a soft side.
ReplyDeleteWell my character,she is living in the Holocaust and i feel really bad for her.She is seeing all of her friends die,family die all because she is jewish. It is so horrible that she has to go through with all of that and i feel really sorry.I know if i was in that situation i would hate my life.Honestly,I could not live with it.-Jasmine Michels
ReplyDeleteI am reading this book called "Kickoff!" In the story my character Tiki and Ronde Baraber was going to football tryouts and they were nervous because they didn't know wether if they made the team or not. I had the same feeling when I went to baseball tryouts and I was also nervous and didn't know if I made the team. -Daren
ReplyDeleteThe book that I was in was Sharkboy and Lavagirl return to Planet Drool. I felt bad for both Sharkboy and Lavagirl because Sharkboy couldn't go by fire so he would be cold. Lavagirl can't go by water or her fire will go out and lose her life. This book influenced me by learning that nothing can't stop your dreams.
ReplyDeleteI developed empathy when I was reading a book called small steps, when I heard why Armpit (the character) went to a J.V camp, only because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It make me have empathy because he didn't really do anything, and he still had to go to a J.V camp, which is a moment in the book that I had strong empathy for that character. It influenced me in my reading cause it showed me what this character had to go through even though he didn't do anything, but he still got in trouble. It also got me prepcetion cause I knew he might not be hanging around with the right kids, and that might come up in the story thst he isn't hanging around with the right people.
ReplyDeleteA moment in my book when I felt a feeling for a character, was when Grace had woken up from a thunder storm and hadn't scared.She had been captured by the beautiful lightning show it had cast over the sea. The reason I had developed a feeling for this situation and character was because I tend to do the exact same thing when theres a storm and I end up staying awake late.Not only that but Grace is really intelligent and I admire her courage because most girls would've been scared or annoyed by a storm.
ReplyDeleteIt had influenced my perspective on her greatly and now I don't think she's a braniac with out guts anymore. It also makes me want to read on and find out what'll happen next becaus it'll probably have something to do with testing her courage.
PEACE,

P.S- Im reading Vampirates, for all those who wanted to know:)
The time that I felt empathy for a character was when in the book Robots of Dawn, Baley had to leave Earth to go to a different planet. On this planet, Baley had to fight to get the freedom planet Earth is entitled to. He had to leave his wife and children and try to do the impossible. Earth was relying on him. I feel empathy for him because when I have to leave for sports camp for just one week, I miss my family. Baley was leaving for about a month. I also get nervous during a sports game because I feel like the whole team is depending on me to play well. Baley is in a situation where the whole planet is counting on him. His situation is much more stressful than anything that I've experienced. I have empathy for him because I can picture what he is going through.
ReplyDeleteThis influenced my perception of the book because now I feel bad for Baley and want him to succeed in his task. Whenever Baley succeeds, I feel the excitement and want to cheer along. Whenever Baley is failing, my heart breaks for him and I want the book to give him a way to succeed.
Empathy allows the reader to become truly connected to a character and encourages the reader to continue reading to find out what happens.
The book that I'm reading is In the cards: Love.
ReplyDeleteThe main character is Anna and she likes this guy in her school name Declan. The problem is that she's not his type so Anna is trying to change her looks and her personality to make him like her.
I feel bad for Anna because she's trying to be something that she's not and she's out of her comfort zone. I think she shouldn't be a different Anna just to make a guy like her because she's not going to feel comfortable being this new person.
In my book the main character is Cammie, Cammie goes to a school which the teachers call a school for exeptional young women, but really it's a school for spies. Cammie loves to solve CIA codes and do math problems most people don't see until their in college but she also wants some things in her life to be normal. So far I like this book because it has problems that could really happen along with the problems that won't happen.
ReplyDeletethe empathy in my (old) book is that tito has a chice to make he could either take the money and give it to jimmy's gang or take it and his family and go some where far enough to be safe
ReplyDeleteIn the book "Thank you Ma'am" i feel empathy for both of the characters, like the i feel bad for the lady because the boy was trying to steal from her. But i also feel empathy for the boy because now the lady is not letting him go and if i was the boy i would get annoyed with being held back and not aloud to leave...

MATT--
ReplyDeleteI am also reading that series I love it. Im reading the 3rd book titans curse right now percy annnabeth percy and grover are in a boarding school and there trying to get two half bloods to half -blood hill
I think my book is interesting it shows a lot of feeling it is about a woman who gets murdered and her daughter has to find the killer befor the killer finds her.
ReplyDeleteDaren i understand what the book is saying and what you are saying because i had the same feeling when i tryed out for soccer.I had the butterflies,and i felt like i was going to throwup.Everyone has the same feeling at least once in their life.
ReplyDeletei felt bad for roger when he was like are you going to take me to jail and the lady was like i am not taking you NO where withyour face like that and at piont roger proly new not to mess with her i think she speaks whats on her mind.the lady proly didnt mean for it to come out like that but he proly really mad her mad.she proly said to her self why would a little young boy like that would do somthing like that to a old lady like her self.
ReplyDeletebobby i felt bad for him to because people was stopping by and looking at tha little boy getting himed up like he did.but at tha same time time was a little funny.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Noah, i would feel empathy for Baley as well because ive also been in situations like that. In soccer games i play i always feel like the team is depending on me to pull through and try the best i can and i hate all the stress. Although ive never been away from my family i can see how that would affect a person.
ReplyDeleteIn my book (that I read over the summer) this girl her dad had cancer and she was always mean to people; So when this girl threw this party for her friends from the summer she was invited, and at first no one wanted her there then they found out her dad had cancer, and they wanted to show her they cared about her.
ReplyDeleteI think I developed empathy for the girl when I found out her dad had cancer.The situation she is must be hard, always worring about her dad. This influenced my reading by making me think twice about how the antagonist acts.
I felt Emapthy for the main character Em in the book i just finished. She had an accident when well she technically died. At the same moment and same place a supermodel Nikki Howard colapsed from exhuastion and a diese. To kepp em living she had a brain transplant. Now she was a wake and inside Nikki Howards Body. I felt really bad For Em because even though they saved her she had to live Nikki Howards life. I devolped this weird feeling like ohmygosh what is she going to do and how, and i feel so bad and excited at the same time.The only peple who knew about the top secret surgery were nikki Howards boss,Em's doctor, and Ems parents and sister. She couldn't be Em Watts ever again!

I agree with veritta, but I would have different thoughts about that cause I would have empathy for Ann cause she's going to do anything for this guy, even change everything about her. But i would also feel sorry for her cause changing yourself from everthing you do is really hard. I would like this book cause I would think that later she's gonna realize that thiers always someone out their for you, and you shouldn't have to change yourself to be with some one. Varitta can you tell me the title of that book, cause it sounds good. If anyone has a #1 book they like the most tell me the title and why it's good.THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteIn the book I am currently reading, a girl named Alison died. I felt really bad for her especially her friends. Because they would always look up to her. That part of the book influenced the reading because Alison was a great person/friend! Everytime her friends would tell Alison their secrets, she promised "never to tell a soul." So she never did. To me, Alison is a great friend and a good "role-model".
ReplyDelete- Dorothy :)
Jasmine--
ReplyDeleteI would feel really bad also. I also read a book about the holocaust and I had a similar felling watching the characters friends and family sick and unhappy. I would have hated to be in that situation.
~Michaela Sawaya
In "Thank you Ma'm" I felt empathy for ms jones the most because she was just walking alone in the middle of the night and some guy just ran over and tride to steal her purse I feel sad for Rodger to though because he got stuck with some lady draging him by his neck down the streat. I feel empathy for ms jones and Rodger.
ReplyDelete- Mychala Conti :)
In my book, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I feel a little bit sorry for my character Arthur. He has just been imformed that his house is to be demolished even though he has had no notice. This is sad because he has to lie down in the mud in front of the house so the bulldozer wont tear it down. Even though he does this I think it will still get torn down. I can't wait to find out what happens next and i really want to know whats up with this new character named Ford Prefect.

ReplyDeleteI understand how you can feel empathy for your character. The holocaust was a very sad period in history. I think it was wrong for the Nazi's to do this also. Jewish people are just like every one else even if they beleive in something else. I think they shouldn't have been murdered for their beliefs.
- Jeremy B
i lve my book series its about a boy named percy who is a half-blood and the son of posiden. he goes on long dangerous quests to either save the world or half-blood hill. i love this story because it has alot of action. i love action. i hope this gives m an a ms.sills.
ReplyDeleteMichaela Sawaya- If I was in that cave I would be terrified too! I would also be upset. I would be confused and wouldn't know what to do! =(
ReplyDeleteI agree with payton because i would also be annoyed about not being able to leave. When she let him go in her house I think he didnt leave because he had no where else to go and figured at least shes giving me food and letting me wash my face , instead of me going home and having no where to go and be starvig.
ReplyDeleteIn my book " cross my heart and hope to spy" i have empathy for the mom because she is being spied on by her own daughter right underneath her own nose and doesn't even know it, when the whole time the daughter was spying on her the case, black thorn, was really the name of a all boys school.I am also kinda angry at the daughter because if it was something wouldn't you trust your mom to tell you or wouldn't you just ask her to know what it is. It made me mad that she didn't trust her mom and spied on her.
ReplyDeleteHey, Ashley! I'm reading Vampirates, too! Don't you feel bad for Grace and Connor? I mean, their father DIES. I can relate to that since my mother died.
ReplyDelete-Emily Green
when I was reading a book Called Elephant Run the Jappanese took over Burmua and and I felt that the main character Nick Freestone should have surrenderd with his father then trying to get his father out of the pow camp he ended up getting capptured him self but i feel bad for him he was trying to rescue his father.
ReplyDeleteNicholas Mikelinich
hey Noah that sounds like a book that i really would like to read and i feel the same way in a game to when you have the chance to be able to score and it feels like the whole team is depending on you.
ReplyDeleteNicholas Mikelinich
In the short story "Thank you ma'm" by Langston Hughes I felt bad for Rojer that he learned his lesson in a bad way but I felt goood for him because he deserved his lesson. I think that Rojer was happy what with he did because he got ten bucks and he got some thing to eat.
ReplyDelete-TeAndra Jenkins
Varitta, I totally agree with you! Its not right if you have to change the way you are for just some dude, there are others who'll accept you for who you are. Anna should've figurd that out a long time ago, and I bet Declan will probably like her true character when she gives up on him towards the end of the book. Im just predicting though because that might be the moral of the story, or not.
ReplyDeletePEACE,
-Ashley
I felt empathy for Peter Solomon in my book The Lost Symbol. During the story, Peter was kidnapped by Mal'akh, the antagonist, and was held hostage for a while. Mal'akh then cut off Peter's hand and tattoed a clue into it for Dr.Langdon (the protagonist and Peter's old friend) to find! I could never imagine what Peter is going through; it must be so horrible. He had a really fortunate life before this most unfortunate event. I feel terrible for Peter.
ReplyDeleteThis event makes me feel that this book is rather dark and disturbing. It also makes me very intrigued, wanting to know more about Peter's bizarre situation, and how he may ever possibly escape it. Either way, his life will never be the same. It's a truly thrilling read.
Daren, I can understand why you have empathy for Tiki. You were in a similar situation, so you were able to put yourself in the character's shoes. I can also connect with Tiki because I get nervous before tryouts. I think this is a natural emotion that all athletes experience when they want to prove themselves and do well. You must be enjoying this book because when you are able to empathize with a character it makes the book that much more interesting to read.
ReplyDeletethe time I developed empathy for a character was when I was reading this book called "buttermilk fields" and her mom and dad got divorced and her dad moved far away and then meet another women with two sons and over heard him talking about how he always wanted sons. I felt bad for her because its like saying sorry but I found another children
ReplyDeleteJulia spanburgh
Bobby, I also felt empathy for Roger, but for a different reason. The time I felt the most grief for him was when he explained to Mrs.Jones that he had nobody to go home to. One could possibly infer that the boy was an orphan. This makes me realize how fortunate we are to have parents to help us and to look after us.
ReplyDeleteThe time I most recently felt empathy for a character in a book was in the book "Born to Rock." The main character, Leo's Harvard scholarship was cancelled because he was accused of helping another student on a major test. Leo didn't do anything wrong, and the other student did, but because he was stressed, he defended the other student but something bad happened to him.
ReplyDeleteI feel empathy for Leo because I know that I'd feel terrible after I'd been accused of something that I know I didn't do. I can relate because like Leo, I do badly in high pressure situations and sometimes don't think straight.
This influenced my perception of the book because I feel awful that this happened to Leo and now want good things to happen to him. I want him so get his scholarship back because he deserves it.
I agree with bobby because at first I did think that mrs. Jones was really mean but during the end of the story, she actually gave him the 10 dollars for his blue swade shoes that he wanted and she let him go.
ReplyDelete-payton.
a moment when i felt for roger is when i found out how poor and dirty he was. also when she grabbed him by the neck he must of felt scared she would get the cops on him and he would gett arrested
ReplyDeletein my book wanted i have empathy for the girl alice because her own mother belives that she could be capable of murdering her own father and then sending an email confessing that she killed him. i also have empathy for her mom because i know how i would feel if i got an email from my own daughter connfessing she killed her dad. i also feel sad for alice's dad he knew he was going to get killed because of his tape TWIN. and he made alice leave so she wouldnt be there.
ReplyDeleteAmy--
ReplyDeleteI also feel empathy for Leo because that's something he worked hard for and it was taken from him, totally unfair! I agree that he deserves it back.
Victoria--
That book sounds really scary. I would feel horrible for that person if she had to live a whole different life.
~Michaela Sawaya
i agree with paytons i also thought she was mean in the begiining but buy the end sge gave him the ten dollars for the blue swade shoes and made him wash up and gave him dinner i think she was acting like it was her own because she didnt have kids and she wanted to teach him the right thing
ReplyDeleteIn my book 'Who killed my daughter' i think devoloped empathy for my character, Lois (who is also the author and this is a event that really happened in her life) because she is the type of mother/woman that is very protective of her kids and knows whats best for them and when her daughter, Kaitlyn, gets shot in the head by a nutjob, i felt like i wanted to cry for her. Knowing that this charater is so loving and protective... and then to have he daughter getting shot in the head!,.... it felt so bad for this poor woman. In the book she even kept on repeating please dear God (in her prayers) dont let it be a head injuring. Please dont let it be a head injury and then for her to find out that she was shot in the head and my be in acoma for the rest of her life it made me feel so bad for this charcter.
ReplyDeleteWhile reading the book 'The Hunger Games' I felt sad for the character Peeta because he had been slashed in his leg and was bleeding very badly. I felt bad because he was participating in The Hunger Games where the kids have to try to kill each other and this injury made him weak. He had helped the main character, Katniss, survive so I felt like he didn't really deserve the injury he had, and that's why I felt bad and wanted him to recover. This influenced my reading because at first I wanted Katniss to win The Games, but after developing empathy for Peeta, I really wanted both of them to win and stay healthy, and I was always afraid that Peeta was dead, and Katniss would see his picture in the sky which would symbolize his death.
ReplyDeleteTodd - I agree with you; Roger is this dirty child living all by himself, and now he has this lady grabbing him by his shirt! I agree that he must've felt scared about being arrested, because I would too! But I think he also deserved it a little bit, because stealing isn't the answer.
ReplyDeleteIn my book "Glass" the main charater Kristina has a baby. She doesn't take care of it, so her mom kicks her out of the house and makes her go live on her own. She goes to jail from stealing & drugs from in her car. Out of all the things she did I dont feel bad for her at all. She did all those things to her self and now gets what she deserves.
ReplyDeleteI feel empathy for my main characters in my book (A Series of Unfortunate Events #3). Klaus, Violet And Sunny keep moving around from relative to relative because Count Olaf keeps killing there guardians and trying to get a hold of there fortune. I feel empathy for them because i would probably be really scared if someone was trying to steal my fortune, there more calmer than i would of been.
ReplyDelete- Nicholas Duarte
I forgot to write how it influenced my reading. So.. This influenced my perception of the book because now I feel bad for Klaus, Violet and Sunny because everything has been horrible for them and i hope that Count Olaf dies so they dont have to worry about him killing there guardians or stealing there fortune
ReplyDelete- Nicholas Duarte
I developed impathy for the character Lucy in the book i am reading now " The Fire Within" when Lucy's favorite squirrel. I felt bad for Lucy because what she considered her bestfriend died. Then the only thing that she had left was her clay dragons.
ReplyDelete-Nicky H.-
Hey Jeremy i can feel why you have empathy for your charecter i your book. The fact that his house is going to get demolished without notifying him. But i dissagre with what you said about them going to tear it down even if he waits infront of it. I think they wont tear it down because they will relize that he doesnt want them to do it
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bobby because at first i thought Mrs.Jones was gonna like bring the boy home and call the police but all she really did was basically care for him and make sure he doesnt try stealing stop from other people because Ms.Jonas can relate to him.
ReplyDelete- Nicholas Duarte
i started not feeling bad for roger then at the end he seemed to be serious about being sorry i thought he was trying to guilt mrs bates into letting him go with the whole sob story but i guess not well roger should have never did what he did i found it dumb and imature who wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteIn my book i had a good for my charecter winne she has a very strong imaginary for a 17 year old
ReplyDelete-David tapley
Varrita I agree on the text you gave me on your book and how your relating to that text. I would feel the same way. Shes acting something thats shes not.
ReplyDelete-TeAndra Jenkins
i agree with you but mrs. bates was kinda right i mean he di try to rob her for some sneakers he wanted. i think she could have lightened up on him though when he said sorry dont you agree?
ReplyDeleteTeAndra- I felt bad for roger to because she grabed him by his neck and draged him down the road.
ReplyDeleteDavid tapley
When Mrs.Jones closed the door it was sad because well he didnt get to say thanks . And i hoped they would been good friends or maybe adopt him cause her tone kinda acted like she wanted to adopt him or maybe i got it wrong . But it was So Sad
ReplyDeleteAshley i agreed with you about how intelligent Grace She's a strong girl.For me, I would have been really scared if there was ever a thunder storm.
ReplyDeleteSamantha the book title is called In the cards:Love. The book is really amazing, i think you'll like it.
Hey Emily You Still Reading That would you recommend that to readers cause it seems interesting . So Would You ????!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Todd because were roger said 'no one is home at his house' I felt really sad and felt as if he felt sad talking about it.
ReplyDeleteIn my book Cammie is frustrated, she's upset that she didn't successfully complete her mission. Cammie thinks that Zach out-smarted her and that he's better. I think that Cammie should just forget the mission because Zach had a huge advantage.
ReplyDeleteThe book i'm reading is "Uglies." It's about best friends wanting to be the prettiest girls in Uglyville. One of the girls will do just about anything to improve her appearance including plastic surgery. Tally has scheduled plastic surgery to make improvements to her face. Tally's best friend Shay keeps telling her that she doesn't need surgery. I have mixed feelings about the situation. I feel bad for Tally that she is so down on herself and feels that she needs surgery to look better but at the same time I don't feel bad because it's her life and if that's what she wants to do than she can.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I'm reading the same book. I do kind of feel like Cammie is betraying her mom but since Cammie's mom never really tells her about the things going on I'm sure she expected it. I would've expected for a lot of the girls to use Cammie for information about whats going on but Cammie has nice friends and no one really tries hard to get information out of Cammie.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "Mickey And Me " the main character named Joe is going through some rough times. In the beggining of the book my empaty for Joe was sorry.I felt sorry for joe because his dad had just been in a car crash and was in critical condition at the hospital ,despite the fact that his parents were divorced.His dad was paralized from the neck down.I think that if that where me my life would be ruined . After this Joey still tried to be normal and do thing he loved best to play baseball. I felt that Joey Was a very strong person , not only from the outside but in the inside as well.
ReplyDeleteTodd i also felt bad for roger when it said that he was poor and dirty. I think that roger was abondoned or maybe his parent where in jail because thye also did bad stuff. I think that Roger started to do bad stuff because he might of saw his parents and thaught that it was the right thing to do when it really wasnt.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for roger when mrs. jones dragged him down the road because he must of been really scared, but i didnt feel bad for him, because he tryed to steal from mrs.jones!!! =O
ReplyDeletein one of my most resent books,( THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE) i felt really bad for anita because her parents didnt let her do anything but than she did them anyway so... yeahh
ReplyDeleteSarah i feel anger at her to because if you have something to say someone you should ask them not spy. do you know why she was spying?
ReplyDeletejulia spanburgh
I started developing a feeling for the character in my book which is acually 3 kids, violet, klaus, and sunny, when there new guardian tried to kill them so he could get there fortion after there parents died.
ReplyDeleteI agree with bobby, at first I thought that Mrs. Jones was mean and evil, but as the story went on i realized that she was just doing that for Rogers own benefit, and that she is really nice and caring.
ReplyDeleteI felt empathy for roger is when Mrs. Jones dragged roger by the neck done the street.
ReplyDeleteIn my book " My Sisters Keeper" Anna is the main character. Her brother is an alcoholic, her sister is dying from leukemia, and she is suing her parents for the rights to her own body. I feel empathy for Anna because she has had a rough life ever since she was born. She was born to be an organ donor for her sister. She practically lives in the hospital and when she is not there she is in her dads firehouse or her lawyers office. She never has a chance to be home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah because in the very beginning of the book, I thought that Ms. Jones was really cruel.You had no idea what was going to happen to Roger but then Ms. Jones ended up being very kind and motherly. She let Roger get those blue suede shoes that he wanted. But I don't think the shoes were all that important in the book. What I do think is important is that Roger didn't have anyone to take care of him. Now he knows what it feels like to be loved.
ReplyDeleteA time that i felt empathy was when i read the time travelers wife. Because Henry time travels and Clare is always always left behind. It's sad to love someone so much and yet never see them.but they have the chance to see you so much.
ReplyDeleteBobby how could you not see that Ms.Luella was a woman with a rough exterior? All she wanted was to teach him a lesson so that he would become a better person.
While listening to the story, I always felt bad for Roger. I did because he had no one to care for him. Also, I think that when Mrs. Jones tried to help Roger, he felt really good inside. When Mrs. Jones taught him right from wrong, I felt really happy for him.
ReplyDeleteThis empathy infuenced my perception of the book because it showed how the characters were thinking and feeling. Also, it helped me while I was working in my Writer's Response.
ReplyDeleteI developed a negative feeling for Mrs.Jones because in the beginning she seemed really mean! I felt that way because she was kind of abusing Roger. From then on I thought the book was going to be horrible because I thought it was going to be about Mrs.Jones being mean to oger. But it wasn't it was a very good book.
ReplyDeleteI also felt empathy for Roger to Karli when Mrs.Jones was dragging him by the neck. But I also felt empathy when Mrs.Jones was mean in the beginning but it was a negative feeling.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class, we're talking about empathizing with your character, which simply means to develop a feeling about the character and/or the situation she or he is in. The feeling can be negative or positive.
ReplyDeleteFor this response, please describe in detail a moment when you developed a feeling for the character and/or the situation and why.
I feel bad for Crystal and Jake because Lynne was always flirting with Scott(Crystals new neighbor) everytime she got even around Crystal,both girls and Crystal's sister Melinda liked Scott,they werent the only ones... pretty much every girl at Shadyside wants to go out with Scott.Jake(Scott's new friend and Crystal and Lynne's best friend for a long time) has a HUGE crush on Lynne and he told Crystal and then she told Lynne that he has a crush on and she STILL flirted with Scott with Jake around;but Scott doesnt like girls that wear alot of purfume and make-up(bad girls)so she got so mad that he... KILLED her! :o,he killed his girlfriend back at where he lived but he didnt mean it...I tink Scott needs help. It influenced me to keep on reading I never wanted to stop,R.L. Stine makes VERY VERY descripted books,everybook that I read by him I never wanted to put it down.
Sarah Grassi,
Even though I never read your book,it sounds intense...I understand how their new gaurdian wanted to kill them but who is sick like that...? Well its kind of like my book,Scott killed Lynne because he didnt like how she acted like...like a wild person,when she kissed him he wanted to strangle her but he didnt,he described how it felt...but not in a good way.He described it like something slimy on his face he washed his face with hot water.Ouch...
-Nicole Pieta
Michelle I agree with you because Kristina chose to do those things. She chose to put her self in jail and to have a baby. The only thing is how old was she when she had her baby? Kristina needs to learn a lesson.
ReplyDeleteShannon, I feel bad for Peeta, too. If I was in that situation, I would also be scared. Based on what you told us about the book, I also want Katniss and Peeta to stay healthy and win the games.
ReplyDeleteIn my book(Sleepaway Girls)one of the characters is Sam her mom dates her boss, witch is her enmys dad. So i feel bad for sam and whats shes going threw.
ReplyDeleteBritney,
I also feel bad for roger when ms. joans drags him but i kind of fell that he gets what he decerves. For trying to rob her.
Kaitlyn Berry:)
Freddy, I would fell sorry for Joe too because if my dad or mom pass away in a car crash I would fell very bad.
ReplyDelete-Michelle
ReplyDeleteI would of had empathy for that girl to. The same way you were saying that you had empathy for her because her dad had cancer. The only thing is, that she shouldn't of been mean to people. I would feel for her and also not feel bad for her.

ReplyDeleteAt first when I read that Cammie was going to go to a ball, I thought that she would have a fun but it turns out the ball is a mission and all missions lead to is stress and the last mission Cammies went on really brought down her self-esteem.

In my book Invasion Of The Boy Snatchers i feel bad for my character Massie. I feel bad for her beacause she likes this guy Derrington and then this new girl Nina comes to town and all of the boys love her! Massie was going to go to the dance with Derrington but now Massie is.=[ I dont like Nina at all as a character she is rude and mean. Because this is all happening in my book it makes the story interesting if Massie got everything she wanted and got to go to the dance with Derrington their would be no predictions and no story at all.

I agree with the people that said they didnt feel bad for Roger at first. I felt that way beacuse he was the one that caused the problem and tryed to take Mrs.Jones purse. But at the end i felt good that Roger got some love care and money, thats really what he needed because it seems like nobody else gives him any of that.

I felt sorry for Roger when he was put in a half-nelson but he also deserved it because he tried to steal Mrs. Jones purse.
ReplyDeleteBut, Amanda he deserved it because Roger tried tho steal her purse

ReplyDeletekim why did the mission bring down cammies self estein
.
I agree with sarah i would be so mad at the daugher for spying on her mother.
ReplyDeleteWhy would she do tha?
I developed a sad feeling for the character Guangro in the book I am reading, "The Evil Empress of China". Cixi is the evil Empress who wants total control and power of the throne. When whe decided to retire her grandson Guangxo became the Emperor. The Emperor wanted to improve China and made changes in the government to better the country. Cixi did not like these changes. She had troops still loyal to her seize the Emperor and took back control of China.
ReplyDeleteMy perception of the book is that know matter what Cixi says about retiring or letting someone else be in power is not true. She finds fault with everyone and their ideas and always takes back control of the country. It's her way or nothing.

the book thank you ma'm left me with alot of questions like where was rogers parents? where does roger live? why not get a job so he can get money for the sneakers? i think roger dropped out of school.i think that because rogers grammar isn't proper and his vocab isnt all that either
ReplyDeleteI feel empathy for the character Zee in my book. He has a really strong relationship with his grandma. Every Summer he would go to her house for about 6 weeks. They make cakes and go to popular tourist sites. I feel bad for him because his grandma is going to die and they have such a strong relationship.

I agree with Amanda because Ms. Jones made me feel negative. Her attitude made me think she could be nice or, really mean.
ReplyDeleteOwen O'Neill
In the book the 39Clues I felt bad For Amy because Her grand mother died and she was very close to her and was extremely distraught. this changed my view of the book because I thought she was very strong and wouldnt even cry very much.
ReplyDeleteBobby I agree with you. When Mrs.Jones had Roger in a head lock i felt really bad for him. I also thought that Mrs.Jones would end up being really mean but I understand she was a very nice person and was just defending herself.
ReplyDeleteHi. and yeah i agree with Dorthy because I think i would feel bad for the friends if the person they looked up to died ( I didnt read the book) -mychala
ReplyDeleteIn the book "if I stay" I had empathy for the character Mia. Her familly has died in a car crash, and she is only living on a thread. However her friends and grandparents, would do anything for her to just live a little longer.
ReplyDeleteSo now she has to make the decision to stay on earth, sick and an orphan, or should she die and be with the rest of her familly in heaven.
If I were in Mia's shoes, I would be devistated, because it is hard for me to make simple desicions like what to wear, what to eat, and what to do with my free time. I would never be able to make a desision, that would have such a hudge impact on my life (or in this case death), and the lives of others. I also have empathy for Mia being sick and losing her familly, because those are some of the two hardest things having to live with.

Kaity I read my sisters keeper and I felt almost the same way! I felt bad that she had a messed up familly,and that she was only born to save her sister. However untill the end I was also very upset that Anna was suing her familly. If Anna didn't donate the kidney to Kate, Kate would die.
ReplyDeleteI also had empathy for Anna's siblings too. I felt bad for Jesse because the only reason he was a fire starter, an alcoholic, and a user of other drugs, was so he could get attention from his other familly members, because they were so focused on Kate's lukimeia. I had felt bad for Kate because she is the one who has to suffer the pain of lukimeia, and her sister who is her best friend, is suing her parents for tring to save her.

Bobby-
ReplyDeleteI would feel bad if someone out another person in a box and then threw them in the ocean. Why were they kiddnaped?
I devoloped a feeling for my character when I found out that he had the worst past. He house got burnt down by the fiend, his brother almost was paralysed by a witch's potion, and his mom is Lamia. It influenced my reading because whenever he made a mistake and someone got mad at him I felt bad because it's just a mistake and he just went through a lot
ReplyDeleteI agree with owen because if you have a strong relationship with someone and they die you will be torn apart and you will actually go insane.
ReplyDeleteIn my book I feel bad for my character Eragon. I feel bad for him because everyone depends on him to defeat the evil king Galbatorix who is trying to take over. He is the only one left of an ancient group called Dragon Riders who is not under Galbatorix's conrtol, therefore he is the strongest person in the group fighting the king.He is only a teenager.It influenced my reading because now I realise he has so much to learn with very little time to do it.

I agree Elise, I would feel bad for Mia also. That stinks that her family died in a car crash.
ReplyDelete-Matt Conforti
i just started a new book and it seems cool i think that the girls will believe the person sending them the letters and goto the cops for help they should because they're lives can be in danger
ReplyDeletedseekid321- how did everyone get under king galbotorix's control were they hipnotized that would be so cool
ReplyDeleteelise littlefield- i feel bad for your character but i would live life if i were her because either way its gunna end up one way and that way is she's not gunna have much longer to live after making her decision before she is deceased so why not live why die if you have the chance to live and die later
ReplyDeleteCiara, honey, this is last week's homework. You need to do the homework under the post "Strategies" here in Independent Readers and the post "Publishing" in Writers.
ReplyDeleteI devolep a feeling for my character when I figured out that my character was arrested for what he didn't do. He was in the store looking to see if any cops were in the place and then he walked out. I don't know how he could be involed with a crime with he did not do.
ReplyDeleteMichael Urban
Kenny S I would feel the same way if that happened to someone that I knew I would go easy on him for a little while and then I would see if he would want to talk about what happened that day.

When Mrs.Jones closed the door it was sad because well he didnt get to say thanks . And I hoped they would been good friends or maybe adopt him cause her tone kinda acted like she wanted to adopt him or maybe I got it wrong . But it was So Sad.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mrs. Jones closed the door it was sad because he didn’t get to say thanks. I had hoped they would become good friends or maybe she would adopt him because her tone kind of sounded like she wanted to adopt him. Maybe I got it wrong, but it was so sad when she slammed the door on him in the end.
