Thursday 4/7- Mystery

1. You board a train and discover you have the choice of sitting next to the main character or another character in the book. With whom would you choose to talk? Why? What would you like to ask the character? What would you tell him or her? (Remember, you do not need to choose the most admirable character.)


2. Please respond to a fellow classmate's ideas about their book and text connections.

  1. Of all of the characters in the book HUNGER GAMES, I would choose to sit next to Cinna. Cinna's clever design and bedazzeling dress caused me to be in awe. I would ask him where his inspiration came from for the "Girl on Fire" dress and why he had "chosen" to be the designer for District 12, when most people steer clear of that district because of its coal mining background. I would tell Cinna that I thought he was a genius and was one of the main reasons Katniss got so many votes that night at the Opening Ceremony Interviews. I would also love to ask him to help me become a fashion designer , as that would be one of my dream jobs!

  2. If I borded a train and had the choice to sit next to any character of my book,I would sit next to Theresa(main character).I would sit next to Theresa because she has expirienced somthing more greater then what I have expirienced.Her father died a dredful accident by someone un-known to the story.So I would like to ask her What do you think happend to him?,Why has this event accurd?,and What are you going to do about the mystery behind all this?.Then I would tell Theresa everyone loves a good mystery,because everyone wants to try and figure it out and then be satisfied(thats what I think).I would tell her to go after what she belives should happen in this kind of event so her and her father can be at peace!(I think her dad would want her to figure out his death,and what happend.)

    If I had to seat next to one of the characters in my book, STORM BREAKER, I would choose to seat next to Alex Rider.I would like to tell him how cool the gagets he got for his mission would be to have today as a kid .I would like to ask him how he felt when he found out that his uncle was murdered and now he must take his spot as a spy. I would like him to teach me karate like his uncle did!

  4. If I was on a train and had a chance to sit next to one of the main characters of the MOCKINGJAY I would choose to sit next to Katniss. I would choose her because she has been through so much like the death of her best friend in the arena, Rue. Or having to leave her sister or mother for game she might never make it out alive. I would just tell her what my life has been like living in the past and everything. I know it won't be as close as what her life must have been growing up in District 12 and without a father.

  5. Out of all of the characters introduced in my book LIGHTNING so far, I would choose to sit next to Laura Shane.
    I find her an inspiring character because she has lost both of her parents, had to be taken away from her only friends when she was placed into new foster homes, and when she was finally placed into a good caring foster home her foster mother died and she was sent back to the orphanage for the third time. But despite all that she's been through she is a very strong person. I would ask her how she deals with all the stress and pain of being an orphan/foster care child. I would also ask her how scary it feels to have to live in the orphanage with an employee who had molested children there and was stalking her. I would tell Laura that I'm inspired by her at how strong she is with dealing with the ups and downs of life.

  6. My book is the LONDON EYE MYSTERY...
    1.)If I boarded a train and had a choice to sit next to one of the characters I would sit next to Ted because he is very clever and knows how to figure things out.. For example when Salim goes up the London eye and doesn't come back down Ted finds some clues about what could of happened to him, like this strange men came up to Ted,Salim and Kat before Salim boarded on the eye, and offered him a free ticket which he took and went on the eye.. This made Ted suspicious... So I would want to sit next to him so he could help me figure one of my problems out or just ask him questions on how he became so smart... I would also ask him about his mental problem where he forgets little things that happen and only remember big important things...
    2.) Jenna A I could also connect to your connection to your book because it reminds me to of how I people and kids are on the news from getting murdered, kidnappedor raped or anything similar to that too.. Also I like that you put that you know that your book is a mystery because there are unknown characters in your book... There were also unknown characters in my book too!

  8. My book is THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME. If I were to board a train and sit next to one of the characters in my book, I would sit next to Christopher. He is the main character, and one reason I would choose to sit next to him is that he is the only character that has really been described in the book. I would ask him to more desrcribe the 'crime scene' of the murdered dog in the book, so that I could better understand his surroundings. I couls also try and help him solve the mystery, since I watch a lot of murder mystery TV shows.

  9. If I had an opportunity to board on a train and then discover that i would be sitting right next to and talking to one of the characters from the book, i would most like to sit next to Sam (the main character).I would have chosen to sit Sam because he has a lot going on, he's a mind reader,and he has to use his ability to help find out who's after uncle gene.And has a bunch to figure out.If I had a chance I would ask Sam " what is it like being a mind reader and how do you feel about getting into individuals minds." I would tell Sam to don't give find the person who is after uncle gene, and be a hero,have faith,and save uncle gene from danger.

  10. In the book AUGUST, DIE SHE MUST, I would choose to sit next to Kim. I thought that she showed what Jenna and I have a close friendship. even though she drives me a little coocoo, she's still the best so i think that , like Stella and Kim, we find ourselves never staying mad so i would ask her how she got through all the confusion and made their friend ship last.

  11. In my book MINERVA CLAKS GOES TO THE DOGS I would choose Minerva to sit next to. I would chose to sit next to her because she is smart and seems to know a lot. Also she seems to be be able to stand people and gets along well with others. I would probable ask her waht it was like to solve a major mystery and then have to be doing chorse like it never happened. I would tell Minerva that she should keep on goeing with her life no matter what happens or what her brothers make her do.
