  1. The things the I cherish in life is friendship, family,school, shopping,my home .Now in the book LIARS Sam {the main character} cherishes 1.)-friendship 2.)- Alder Creek 3.)-ability to mind reader 4.)-finding out the truth 5.)-school 6.)- water witching. The plot help me understand the characters values because at first when I was reading i really didn't understand the character but now as I continued reading the plot gave me more information about Sam.Some of my values that are similar to Sam is the we both cherish school, friends, home/environment.



    2.)-Other clues that my book is a mystery is while Uncle Gene was sleeping someone broke into his log cabin and Sam is curious who would do such a thing.

  2. 1 some things that i cherish in life are family, soccer, alone time, friends, and personality. some things that my main character , stella, charishes are friends, family, personality, and the paper she writes for. some ways that we're the same is we both value friends and family. we both like the activity we are in even if it's totally different subjects (mine sports, hers is writing).
    2 some clues were that every one was trying to find the possible murderer(s) and were they were and who they would strike next.(already finished the book.)

  3. 1.Some things I cherish in life is my down-time, my video games, my technology, and football. Some values Katniss might have is the need to feed her family, pretecting both Peeta and Gale, having her own time to herself, killing President Snow, and leading the Rebels to victory and leave her alone. The plot of the story told me this because of her attitude against everything. Katniss and I don't have to much in common when it comes to our values, seeing we live in different times that might change.

    2. Some more clues that tell me this is a mystery are that the Rebels do end up saving Peeta and the rest of the victors. Peeta is the only one changed, known by his attempt to kill Katniss. Will the Rebels be able to find a cure for Peeta before he gets' Katniss?

    things i cherish
    1.My dog
    2.My phone
    3.Family
    4.Friends
    5. free time
    things he cherish
    1. free-time
    2. friends
    3. family
    4. phone
    5. being at ice cream parlor with friends

    The plot helped me understand the character's values because it various places within the book, he talked about things that he liked doing and (while at work) places that he wanted to of been.

    My values are somewhat similar to his by, things like, our family and our friends and phones. But, his is different from mine in the sense the he likes to be at an ice cream parlor with friends while I love my puppy

    2. More clues are,
    -he is trying to find the women the serial killer is stalking

  5. A few things I cherish in life are soccer, relaxing,close friends,good helpful teachers(yes you blue 7 teachers),I'm also glad to have ice packs because of soccer,and spending time with friends. A few thing shat my main character Minerva would cherish would be free time, being able to talk to friends, happyness, being able to solve mysterys, her good friends.
    Minerva has a type of spunky additude torwds life, she likes to be with her friends anddoesn't spend much time shoppng like most people thikn teens should spent their time. In a way Minerva and me are very similar, we both like our free time and being with friends.

    2.Minerva has found some supisioce people that she thinks has something to do with the stealing of the dimond. Also the clues that she has found is leading them closer to finding who toke the dimonds.

  6. Some things that I cherish in life are friendship, soccer, flute, reading, and my dogs.
    Some things the main character in THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME are personal space, family, his pet rat, kind people, and school. I could tell that these were his values because he freaks out if someone touches him, he has always admired his father, he is always spending time with his rat, the only people he bothers to spend time with are nice paople, and one of his favorite places is school. Our values differ because I am not a huge fan of school, but our values are similar because we both have pets, we both like nice people, and I like to have my own personal space, as well

    Some more clues that make me believe that my book is a mystery is that yet another mystery has opened up in my book. The main character finds out that his mother, who he had thought to be dead, was actually not, and his father had just lied to him about it because his mother had left them. He had to figure this out by sleuthing around in his father's room and being secretive in finding things to prove that his mother was indeed alive.

  7. Some of the things I charrish in my life are my friends(they some times get me through hard times),my family(always there for me),and my hobbies (such as playing soccor).The main charicter of my book THE MUSISIONS DAGHTER,Theresa valuse:her family,her fathers unexpected death,friends,playing instraments,and doing her paying job correctly as an apprentice for Haydn.The plot helped me when I got to page and chapter p.g. 147-152 chap.15.The parts in this chapter seemed like part of the climax because Zolten and Haydn think that Theresa's godfather and the prince had somthing to do with her fathers death.So now Theresa wants to help by going to this ball that she was planning to attend,along with her brother Toby.I would say that what I value is sort of the same thing that Theresa valuse.Also I would do the same thing for my family members or friends if they were unexpectidly murderd.

  9. The tings I cherish in life is my family shopping and my freinds because if Im having a bad day or something like that they help me feel better and i love my freinds what would i do with out them.My favorite sport is playing basket ball with my brothers like my main character noah cherish his dad and the plot really helped me figure that out because in the last three chapters I had read noah always went to visit his dad in jail and they always talked bout him and noah always talks bout his dad and also the carol queen boat. I consider this book as a mystery beacause noah dose not no when his father is getting out and thats a true mystery because noahs mother offerd to pay bail but noahs dad always says no and the coral queen the boat got all fixed up when before the boat was not running and the owner never cared bout it till it was fixed and the dad wonders how so noahs dad is trying to sink the boat better nown as the coral queen.........

  10. Some of the things I cherish in my life are my great friends and family who always help me through tough times and I know I can count on them to be trustworthy. I also cherish all of the things I own (like my clothes, house, etc.) because I know we are very lucky because some people have less than we do. In my story LIGHTNING, the main character Laura, values utter isolation of herself and her family from the whole world as a means of protection. She cherishes her one an only son Chris, and her best friend, Thelma (mainly the only two people she still interacts with in the story). She also cherishes her abilities as a writer/author not only because she became rich and relatively known from writing her books, but also so she can put all of the pain of losing so many people in her life into a story (for example, currently in the story she is writing a dark book, that she has focused all of her pain from all of the deaths of people she had cared about into her life into the book).

    Some clues that I know my book is mystery is that there are still questions that the author has left me with as well as the main character in my story. Like, How is Laura's guardian some how related to her (maybe not in a biological or family way) and Why is he set upon protecting Laura from dying in so many events in her life that she would have either way?
