The name of the book that I am reading is "Linspired". It's about the life of Jeremy Lin.
A decision Jeremy made was to teach is Youth Pastor to play basketball in exchange for attending Youth Group.
If I was in his shoes I would have done the same thing because I love basketball and I would be helping a friend about it. Also I would be attending church and becoming closer to Jesus Christ.
My actions would not change the story because I agree with what he did.

Describe a decision made by the main character. If you were in his/her shoes what decisions would you make in the same situation? How would it be similar? How would it be different? How would your actions change the story? Be sure to add specific details to support your comments. My book title is I Survived The Titanic the main characters name is George and his decision was to let his friend that he know for 2 days to let him drift away in to the ocean on a crate and he did not he pulled him into the lifeboat. If i was in his shoes i would have done the same thing.

The book I'm reading is Everyday Angel by Victoria Schwab. The main characters (Gabby) brother has cancer and is staying at the hospital. The main character Gabby goes and sees him daily. If I was Gabby I would do the same thing. Unlike Gabby I have a lot more things I'm involved in. I would have to make the decision to give things up (softball) it could change how the character feels toward her brother.

Bnnie is one of the main characters in the book Abduction by Peg Kehret. A decision Bonnie has to make is if she can tell her friend Nancy about a scary but not so scary dream she is having. "In the dream I'm lost on a huge prairie, acres and acres of grass higher than my head. I spend the whole dream running calling for help that never comes."
The decision I would make if I was in Bonnie's shoes in the same situation would be, not to tell Nancy because, what if Nancy makes fun of her. I would just walk away so Nancy doesn't get mad because, Bonnie doesn't tell her and, Bonnie doesn't get made fun of her.
It would be different and similar because Bonnie would still tell Nancy she is having the dream but doesn't tell her what the dream is about like the details.
My action would change the story by Bonnie not telling Nancy about the dream she is having like all the details but, tells Nancy she is having the dream still. Nancy would be wanting to know what it is about but, Nancy will not be willing to ask Bonnie about the dream because she doesn't want to bring up memories or Bonnie think she is being mean.

In the book I am reading(Divergent) Tris had to choose Erudite or Dauntless because she was sixteen. She picked Dauntless. I also would have chosen Dauntless because I like what Dauntless do..It would be similar because we would choose Dauntless. It would be different because i am not Divergent. It will change the story because the title would have to change. The whole book is about the Divergent.

The book that I am reading is called Winn-Dixie.The biggest decision of what I just read was were opal claimed the dog that was running in the grocery store hers. Because they were going to go call the pond. <br><br>I would not made that decision because it was pretty stupid of her to do that. That would of changed the story a lot because she would never meet her friends and more importantly learn about her mom.<br>

How would your actions change the story? Be sure to add specific details to support your comments. I am reading the book Everwild. The decision the main character Nick and his friend Johnny made was to ether find someone called Zach the Ripper to join him in the battle against the Mary (the Sky Witch.) Or find other people to go against Mary. Legend says that Zach the Ripper can pull something out of the living world and pull it back into Everlost and can also pull a body part out of a living body an a body in Everlost but if he pulls out a body part from a person in Everlost it does not grow back (every wound in Everlost is boodles and healed instantly. ) Nick and Johnny thought about it then Nick said that they were going to find Zach the Ripper. I would have done the same thing but kept my distance between me and Zach the Ripper because I don't want to lose any body parts. My actions would not have changed the story.

Well it depends on the situation what actions I would be willing to take. If the situation was all that bad. I would lay out a plan for my action but that would be just another decision I would have made. Maybe someone would decide to do some thing better like act out the actions or some thing.If you know what your going to to do work for don't just go with it. Have a plan, everybody makes different decisions.

In one of the books I have been reading,a girl named Louise is about to go to a school dance,she just bought this new green dress and when she gets to the party she backs up in to the lemonade bowl and gets it all over her dress,she is all wet and starts to get cold it begins to rain and so many emotions are going trough her head.If I were her that night I would try to be more careful and aware of were I was walking so I wouldn't get lemonade all over my dress.It is similar because she still would have been at the dance with her friend.It would be different because something bad and emotional would not have happened to her,she would not have got lemonade on her dress and run away from embarrassment,she also would not of sat in the rain and thought about her mom that night.My actions would have changed the story because nothing embarrassing would have happened.

Good Morning! The title of the book is Thirteen Days To Midnight. The authors name is Patrick Carman. A decision made by the main character (Jacob Fielding) was that he could either jump down of the balcony on a pile of books, chairs, and tables or he could take his chances on jumping on a lamp.
The whole reason Jacob has to pick which to jump on because his friend (Ophelia) moved the ladder for Jacob to get down. To see if he really had the power of being indestructible.
If I were in his shoes I would tell Ophelia to put the ladder back and I wouldn't jump down in till Ophelia put the ladder back.
The decision would be similar because I would still get down somehow. The decision would be different because there wouldn't be a chance of Jacob getting hurt.
My actions would change the story by, Ophelia would be mad at Jacob because he didn't jump off the balcony. To prove that he was indestructible.

since I lost part two of Lord Of The Rings, I will tell a part from part 1.
Frodo(main character) had to make a decision to go on the gap of Rohan or go in the Mines Of Moria. If I was in Frodo's shoes, I would go in the mines of Moria like Frodo did because the gap of Rohan is near Saruman and his army of orc's and to go on the pass of Caradhras will = death. I would have a light source like fire on a stick of wood unlike Frodo which would barely change the story.

In this post I will talk about a desion my main character (Katniss Everdeen) makes in the book I`m reading (Catching Fire) and tell what I would do if I was in her shoes.Read more to see what I would do compared to what she does. In Catching fire Katniss is at the cornucopia she grabs the bow and arrows.Katniss notices someone behind her sghe starts to shoot then she realizes that she can`t because it`s finnick whos wearing Haymitchs golden charm.She knows she cant shoot him because he wanted them to be allies.So they became allies.If I were in her shoes I`d most likely start to shoot then realize what finnick is wering and ask him why he is wearing it.If he says "because your mentor gave it to me to show you we need to be allies" Then we can be allies.That what Katniss and I would do. My actions will slow don the story by me having to take extra time to ask him the question.What makes what I would do similar to what Katnis did is we both would start to shoot but don`t shoot at finnick.What makes what I would do different to what Katnis did is I would question why he has haymitchs golden charm and Katniss does not. Thats what would happen if I was in Katnisses shoes!Please read more of my posts!

In the book I'm reading Tangerine the main character is Paul Fisher. I will be talking about a decision made by Paul Fisher and if I was in his shoes what decision would I make. I will explain how it will be different, similar, and how it will change the story.
Paul's brother Erik the football star. Paul hates when he's doing something and finally gets attention and then Erik shows up and all the attention goes to Erik in his football dream.
Paul's Decision.
Paul decides to ignore it and go somewhere else. Because he really wants to get out of there. When Erik and his dad are in the football dream they dont notice anything else.
My Decision.
I would tell them how I feel. I wouldn't hold it back forever. You will never fix it if you don't tell your parents or even if you cant fix it after that at least I tried to make it better. They would know (mom and dad).
How Would It Change?
Paul Fisher's family would know how I felt. I don't care if they yell at me. They can't be mad at me for how I feel. They would know that's all that matters.
Different.
Paul Fisher decided not to tell his family how he feels. I on the other hand would tell them so they knew how I felt. Kinda a big difference.
Similar.
Paul fisher waits but never tells his family. I would tell them but I would wait awhile to see if it got any better. If it didn't I would tell them.
