What is your favorite character in a book and why?
In the book Jungle Of Bones my favorite character is Uncle Todd but the reason I like Uncle Todd is because he just always wants to know whats going on. Uncle Todd is just a guy that is always wondering about whats going on and wants to know the information that happens through the war.
Uncle Todd always wants to the new things about the war so he went to Frank that's been in the war and hes been in more than seven which Todd finds very interesting because normally people that are in the war die before the seventh time. But since Frank hasn't died Todd loves to go and talk to Frank about the war and talk about what Frank had to go through and what he had to do to at least try to stay alive and not get shot. So Todd just reminds me of me because I love to go and be able to talk to somebody that I know that will talk to me about the war and tell me about everything that happens.

My favorite charter in the book I am reading is Jessie Lou, from the book Deep Down Popular. Jessie Lou is a tom boy and she is so cool she is always out side playing and doesn't really care what other people think about her. She cut all her hair off and she said it look like she took a lawn mower and went across her hair with it. I started laughing when I read that part.
I also like her because she keeps to her self she doesn't like to talk or jump around a lot she likes to be by her self and right poems. And she likes to throw rocks and draw she just sounds really cool.I also like her because she likes to read not saying I am a big fan of reading but I like to some times. And she is a big adventurer she likes finding new things and playing with bugs and sounds like a lot of fun to me. And that is why I like her the best in the book I am reading.

First I need to tell you what book that I am reading and that book is Katie Kazoo's Switcheroo Holly Jolly Christmas. Katie Kazoo is the main character in this book of course but there is a lot mores characters. Some characters are Mom , Katie, Grandma, and here Uncle Nick in here family. But there is also a family that she gives a tree to Katie does and Holly a tree sales girl. The book Katie Kazoo's Switcheroo Holly Jolly Christmas Is about Katie Kazoo switches body with people when a gust of wind comes threw and while mom is working Grandma and Uncle Nick take Katie Christmas tree shopping. While Katie is looking for trees a gust of wind come and she switches with the really mean tree sale girl named Holly. Long story short she end up giving a tree away to a family that could not afford one. After Katie switched back she realized she did something she cost Holly her job. But I still like Katie Kazoo the most because she was nice and caring even though she made Holly lose her job. And the reason for that is she made a good reputation come off of Holly. And that made Holly feel happy and it made everybody feel good about Holly. And that is why my favorite character is Katie Kazoo.

In the book Abduction by Peg Kehret my favorite character is Bonnie. She is my favorite character because she is so strong. I wouldn't be able to handle my sister and my dog getting stolen and not being able to talk to them for days. She also knew to go right to the principal when her brother wasn't at the bus. Also I wouldn't be able go around my sister if there was a mean kid napper around.
Bonnie does handle all of that. When she knew her brother wasn't at the bus she went right to the principal. Then her and the principal noticed he wasn't at school at all she was still calm. When she saw him she was calm and followed him and his kidnapper. I would be to scared because I would think the kidnapper would hurt me too.

I once read all of the Judy Moody books by Megan McDonald. So my favorite book character ever is Judy Moody. Even though it's a littler level reading level I loved these books as a kid and I'll always remember how in the first book Judy became my hero for roaring at her brother, Stink! I love Judy Moody because she has spunk, personality, and she's not afraid to be Judy. Judy is funny, sassy, and weird. She's funny by word play. Instead of saying words like cool she says rare. She's sassy by like I said before roaring at her brother and telling him to go away. She's weird by instead of making a normal club with a normal association she makes one called the Toad Pee Club and you have to have a toad pee on you to get in. Judy Moody also loves her friends. Her friends are Frank, Rocky, and Mr. Todd. Judy didn't like Frank at first because in Kindergarten he ate paste and she thought he was gross but now there best friends because she found out that he was really cool. Rocky has always been her friend. He's nice and cool (or rare). And last but not least Mr. Todd. Mr. Todd is Judy's teacher. He's a fun teacher. It's kind of weird to call her teacher a friend but they are so close they are. Well, Thanks for reading! And stay rare people!

We got an assignment to answer What Is Our Favorite Character And Why? In the book I'm reading Slam Dunk the main character and my favorite character is Ashlee Carson. Ashlee is a basketball player. Ashlee is also a athlete. The reason Ashlee is my favorite character because she's athletic, independent, doesn't give up, and fights for what she loves. Ashlee is tall with blond hair. Ashlee is a amazing point guard with a dream. Ashlee's dad is a professional basketball player (that would be awesome). Her mom doesn't really agree with Ashlee and tries to make her into something else. But Ashlee stays with her dream and won't back down.
In the book Ashlee gets the chance to compete on the nationals. She has to do it but her mom disagrees. Ashlee said even though her mom might never forget she has to stay and stick with her dream.
That's why she such a good role model and my favorite character. She doesn't back down from her dream if someone tells her to. She sticks with it to the end to do what she loves.

My favorite character is Teresa from The Maze Runner. I like her because she is a tom boy and she can fend for herself and when things get tough she keeps going and doesn't give up. She is the only girl in a group of like 50 boys and that had to be tough, she only kind of knew one of the boys! She didn't really have anyone to talk to, and to add on to everything else she had her memory wiped. In part of the book the characters have to fight grievers and she stays strong and goes through with it. Then they have to jump of a cliff and into a tiny hole that they couldn't even see and then type a code into a computer to escape. It must of taken lots of guts to jump of the cliff into a hole that you can't see. That is why I like her.

My Favorite character is Thomas from the Maze Runner because he is always have a reason for what he's doing he is the one with the plain.Also hes the main character so he gets the most action also because he can talk to a girl in his head if you don't know its called Telepathic.So Thomas can talk to a girl names Teresa and she can talk to Tomas in his head .Its so cool!
Also Tomas is the only one to survive in the maze by himself till toward the end.Also Tomas and Teresa helped make the maze and if you don't know what the maze is it is this huge maze and the walls shift right every night also usually the gates close's every night till Teresa came and started the ending. But she didn't know what it was because the people that put them their wiped everyone's memory that in the maze.IF you read this book you could probably agree with me that Tomas is the best character.

In my book Game Changer Heavy Hitters Ben is my favorite character. After getting hit by a pitch the first time Ben is not playing the same. He is striking out every time he goes up to bat. He is messing up easy plays and he is not doing good at all. But he is going to every practice and every game not knowing why hes doing so bad over one pitch and why he is trying to recover from the hit his team is getting worse by the minute too.
Now his whole team is messing up loosing games and looking like the bad news bears every practice and hes got to try and fix him and his team so there good like they used to be. Ben is my favorite character because he is courageous and isn't afraid of anything that's in his way and he has way more spirit than anyone in game changers.

My favorite character is Carver from Ripper by . The reason Carver is my favorite is because he is a problem solver. He thinks like a detective and acts like one. He can pick locks and find clues. He has always dreamed about becoming a detective getting to stop criminals and and solve crimes. He has one last chance he gets a great opportunity When he gets adopted by a detective named Hawking he want's him to become a good detective so he gives him jobs. He ends up getting a job to find his dad and it gets really good from there. Carver starts searching for his dad and runs into a lot of trouble.

My favorite character in a book would be Joe Hardy from the Hardy Boys book series. In case you don't know the books or the Hardys well they are teenage detective/spies that solve mysteries.
I think he is my favorite because I think he does more action like things and is more up to beat has more energy. Is always taking chances and makes the books better and more interesting.
For example in "Foot Prints Under The Window" When they were chasing a guy who was spying on them and took off running in escape Joe was the one in front when Frank (his brother) was behind him in a chase.
To me he makes the book way more interesting to read and makes the book have more action even though Frank is still one of my favorites Joe is my one favorite.

I read the book Because Of Anya there is this girl named Anya and she is my favorite character because no matter what happened she would hide from it than come back. Like an example is when she was in gym something bad happened and she didn't want to go to school because she was afraid she was going to get made fun of. Anyway she ends up going back. Anya has alopecia and what it is it's a type of dessese and it's where your falls out. It's kinda like cancer where your hair falls out but it's not as bad. Anya was talking to herself and she wants a baby sister or a baby brother and she feels like shes holding her parents back because she thinks afraid to have another kid and will turn out like Anya. Therese this girl and I forger her name but she went and checked on Anya and she was so helpful and Anya was saying about how she wants a sister or a brother and she thinks it's because of her and her mom ends up finding out she hears Anya and of course it made her parents feel bad. Well in the last couple pages something exciting happens. Something that leaves you hanging. Well I haven't really talked about why she is my favorite character. Well I am now. Shes not the popular person shes just an ordinary girl that doesn't have friends and she doesn't really want any because shes afraid with her alopecia someone will tell everyone. She wants to keep her secret to herself. She doesn't want anybody to know. If I were in her shoes I would feel the same way. I say that just because she has a disease that it shouldn't matter there still like us. When I see someone making fun of a kid I always think what happens if that was you and you got made fun of how would you feel? I think it's so sad to watch someone get bullied for no reason. Anya is a girl that is insecure about herself she doesn't want other people to know. I wish I had the personality of Anya. When you read the book it's so sad to read I cried at one of the parts in the book. It was so sad. Because Of Anya is a really good book and Anya is my favorite charterer out of all of the book I have read this year.

In the book Insurgent and my favorite character is the main character Tris. Tris is my favorite character because she is the kind of person who acts like she is fearless but really she is just like everyone else. The thing I like about he is that she will sacrifice herself to save anyone even the person she hates the most
Tris stays strong in the most terrifying moments, where everyone else would have panicked and died. That is the reason I like her.

My favorite character is Eva from the book Whats left of me.This is my favorite character because she is really protective of her sister and she is doing all she can to keep her safe.To me that really mattered to her and was something she would not back down for.
Eva is one of those people that will risk her life to keep someone that is close to her alive.Eva is totally against war in the book because she really does not like violence and people hating each other.One part of the book Eva was going to this museum with her class and she sees pictures and memory's of what war was like and it sickens her while everybody was going on about how cool it looked to be in war.
I this book I think Eva is really brave and just a outgoing person but there was some parts to the book were I was lost and didn't really understand because the book kept talking about like every soul of two siblings had to split and one child would fade.When the book was talking about when one would fade I think it meant one would be within you and you could her them but you could not see them because they were part of you now.I figured this because It happened to Eva and her sister and everyone was concerned at first because it should have happened to them earlier in life.
