The main character in my book, Warriors The Sun Trail is Gray Wing. He is a sleek, dark gray tom cat with golden eyes. He is the fastest cat in his tribe. I think I am like him because I am really fast too. In the book Gray Wing is very cautious of new things and he likes too try new things once he knows that they are safe. He also loves to run in open spaces. He prefers being in the open more that an enclosed area. Gray Wing also enjoys the company of others. One more thing about about Gray Wing, he likes to be himself rather than act like someone he's not.
I think that I am like him because I am also very cautious of new things but I like to try new things once I am sure that they are safe to do or eat or use. I also love too run in open areas. I like being in the open more than being in an enclosed area. I also enjoy being around other people but, sometimes I like to be by myself. I like too be myself rather than someone I am not, like Gray Wing.

This week's assignment is to describe the main character of a book and tell how he/she is like you.Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is one of my favorite books. The main character is thirteen year old Brian Robeson. He is stranded in the wilderness with no help. He faces many obstacles, with one of the biggest being facing the fear inside himself. Until this summer I never thought that I had that much in common with Brian. When we were in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with our beagles, I had an unfortunate event that quickly gave me a lot of understanding for what Brian faced. Our beagles were running in the swamp when wolves attacked and killed eight of them. Several were close to the truck and I found them with their tracking collars in a few minutes. Two of the beagles were about 450 yards deep in the swamp. As I was tracking one dog, a huge, dark, gray wolf came within 40 yards of me. I didn't have a gun and was defenseless against this blood-thirsy wolf right in the middle of his killing spree. I screamed at him and luckily he took off through the swamp. My heart was beating so hard it felt like it would jump out of my chest. I have never felt fear so much as facing this wolf right in the middle of his massacre. There is a scene in Hatchet where Brian is faced with a bear attack. I thought I could understand his feelings when I first read the book. Now, I really know what it is like to face a wild animal with no means of defense. I realize now how lonely and scared Brian must have been at that moment when he knew his life was in jeopardy. Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo is by far one of my favorite books! It's about a girl named Opal. She lives with her dad because her mother left her when she was a kid. She finds a dog at the Winn-Dixie Supermarket and names him Winn-Dixie. She has many adventures with him and they have a very close friendship. I didn't think I would ever be like Opal, she lost her mom and I have my mom. Her dad's a preacher and my dad's a fifth grade math teacher. But last summer I found something in common. We both found good friends. Last summer I came in from outside and my mom called me to the dinning room. She said one of her friends had found a stray cat at her house at Buckeye Lake. And she says she (the cat) needs to find a home because at the lake many homeless people sell them to Pitt-Bull trainers (Pitt-Bull trainers are people who buy cats and use them to train to fight dogs which would kill the cat). So my mom called her friend and said that we would take them and take care of them. As soon as we got them they were super skinny and scared so I game them food and water. Then after a few weeks they were really sweet and soft. And now I love my cat Jessie and she loves me, too! There is a part in Because of Winn-Dixie when she finds the dog and gives him a bath and brushes him out. She finds out that the dog has many blotches of bold spots on him. She feels bad for the dog but that's what makes him special. Then they start became best friends! McD I love your writing it's very detailed. Your writing says something about you. I hope to see more posts out of you. Keep up the good work!

The main character from my book is like me because she is crazy. Always getting into trouble. Talking back. Having attitude. Yelling at her little brother. Well Amamda has a little brother like me that she is always yelling at. The only thing that we don't have in conman is that my parents are not together like hers. Amanda is always driving her mom crazy to go to friends house or have someone stay with her. That is what i'm always doing. I'm always bugging my mom if someone can stay the night with me. We also both have a really big mouth! Amanda and I both are not a girly girl! But we still both like to go out and have fun with our friends. Amanda and I are not exactly the same but we don't have all things in conman. Good Job Kaylee. Whats Your Book? Thanks Dylan! My book is called 11 Birthdays.

In the book Game Changer the main character is KT Sutton. KT Sutton and I are alike because....... We both play softball and have the same attitude. KT Sutton plays softball like I do. Well she got hurt really bad where she couldn't play any more. KT Sutton was so mad so upset that she couldn't concentrate when she was in the hospital, because she knew she wouldn't be able to play softball. I would be so worried to if i couldn't play. Softball is my life basically, because I play 24-seven. I always practice have games like on the back of my softball shirt it says "there's no place like home" you know like home plate. Well later KT Sutton is having a hard time not playing. Being so hurt can't concentrate I wouldn't be happy if I got hurt and had to miss a year of softball. Later on KT Sutton starts having the best attitude around I would do the exact same. Just keep a good attitude and go with the flow. Hey I'm not trying to be rude but you have an I that is not capitalized . But other than that your writing is amazing! I think this is the perfect book for you because you are always playing softball and you really enjoy it. I think I might have to check this book out. It sounds really cool. Keep up the good work!

I read this book called English Roses,it's one of my favorite books. The main character in this book is Nicole she live in London. She has a group of friends called the English Roses. They are all in the sixth grade and are 11 years old they have a new talent show and they are getting ready for it. Well Nicole went on vacation and met a new friend and that friend's dad is a movie dictator. That new friend's dad is coming to Nicole's hometown to do a movie. Another example from the book is that the group of girls have been trying to get along with the new friend. They have no time to rehearse the number for the talent show. This is an exciting book. If you love dramas you will love this book. Will Nicole pick her group or the new friend? You will never know if you don't read! Kyleigh this sounds like a really good book for you because your always doing pageants and things like that. This sounds like a really girly book. I may have to check it out sometime. I love your writing. It's amazing I can't wait to see some of your other posts. Keep up the good work!

Describe the main character of a book and tell how he/she is like you.
The main character in my book is Alex Rider who is a secret agent/spy. How he is like me is He's fun, exploring, strategic, and daring,. Right now I'm on book 5 of the Alex Rider Series by Anthony Horowitz which is called Scorpia Rising.
Here are a few more examples of how he is like me is when he gets in trouble he channels his anger into something useful. He doesn't stop trying when something goes bad. He looks at every detail. He has climbing ability. Has a sense of adventure. And those are just a few of the very many things that make him and I alike. I also really like climbing but I climb for fun he climbs because he has to to survive.
So that is how the main character in my book is like me.

My book is Box Out and the main character in it is Liam. I think that Liam is like me because he loves basketball and so do I. I started reading this book less than a week ago and I can definitely tell it's a pretty good book. When I went in to the book room I was looking and looking. Then I saw this one and I remembered that's the one that my friend said was good so I thought i would try it out. I opened it up and started to read and write then I knew it was a good book...But anyway why don't we talk about how the main character is like me. Liam is like me because he loves basketball Liam is like me because when his coach told him that he needed him on varsity he got really excited and I would have got really excited too!!! He is also like me because he goes to school Another reason he is like me is because he likes oreos!!!!! Ha there is some things to tell you how me and Liam are alike.

Mr. McGuire said: How is the Main Character in a Book Like You? Nancy Drew The mysterious Letter is one of my favorite books. The main character is Nancy Drew who is a teenage detective. In the book Nancy has to solve a mystery. The mystery Nancy has to solve is that letters got stolen from her mail carrier and one letter is supposedly for her and it is from England. She has to find out who stole the letters and get the letters back. One reason Nancy and I are alike is that we both like to solve mysteries. If something is lost at my house I like to look for it and find clues to try to help me find where that item is. An example is finding my dogs lost collar, that had been lost for a few months. My dog, Spud was attacked by our neighbor's dogs one night. The dogs chased Spud down our field. Spud finally came back down to our house where he had been bit and was bleeding. We took him to the vet. The vet said, "Spud will be fine after a few stitches." After his return home from the vet we noticed his collar was missing. My family and I looked and looked for his collar everywhere. We went back to where he was when they started chasing him and the places he had been. We could not find his collar anywhere. We looked for weeks and never found his collar. I looked for clues to where the collar might have been. We rode around on our golf cart to see if could see it. We never found it and thought it was lost forever. A few months later I was on the golf cart and found his collar. It was at the end of our field. I was so surprised that I had found it. I felt like I was a detective. That is how the main character in the book is like me. Wow Tatum that sounds like a really good book . I might have to read it. That's really cool how you wrote about that. Well you know what they say if you can compare you to the main character of the book than it's a good book for you. Keep up the good work Tatum. Can't wait wait to see some more of your posts!

The book I am reading is called Hideout by Gordon Korman. The Main Character is like me because he is independent and VERY VERY determined!!! He and his friends got rid of this mean guy by the name of S. Wendell Palomino, A.K.A. Swindle. Swindle got ran out of town, and left his dog behind at a shelter! An animal lover (like me!) rescued the poor dog! It was the dog's birthday when Swindle returned!Swindle claimed his dog and said HE was the rightful owner! The pound lost the paper's to show that Swindle DID abandon his dog! The main character (Griffin) would NOT stand for this!!! He HAD to do something!!! Griffin and his friends left that instant and try hard to get Luthor (Luthor is the dog!) back! Griffin Is like me because he loves animals and is determined that what he wants WILL happen!!! (Not like the spoiled brat kind of way!) He loves to help and is a nice kid! And that is how the main character in my book is like me!!! Mckenzie I love your writing!!!! I am a total animal lover too!!!! I cannot wait until you do another post!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!

I am reading the book Popularity papers. There are two main characters named Julie and Lydia. My post is about the main character having something in common with me. Julie and Lydia both have things in common with me. So here is a little about me and the characters! Lydia is someone who loves to act and sing just like me. Actually right now I`m taking a acting class in Columbus at Broadway to L.A. theater. Acting is a big part a of my life just like Lydia. Lydia is not very good at art neither am I but I still like it so does Lydia. Lydia has blue eyes just like me. Lydia is great to read about in popularity papers! I didn't think me and Julie had a lot in common. Then I found out we did have a lot in common because Julie might want to be popular but she does not care what people think about the clothes she wears I am the same way. I do not care what people think about the clothes I wear. I will wear combat boots, overalls, silly shirts, anything! My characters are best friends they act like themselves not some else like me I not scared to be me!You should read Popularity papers to see if you have any thing in common with Julie or Lydia. Both of my main characters have things in common with me. Does your main character have somthing in common with you?

I am reading a book called, " My Life as a Human Hairball" By Bill Myers. The main character is Wally which I think he and I, act the same because he has a sense of humor and so do I. Wally is dorky, and he is a different of type of kid. In the book, Wally gets into all kinds of trouble in a good way. He is very smart and has a big imagination!
Wally has two best friends named, Opera and Wallstreet. They all live in the same neighborhood and go to the same school. They are all about twelve or thirteen years old. In the book they hang out together all the time. Wallstreet is the adventurer and gets them into a lot of bad situations. Wally is funny but does not usually know what to do, so with Wally's imagination,they all work together to get out of their troubles.
Wally and his friends are at a museum taking a tour and they get bored. Wallstreet wanders off and finds a mini submarine and climbs in. Wally and Opera follow Wallstreet into the submarine. The submarine suddenly shrinks and transports them into some pink stuff. The pink liquid is dissolving the submarine. Wallstreet opens the hatch and she and Wally fall out. They find out they are in a human body blood stream!
The rest of the book is about their adventure through the human body and all that they see and learn. Wally is afraid that they may not find a way out! I recommend this book because it is funny and has lots of adventures with kids my age.
