Seeing what is important
You have been reading your novel for at least a week now and should be 50-100 pages in. Think about the first 50-100 pages of your novel and answer the following questions:
1. How has your character been described?
2. What is the main character questioning (his/her life, situation, others around him/her, etc.)?
3. What has your assigned lens taught you about the book that you may not have realized simply reading it as yourself?
4. What vocabulary or diction (pieces of the text) has the author or character used that have caused you to judge him/her? How have you judged that character?

ReplyDeleteMy character is being described and a leader with very good skills.
ReplyDeleteThe main character is wondering if everyone with him is in his side
It taught me that there is more to know when you pay attention more
I’ve juded my character as a strong leader who is willing to do anything.
1)slow,dumb and just plain ignorant (not my words :( )
ReplyDelete2)hes problem is recovering form surgery and “to be smart” or smarter then the mouse
3)that he wants or think he is stronger then what he really is and society puts the pressure on men to be the tough one
4)he say he goes to a “retarded school for adults” and me personally can’t stand that word but it makes me said that he calls it that bc it just school for challenged adults

ReplyDelete1) my character is a smart 15 year old boy named Christopher.
2) Christopher is questioning can he solve who killed the dog.
3) My lens has taught me to read the book more carefully and focus on my lens !!
4) I have judged my character as being hard headed because he never listens to anyone.
1) my character is described as an alcoholic, psycho, and depressed and think she's dangerous well to some people around her.
ReplyDelete2) my main character is hoping that when the right time comes she'll be ready to confess and that they will believe her. Also, in the end she finds the answers she's been looking for.
3) my lenses taught me that not everyone chooses the life they are given.
4) my character says in her head " why do you go running to him whenever he calls ?"
I honestly think she shouldn't even think that because when she was with Tom she'd do the exact same thing.

ReplyDelete(1st) my character has been described as being bright as a new dollar with pretty brown eyes.
(2nd) Antonia wants to be home with everyone and not have to live in poverty.
(3rd) My lens had taught me not to just view things how I see but ways others see it and actually experience a new way to view certain things.
(4th) The author is a very smart person because some of the words that I don't know but some how the author keeps it simple as well.
A adulter and a lier
ReplyDeleteThat he is bored in his relationship with his wife
I see that this woman is a hard working person
That he says he is retarded. For self confidence that is not good to say to yourself
