Homework Post #2

Happy New Year!

I hope you all are enjoying your new AR books! By now you should be far enough into the story to know who your main character is and what conflict he or she is trying to overcome. Remember the conflict is the foundation to any good story and will drive the plot throughout the rest of your book. Answer the following questions and look for connections between your responses and your classmates'. 

1. Who is your main character? 

2. What conflict is your main character trying to overcome? 

3. What steps do you think your main character might take to resolve the conflict?   
    What might you do in the same situation? 



Your blog post needs to contain:

1. The answers to my questions 
2. Specific evidence from the text 
3. Complete sentences 
4. Proper grammar and spelling 
5. At least 5 sentences 

Remember all posts get emailed to my phone and it is very easy to forward them on to whomever needs to see them.

Happy blogging!!!!

  1. My A.R. book is called "Divergent." The author of this book is Veronica Roth. My main character is Beatrice,(Don't know her last name) she is sixteen years old. The conflict she is having is that she wants to choose what faction she wants to go to. But, if she makes the wrong choice it could be very horrible for her. One the front cover it says, "One choice can transform you." So she has to make the right choice or she would be in the faction she doesn't like for her life. I think Beatrice would try to take others advice and may just go with the flow with everyone else, it could be worst. If I was in that situation, I would just try to see if I can change my faction, if I couldn't, oh well...

The conflict is that Eva is paralyzed in the same body as her sister but no one knows that shes still there except for; Lissa, Hally, Devon, Ryan, and Addie. One day Hally invited Addie over and told her she knew that Eva was paralyzed and that she wasn't settled yet. She even told her that her and her brother weren't settled either. Eva and Addie decided to talk to Hally again knowing that her and her brother weren't settled either. When they went back to their house they drugged Addie and asked Eva to try and move. She tried with all her might she was even crying. Eventually Eva moved and everyone that knew her was proud of her instead of Addie.

The hunger games is about how the districts choose one girl and one boy to represent the district to fight til death. The conflict Katniss is facing is about volunteering for her sister Prim at the reaping. The reason Katniss volunteers is to keep her sister safe.
