Doon

Doon

Author Note: this is about the character Doon and his effect on book.

The character that I’m going to talk about is Doon from the book "The City Of Ember". He is one of the main characters in the book. What role he plays in the book is that he wants to be a pipeline worker but his friend gets it and she got the one that she wants so they trade. Why he wants to be a pipeline work is because all of the lights in the city are about to go at any time and he thinks he know how he can fix the lights and save the city from the darkness. What impact he might have on other characters is that he might want to become friends with Lina because they got mad at each other and didn’t want to be friends any more. And that might change the story a lot because they might help each other when the lights go out. They might also save the city and every in the ember.

Dead Man's Path

Dead Man Path
Author Note: this is about cause and effect and how you should think about what you are going to do before you do it.

In the story "Dead Man's Path" there is a new headmaster that comes into the school. He wants to change the school and make it the best school. He wants the school to look the best that it could be. He and his wife went and got flowers and other things and put them all around the school to make it look the best it could. So one day he saw some person one a path that went through the school yard. He got very mad at the person and said that he was going to close the path, which he did. A couple of day later the village leader came and told him, he should let people go through or bad things are going to happen. Why this path was bad to close because it was the only path that the villagers could use to get to their burial ground. He still didn’t open it for the villagers so the next day when they got to the school all the flowers and things were killed that they put around the school and part of the school was tore down. This made the school look very bad.

Some of the main problems in the story "Dead Man's Path" are that the headmaster didn’t let the people go through the path. Why this happen is all because he didn’t let the villagers use that path to go to the burial grounds. They got mad and did all that to the school to try to make him open the path for them. What they did to the school was that they went and killed all of the flowers and tore down part of the school.

Just because he didn’t let them go through the school yard to get to their burial grounds. What they saw was a school that did not look that good and he thought that it was not good for people to go to school. And the school board closes down the school and fires the headmaster because of how the school looks. All because he didn’t open a path for people to just walk down and do nothing else.

What I thought he should have done is to just let them just go through the school yard. Why I think that they should do that is because nothing would happen to him. Also because this is how those people live and you are taking something away from them that they need. If I want to this school I would be fine with this because they are doing nothing bad. But he didn’t like what he saw and try to change something that he couldn’t change.

"Dead Man’s Path" teaches a great lesson because he shows that when you try to changes something you can’t all ways do it. Because there are many people that might like it and they don’t want that to get change or it is something that they lived by. You should always think about something that you are going to do because the outcome might not be what you might think it will be.

Thank you Ma'ma

Author note: this is about a quote from the book and what is so good about it.

"Um-hum! And your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face for you. Ain’t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?"

What is so good about this is that she wants to bring the boy back her house and want to see if the boy will run or not. So of the examples are when they get to her house she leaves the door open and lets the boy go and see if he will run or not. After the boy washes his face she tells him that she is going to go and cook dinner. And the boy ask it he should go and get some things but she says no and lets him by him self. So she is testing him to see if should run or not. So in this it so that if you trust someone good things will happen.

Dead Man Path

Dead Man Path

Author Note: this is about how when you choose one thing you can think that it is good but it tuns bad for you.

So what happen in the story Dead Man Path is that a new headmaster came into the school. His name was Chinua Achebe and he want to change everything about the school. Like that me want the school to look the best that it could be. He and his wife went and got flowers and other things and put them all around the school to make it look the best it could. So one day Chinua Achebe saw some person one a path that went through the school yard. He got very mad at it and said that he was going to close the path which he did. A couple of day later the village leader came and told Chinua Achebe that he should let people go through. Because it was the only path that went straight throw the village and were the village people burial place. And he still did not open for him so the next day when they got back to the school all the flowers and other things were killed.

So what a main problems in the book dead man path is that the headmasters didn’t let the people go through the path because it went straight through the school yard. Some of things that happen are that the flowers beds were killed and part of the school was torn down. Also that day the school boards came and check it out and saw that it was not such a great school and the headmaster didn’t have a job any more. Why this happen is all because he didn’t let the villager use that path and they got mad and did all that to the school. All he had to do is just let them go through the school yard but he thought that it was bad for the school. And for that all the bad things happen to him.

What I thought he should have done is to just let them just go through the school yard. Why I think that they should do that is because nothing would happen to him. But all the things happen to him because he wants the school to be the best that it could.

Johnny Tremain Vs Ponyboy Curtis

Johnny Tremain vs. Ponyboy

Author note: This is about how Johnny Tremain and Ponyboy are the same and how they are different.

In a lot of books there are characters that are the same but they are in different books. Like in the book Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the book Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes. Which the main charter in those books are Ponyboy from the Outsiders and Johnny from the Book Johnny Tremain. There is many reasons how Ponyboy and Johnny are the same. Such as they’re both great hard workers and will work at it until they get it right. A reason why they are different is that he Johnny has to take care of himself and his family but Ponyboy does not have to take care of many people but he has to take care of himself. Make sure that he does not get himself in trouble and might hurt people or himself. There are a lot more than just that how Johnny Tremain and Ponyboy Curtis are same and how they are different.

To begin with there are many other books out there and they are much alike that have the same characters, but l pick the books Johnny Tremain and The Outsiders. Which are Ponyboy from the Outsiders and Johnny from the book Johnny Tremain. Some of the reason how they are the same is that one is that they both care much about their family and will do anything for them. Like in the Outsiders with Ponyboy and his friend Johnny goes into a fire to save some kids which were on a field trip. When Johnny and Ponyboy got all the kids out on the way out Johnny goy hurt very bad and had to go. At the hospital the doctors did the best that they can but Johnny died. So Ponyboy gets really mad because he thought that it was his fraught that he killed Johnny his best friend

In the book Johnny Tremain Step mom has a baby and she does not care about him The two books that I’m comparing the two characters from are The Outsiders and the main charters is Ponyboy and the other book is Johnny Tremain and the main charter is Johnny Tremain. What happen in each book is that in the Outsiders is that there is two part of two and one is the socs and the rich people and greasers in the other part and the poor part. Ponyboy is part of the greasers and his parents died in a car crash and he just has his two brothers. And in the book Johnny tremain Johnny has to work as a silversmith and when the war happens the guy that he is working for has to go to the war when it is over he has to go and find him. He goes to place to place finds out that he is dead.

Other reasons why they are like is that they alike are that they both have a hard life and will do anything to change and they do the best that they can with it. Like in the outsiders Ponyboy friends dies and he does the best and deal with it. And in the book Johnny has a little sister is very sick and his step mom does not care about it and he tries his best to make his little sister to make it better. How they are different is that they is that Ponyboy is in a gang with his friends and family and Johnny are not and lives with by himself but he is close to his family.

There are many books that have main charters that are the same but are in totally different books. Also there are books that are about the same thing but the main charters are totally different. So that why reading books so good.

Cause and Effect

Author Note: this is about cause and effect and how it can change a person point of view and how it can change the book.


Johnny Tremain, by Esther Forbes is about a young boy that is trying to become a great silversmith and goldsmith. But he is caught up by John Adams and James Otis and their work. Also with the work of there things.
What happen in the book is that the main character is a teenager and is trying to become a great silversmith and goldsmith. So one day he hears that some people are going to broad a birth ship and throw all the tea on broad it to the ocean because they don’t want to play the tax. And he asks if he could help him with it and they tell him that he could. So that night he goes out and does it and from his point of view he thinks that he did a good job and he is helping people.
How cause and effect can change a book is byis that the red coast and how they thought that putting the tax on tea will we make people happy. Because they are getting money from something that they don’t they need to put it on. Also why they put that tax on tea is because a lot of people and they like to drink it. So that how they came out with the idea of putting the tax on tea. And the people that are ready living there thought that it was a bad idea. And that why they board the ship and throw all the tea in the ocean. The red coast thought that they just bi something very bad and the colonist thought that they just did a great thing. How that effect my book is that the main charter is a colonist and does not care about the tax. So he was one of the people that went on the red coast ship and throw some of the tea of board.
Cause and Effect can affect a book a lot like how one person and another person look at it different. That why some book is a great book to read because of the person point of view. That why my is such a good book because of how some one looks at it different that someone else

Author note: This piece is about point of view and how it can change a book.
Point of view plays a big role in a lot of books like how one person can look at one thing and the other person can it I a different way. Like in real life when they did the Boston tea party and the people that did it thought that they did a great job and good thing and the British thought. That they people that did it didn’t care and just throw all the tea in the ocean. Why I bring this up is because this happens in the book that I’m reading for social studies.
What happen in the book is that the main character is a teenager and is trying to become a great silversmith and goldsmith. So one day he hears that some people are going to broad a birth ship and throw all the tea on broad it to the ocean because they don’t want to play the tax. And he asks if he could help him with it and they tell him that he could. So that night he goes out and does it and from his point of view he thinks that he did a good job and he is helping people.
From someone else point of view is that the red coast and how they thought that putting the tax on tea will we make people happy. Because they are getting money from something that they don’t they need to put it on. Also why they put that tax on tea is because a lot of people and they like to drink it. So that how they came out with the idea of putting the tax on tea. And the people that are ready living there thought that it was a bad idea. And that why they board the ship and throw all the tea in the ocean. The red coast thought that they just bi something very bad and the colonist thought that they just did a great thing. How that effect my book is that the main charter is a colonist and does not care about the tax. So he was one of the people that went on the red coast ship and throw some of the tea of board.
Point of view can affect a book a lot like how one person and another person look at it different. That why some book is a great book to read because of the person point of view. That why my is such a good book because of how some one looks at it different that someone else
