week 3 book blog

 (Be sure to include quote and page number!!)

You must use at LEAST 2 quotes from the book.
Understanding your character is a good way for you to really get into your book and see from another person's perspective. In your response this week, describe your character. Think about and discuss:
-1. your main character's personality
- 2. how they act/behave
- 3. what they look like
- 4. how old they are
- 5 what sort of education do you think that they have
- 6 who their friends and family are
- 7 what their financial (money) situation is
- 8 and what their job is (if they have one).

    Right now I am on the last chapter of Sounder by William H. Armstrong. My main character is a brave young boy. He left home to look for his dad and his dog, by him self in a in another city where he doesn't know anyone there. His dad was capture for some reason, it doesn't said it in the book. Sounder  (The dog) ran after the people that capture the boy dad. My main character in my book be have very nice. Even though he don't have a high education but he always give people good respect. My character have a very dark skin, he have very short hair, that's all I know because they never describe the boy in the book. So I just try my best to describe the boy by the cover. My main character is about my age, he is 14 years old. He have to walk for 3 miles to get to school. This boy doesn't have much education, be cause his school is too far for walking and his mom don't want him to walk that far. He said his family has four member, his mom, his dad, him, and Sounder. But he already lost 2 member of his family. This boy is very poor, in the book they don't talk about how the family get money but to get food, they have to hunt for animals. Their job is to hunt, the mom stay at home and do the house work, the dad and the boy and Sounder have to go hunt. The dad and the boy kills animals, Sounder help them find animals and sometime kills small animal like a squirrel or a rat. On this last chapter I'm pretty sure the boy going to find his dad and Sounder and they live haply ever after... Or not. I'm just predicting.

Week 2 Book Blog

Review the book description found on the back cover of your book. Using the information, and this information alone, construct two alternate titles for the book that appeal to you.Pick one of the two titles and create a catch phrase and movie poster. Describe (using language that will explain what you are talking about so that we can "see" it) the movie poster to sell the new titled novel.

        Right now I am finishing the book call Sounder. Now my teacher told me to make a movie poster for this book, and also give two new tittle for the book base on the back of the book.


Alternative title #1: The Lost Dog


Alternative title #2: The Forest


    For the catch phrase I would say " don't get lost looking for a lost thing" I don't know if this make scene to you guys but it just pop in my head so I write it down.

    If I have to make a movie poster it would look like the description as followed. On the top of the book it would be orange sky (dawn). On the left of the book would be a forest cover in black ink and there is a white ink dog in the middle of he forest. On the left side of the book would be a boy with white ink and a black back ground. At the bottom of the book would be the tittle with Italics and with white ink.
