Dear Readers,
You have learned how to compare and contrast different topics like apples and oranges; boas and pythons; TV or no TV (gasp!). Next, I would like you to take it a step further and compare and contrast your reading. You may choose two storybook characters and tell me how they are similar and different. Be sure to include text evidence in your response. Please read my example below. I look forward to your comments!
Your teacher,
Ms. B
Harry Potter from the Harry Potter Series and Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson Series, are two very well-know storybook characters. Harry and Percy are similar because they are both young boys who face great dangers, and demonstrate courage. They both battle forces greater than themselves, but triumph in the end. Also, they are both characters from popular book series.Harry and Percy both have the help of their friends like, Hermione and Annabeth to help them along the way. Although Harry and Percy are alike, they also have some significant differences. For example, Harry is an orphan, but Percy's mother is still alive. Harry deals with the world of wizards and Percy lives in a world of Greeks Gods and myths. I find both characters to be interesting and unique. I enjoy reading about their adventures.
In my book there is fog and the fog is evil the main character Justin he and his sister Mira try to get out of the fog. I think that Justin is brave because he does not back down from a fight and his sister Mira is small and weak and can`t do a lot I can`t wait to read more of these books!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFootball Genius and Football Hero are two very similar books. Because Ty and Troy are two young kids who love Football and has always wanted to be a professional football player. They both are the heroes of their football team. They are both inspired by a Professional football player. Ty is inspired by his brother Thane or Tiger. Troy is inspired by Seth Halloway. Ty and Troy are two similar kids that love the same things.
ReplyDeleteI choose two charecters,Carter from The Kane Chronicles and Jason from Heroes of Olympus. They both are alike because they both use swords, they both have to fight deadly monsters and people, they both usually almost destroy the world. They are different because Carter deals with egyptian gods and mythology and Jason has to deal with greek gods and mythology.
ReplyDeleteIn the Harry Potter Series and the Enola Holmes Series, they both have lots in common. Enola Holmes goes on many adventures to save things or help people. Harry Potter also finds adventures for himself while he is also saving something important or helping someone. There are also many things that different from eachother, like Enola has a whole family of a mother father, and brothers, but Harry only has a aunt and uncle. Enola also has no magic in her world, so she helps people with her protecHarry is in a land of magic were he cqan protect himself with unhuman forces. I think these books are all very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIN the Book 'Rules' Catherine has allot of stress on her. For example when she has to take care of her little brother David who has Autism Catherine gets frustrated but she has to be patient. In the Book 'Wish Stealers' Griffin is under alot of stress too. For example when she has to return all of these stolen wishes Griffin has to be Patient but she gets frustrated.One Example of comparing them is Griffin is a wish Stealer and Catherine is not. Catherine has a little brother and Griffin does not.
ReplyDeleteRick is a boy an he likes to try and find monsters. Leah is a girl who wants to stay out of trouble. They both break the rules and try to find the mega monster.They both get up in the middle of the night and hide in a bush hunting for the mega monster,but the mega monster is hunting for them.
ReplyDeleteGreg from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and Nate from the Big Nate series are very similar characters. They both have very mean teachers. They both have annoying siblings always getting them into trouble. They also like to draw cartoons. There are also different then one another.Greg has two brothers and Nate has one sister. Greg hates sports and Nate likes sports. I like both books the same and I like reading them.
ReplyDeleteHiccup from the How To Train Your Dragon books and Greg from the Diary of a Wimpy kid books. They are the same because they are both young, they are not strong, have a best friend that is a little weird. they are different because Hiccup has a dragon and Greg does not, Greg has brothers and Hiccup does not, Hiccup goes on dangerous adventures and Greg does not. I like reading them because they are fiction books.
ReplyDeleteGreg and Rodrick from the diary of a whimpy kid series there differnt and alike in a lot of ways for example,Greg likes to play video games and Rodrick likes to play music with his band.Rodrick likes to watch TV on the couch all day and Greg likes to stay in bed and sleep all day.Greg and Rodrick are also alike in a lot of ways for example,they both like to stay inside all day,They both hate school,They both hate to read,and they both don't like to go outside.They also fight on a lot of things too like who has to take care of there little brother Manny today and who gets the TV first.So there alike and differnt in a lot of ways.
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter from the Harry otter series, and Esperanza from Esperanza Rising. Harry and Esperanza are very differnt characters. Esperanza is from me mexico and has a wonderfull life till every thing goes rong which this story could come true, and Harry is from a magical with dragons and wand so that story could never come true. How they are the same is Harry lost his father and mother when Voldemort attacked, and Esperanza her father died when her father went to fix things on the ranch bandits attacked and killed her father. That is how I would compare my two characters.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I am comparing is pen's and pencil's. The things that are alike are they are both used fro writing, they both are used for hands that is how they are used, you use both of these things in a daily life day, they both can be big or small, and they both can run out. Witch means a pencil's lead can break or it can run out because you have used it to much. And fro the pen it can run out of ink. And for the things that are different about the pen's and pencil's are a pencil can be broken easily and a pen can't really get broken, a pencil can not be like shut down and when I say that I mean that you can like CLICK a pen and the writing part that you write with goes away but, that is not the way a pencil works,and last but not least they both one is made of wood and the pen is not. I both like using both of these things!!!
ReplyDeleteGastav Gloom, from Gastav Gloom and the People Taker,and Ida B from Ida B, both of them are vary adventerest kids, who are have really no firends util people interdous them self to them. they both have people in there book who move in next door, And that changes there life forever. But they still have thing that are not so simalur. like Gastav Gloom is a boy and Ida B is a girl. Gastav Gloom is a sad boy and lives with no reltives. on the other hand Ida B has a mother a dad. Gastav Gloom is a sad boy but Ida b is happy, most of the time.
ReplyDeletethey have there diffentce and there simalaruties. but I sitll love both of these books.
I use Katniss from the Hunger Games and Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia. Katniss and Aslan are the same because they both fight for the things they love. They are also different because Aslan is a lion and Katniss is a human and a girl. Another reason they are the same because they only fight when they need to. They both fight for Good friends or their family's. Another way that they are different is because Aslan rules Narnia and Katniss doesn't rule anything. One other way they are also the same is that they never loose a fight. Aslan and Katniss are different because Katniss fights with a bow and arrow and Aslan fights with his roar and his teeth. They both sacrifice them selves to save the ones the love.
ReplyDeleteI meant I used katniss from the Hunger Games and Alsan form The Chronicles of Narnia.
DeleteNarnia and Harry Potter are very simalar because they both go in to a magical land, and do not have any parents to take care of them They are different because HarryPotter was meening to go in to the magical land, but lucy was not she was just playing hide and go seek, and ended up in Narnia.
ReplyDeleteElla from Ella Enchanted and Lucy From The Chronicles of Narnia, are two nice, curious, young, and fun loving girls. They both live in enchanting worlds with lots of magic. They are different because Lucy really lives in our world, but she finds her way into Narnia and becomes friends with many different animals and creatures. Ella has a spell cast on her that makes her do anything anybody tells her to do. I have loved reading about them.
ReplyDeleteRudi Johnson from the book 2007 superstars and LanDainian Tomlinson from the book 2007 superstars.
ReplyDeleteThey are both the same color and are both running backs. L.T. is a 221 pound package. Rudi is a 220 pound package. L.T. played for the San Diego Chargers and Rudi played for the Cincinnati Bengals. L.T. won the MVP and Rudi had 1,458 rushing yards.
Harry Potter and Katniss Everdeen. Those are the 2 characters I will be commenting about. They go through tough challenges that they might die in. Another trait of them is, they both have AMAZING books and movies. These are 2 of my favorite characters from 2 of my favorite books.
ReplyDeleteRamona and Beezus.
ReplyDeletethey both don't like each other they both like animals they both think each other is annoying
Ramona does crazy stuff Beezus does not do crazy stuff
Beezus does not get in trouble Ramona does get in trouble
I used Miranda from the book When I reach you and Floss from Candy Floss. Miranda and Floss are alike because they both only have one parent. Miranda has a mom and Floss has a Dad.Another reason is that they both do not live in a very safe place. Miranda lives in a part of town where people get beat-up, and Floss lives in a place where people die. They are different because their skin is a different color. Miranda's skin color is dark brown, and Floss is pale. Another reason is that they have different socal lives. Miranda has a few friends, and Floss's friends are teddy bears.
ReplyDeleteRodrick from the diary of a wimpy kid series and Greg also from the diary of a wimpy kid series are alike in some ways and different in some ways to. For example, Rodrick and Greg are in the same family but they do not get along. They are different Because Rodrick is older than Greg and is in a band and Greg is not. They are also the same because they are both trouble makers.
ReplyDeleteJason from the book The Lost Hero and Piper from The Lost Hero are both half bloods or dimi Gods half God mortal Jason has some weird tatoos and piper was affected by the mist that can change memories and make magic things like a dragon just look like a pile of cables they both like each other but Jason can only remember waking up on the bus they both go to the same camp and some kind of problem like ADHD to keep them restless for battle or war.
ReplyDeleteIn the book The Girl Who Could Fly Piper is the main character. In the Bad Beginning in the series of unfortunate events Violet is one of the main characters. The things that make them different is Piper has a super power and Violet is just a regular girl. Also Violet has sibling s and her parents died,but as for Piper she has no siblings but her parents are alive. They also have things that are the same like they are kind, girls, and have brown hair.I have had a lot of fun reading the two books very much!
ReplyDeleteI am comparing Catherine and Hank. They are both very different because Catherine is an Iguana and it is Hank's,Hank is human. Catherine is a lot smaller than Hank in many ways. Here are some of them lay eggs, runs on two feet,two arms, four legs, and spikes on the back. Here are some more has a tail, both of them walk, born from stomach.
ReplyDeleteMax and Rocky are both from the book the last dogs. Max and Rocky are both dogs and they both are looking for there people. Max will do anything to get to his people. Rocky? Well, he just wants to stay with the kibble and wait.
ReplyDeleteLucy from the book The lion, the which, and the wardrobe and Junie B. from the Junie B Jones series have a lot of similarities and a lot of differences. Junie B. and Lucy are both creative little girls. They both have a very large imagination. Now the differences. Junie B. has a stuffed elephant for a best friend. Lucy has a real lion. Junie B. is very obnoxious. Lucy is very sweet, quiet, and calm.
ReplyDeleteNicholas and Dee are similar because they both know magic and are very old. They are almost opposite also because Dee is evil and Nicholas is nice. Also their auras smell different. Dee's aura smells like sulfur, but Nicholas's aura smells like mint.
ReplyDeleteIda B and Katniss, from The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are to different characters from two different books. Ida B is from the country and Katniss is from District 12. Katniss is in need of help because she is in The Hunger Games. It's a big deal when you could possibly die in front of the camera! Ida B on the other hand has a fight going on between her and her parents because she has been home schooled for about 5 years. She has always hated school, and now she is going to school in 4th grade. Her teacher, Ms. Washington is a really nice teacher,but Ida B is trying to hold that part in. They are alike when Ida B stood up and said, "Get out of here, this is my house, my property, get out!" and Katniss said, "I don't like Petta, I really don't!". They both stood up for themselves.
ReplyDelete(Blackjack and Wish stealers)In Blackjack Heather is really sad and stressed because she lost her horse and trying to find a way to get her horse back while she is worried about chancy who had a heart attack. In Wish stealers Griffin is sad and stressed because she has to return all the wishes and fast. Also because it is hard to have a lot of stress and not be able to tell any one.
ReplyDeleteRodrick and Greg are from the book Dairy of a Wimpy Kid. They are the same because they are lazy. They are different because Rodrick can drive.
ReplyDeleteCount Olaf is mean to the children, and he has a plan to get their fortune by marring the oldest child named Violet, and if Violet doesn't marry Count Olaf he will kill her younger sister by droping her sister off a 30 foot billding.
ReplyDeleteI think Big Nate and Diary of a Wimpy kid are very similar books. Because Nate and Greg are very similar characters. Both books are very funny. The characters Nate and Greg both face a lot of humiliation like in Big Nate Strikes Again when Nate is looking at the baby poster he says "Look at that baby it is so cute I know who she it is Jenny the prettiest girl in the school." But it is actually GINA the most annoying girl in the school. So Gina humiliates him in front of a big crowd. In Rodrick Rules. They are going to church Greg realizes that he has a big brown spot on his pants, so he has to wear his moms sweater. They are walking up the walkway, and Rodrick steps on it because it is dragging on the, and it comes off, and Greg gets really mad. I enjoy these books because they are really funny.
