Dear Readers,
You have learned how to compare and contrast different topics like nonfiction and fiction; 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 as well as signal words (which I have bolded below). Please read my example below. I look forward to your comments!
Your teacher,

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. In addition, Harry and Percy 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.
Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games Series and Bud from Bud Not Buddy are similar because they are both very poor. They also both cherish things from home. Katniss and Bud are different because Katniss hunts and Bud does not hunt. Bud has no mother or siblings. Katniss has one sister and she has a other. I really like both of these books.
ReplyDeleteLily from Lily's crossing, and Margaret from Willow Run are very similar. In fact, they are both best friends! They both like candy, and they both also like movies. Their family's are also alike. Both dads are in the army, and they also work at factories. I like both characters, and how they think. I really like reading about them.
DeleteDereck from my life as a book and Will from rangers apprentince are alike becuase they are both teens. They are also diffrent because Will is an orphan and Dereck is not. But both characters face hard things. Like will having to save his masters life and Dereck going to summer school. I liked both books.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson and Jason Grace is who I will compare and contrast today.Percy and Jason are both brave and smart. But I think Percy is more heroic. Percy father is Poseidon and Jason's dad is Zeus and Zeus and Poseidon are brothers and both very very powerful.Also Jason's girlfriend is Piper and Percy's is Annabeth.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson and Reynie Muldoon are simalar. I think they are alike because they are brave. I think they are brave because the will step up and do any thing. One example of Percy being brave is when he tells Annebeth and Rachel that he is going to spy on Kronos. An example of Reynie being brave is when he says yes to go on a mission that he coulddie on.
ReplyDeleteJared and Simon are my two characters. Jared gets in gets in trouble a lot Simon on the other and is very nice. Jared is curious and only is interested in magical but Simon any pet he can find he will love the author states that he sleeps with the pets he finds and he is nervous a lot. They both are in the same grade and also in the same family.
ReplyDeleteMississippi Beaumont from Savvy and Lucy Penny Kettle from Fire star have similar things as well as differences. For example, they both have bad things happen in their lives. Mississippi has her dad die and Lucy gets taken away from her mom. A difference they have would be that Mississippi has 3 brothers and Lucy is an only child. I enjoyed both these books!
ReplyDeleteJason from the Beyonders series and Seth from the Fablehaven series are similar because they both like to joke around and do dangerous things.They also both have a crush on a girl in the books.They are different because Seth has a sibling and Jason does not.I love these two series.

ReplyDeletePercy Jackson from the Percy Jackson and Greg from Dairy of a wimpy kid have simularaties and drifranaces. For example Percy and Greg both have friends but Percy fights monsters and Greg tries to get popular. I would not wan't to know if both characters met each other.
ReplyDeleteRamona from the Ramona series and Clementine from the Clementine series they are similar because they both get in trouble and they both make up their own words. Clementine is different because her friend is in a different grade, and Clementine has red hair. Also Clementine has a younger brother. Ramona is different from because her friend is in the same grade as her, and she has brown hair. Also Ramona has a older sister.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. They are both alike in some ways and diffrent in other ways. For example Percy is a half - blood same with Annabeth. They both have. fight dangerous monsters too. They are also similar because their parent are Gods They are unlike too for example Annabeth has long and blonde Percy has the opposite.
ReplyDeleteDavid Rain from Last Dragon Chronicles and Harry Potter from the Harry Potter series. They are both alike in many ways. For example, David Fights a witch like thing that is trying to bring the last dragon back to life. Harry Potter fights with a evil worlock who is trying to kill him. Harry Potter is an orphan at a school of magic. David Rain on the other hand has parents and goes to college. These two characters are alike and different in many ways.
ReplyDeleteOpal and Annabelle.Opal is from Because of Winn-Dixie and Annabelle is from The Meanist doll in the world. They are very alike because they both have great hearts. The both care more about others than them self. Opal and Annabelle are different because Annabelle is a doll and opal is not. Opal does not have a mommy and Anna belle has no parents. I love both of these books.
