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 to back up your opinion. Please read my example below. I look forward to your comments!
Your teacher,
Ms. Blackmon
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.
Artemis fowl and Itch are two diffrent charaters but they are alike, they are almost all ways in the face of danger,and all ways to do some thing. but the are also diffrant,like Itch is a element hunter and Artemis is a crimanl mastermind.I enjoy reading there books.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. First they both love each other and are both demigods. Percy is Poseidon's son while Annabeth is Athena's daughter. They are both on the same quest and they both have fallen into Tartarus. But Percy isn't as smart as Annabeth. Annabeth however isn't a hero like Percy.
ReplyDeleteNikki Maxwell and Meckenzie Hollister are two different girls. Nikki has a little sister and Meckenzie is an only child. Nikki is very quarky girl while Meckenzie is the most popular girl at school.They are both pretty, girls, and are both good kids. I really injoy reading the dork diary serious.
ReplyDeleteI'm comparing Sophie and Agatha from the book The School for Good and Evil. Here are some of reasons that they are similar. They are similar because they both live in the same town until they are both taken to the school for good and evil. They both think its all messed up but at the end I think its was the way it was sopposed to work. Here are some ways that their different. Sophie was pretty and nice and Aggie was ugly and rude. But somehow Aggie ended up going to the school for good and Sophie went to the school for evil. But they turned into the people that each school had. They both changed alot.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson from the Percy Jackson series and Annabeth Chase from the Percy Jackson series, are similar in many ways! For example, they are both adventurous and fight all kinds of mythical beasts with greater power than them. Don't forget they have differences too! For example, Percy is a son of Poseidon while Annabeth is a daughter of Athena also, Percy uses a sword and Annabeth uses a knife. I love reading the intense Percy Jackson series.
ReplyDeleteMy two Characters are Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, both from the series Harry Potter. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are simaler because both Ron and Harry are from the same book. They are both friends with Hermione, I know they are friends with Hermione because in the first book (Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone) all three of them met on the Hogwarts train and became friends. I know they are friends because in the first book it said, " Harry was enjoying the ride on the train with his two new friends." Some differences they have is that Harry's parents left him a huge fortune in Gringotts (the bank), unlike Ron whose parents are poor. Also Harry's parents are dead meanwhile Ron's are very alive. Often times Ron gets jelous of all the attention Harry gets, in other words Ron has had a lot of peanut butter and jelous sandwhiches.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson and Leo Valdez are in the Heroes of Olympus. They are on a quest to close the doors of death. Percy fell down Tartarus with Annabeth. Now Leo has to go into the deep depths of Tartarus. That is the only way they can close the doors of death. Percy is a son of Poseidon but Leo is a son of Hephaestus.

Peter from the fudge book's and Harriet from Harriet the spy. the similarities with both character's are they both live in New York I know this because in the fudge book's they say that he live's in New York and same with Harriet. Anther thing is they are they both are in 6th grade I know this because they told me in the fudge book's and in Harriet the spy they said she was 11 and at most school's you are 11 in 6 or 5 grade. The difference between the 2 character's are Peter is a boy and Harriet is a girl. Anther is Harriet does not have any sibling and Peter has 2 sibling's. One more is Peter does not have a lot of friend'sand Harriet had friend's before what happened in the book. Even thout these character's have some things the same there are very different.

ReplyDeleteJason and David are both from the book Rules, by Cynthia Lord. They are both alike because they are young boys who have a disability. They both have loving parents that take them to a physical therapist every day. Even though they have many similarities, they also have some differences. David has blonde hair and blue eyes, while Jason has brown bangs with green eyes. Jason also can't talk, and has a word book to show what he needs. David can walk perfectly, but has mental problems. For example, he pulled down his pants in public, twice!!!!! On the other hand, Jason has thin bones and has to be in a wheelchair his whole life. I find both characters very unique and I can't wait to see what they do next!!!
ReplyDeleteMaline and April from the Egypt Game are both young girls that live in the same apartment. They are very similar in many ways.

Maline has lived in the apartment for her whole life, on the other hand April just moved from Hollywood. April has a mother but lives with her grandmother, and Maline lives with her mother, father, and little brother. Maline has darker skin than April, but still April and Maline share many positive qualities.

ReplyDeleteMy two characters I am comparing and contrasting are Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson series and Total from Timmy Failure.There are very few similarities because one is polar bear while the other is a human. The one similarity I found was that they are characters from well known series. I found a bunch of differences. Total is a polar bear while Percy is a human. Percy is from New York while Total is from the Arctic. Total is fat. Percy is average weight. Total lives in a regular world while Percy lives in a world with Greek Gods. I love reading both books and reading about their adventures.
