Who is the story teller?

  Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like if a story that you liked was told in a different point of view? Well the point of view is an important component in telling a story. It can really change the mood of the reader and the tone of the character. In the story Hoot, a boy named Roy just moved into town. He is new to school and already has some enemies.  Roy also has some good friends that are nice most of the time; however, they do get him stuck in some tough situations.

  In the story “Hoot” when Roy was on the bus going to school he saw a kid running without any shoes on so when the bus stopped he ran after him. Roy followed the boy into the woods because he had never seen a random kid running without any shoes on. Roy became curious about this kid because out of all the people that he had seen he has never seen someone like that.

  Since the story is told from Roy’s point of view there would be different feelings toward others. For example Roy may think that Mullet Fingers is a bad kid because he is doing bad things like vandalizing property. But if it were to be told from Beatrix’s point of view then she might think that he isn’t because he is her brother and that he is just fighting for what he thinks is right.

  Also if the story were to have been told in Mullet Fingers point of view than he might have different opinions than Roy. For example Mullet fingers might think that it is ok to vandalize private property to protest. But Roy might think that it is wrong because you can get in some big trouble if you do.

  The point of view can really change the events in the story and how the reader thinks about the other characters. This because some characters may have a good or bad back round with others may influence what the reader thinks about characters.

The Coolest Game Ever

By: Zachary Maderski

  I woke up in a hurry already thinking about what to do. I got in the shower, brushed my teeth, and ate my breakfast. Now I could just sit down and do what I love. Play probably the best game ever, Realm of the Mad God.

  In my head I was thinking to myself, step one close the blinds, step two turn on my computer, step three sit down and relax and get ready to fight monsters like I always do.

  I am using a knight because they are really strong and have a lot of defense which means that you take less damage to your guy. I have been saving a bunch of good stuff for my knight in my vault like a T10 sword, a T4 shield, a T12 armor, and a T4 ring of speed ( the higher the T the better the item is).

 Before I went into a dungeon I called up one of my friends and asked him if he wanted to play with me and we could level up faster and kill more monsters. I called up my friend Jacob to see if he could play with me. He said yes but, he would be on in about ten minutes. I decided to go on without him and maybe will find each other later.

  I went into the dungeon named Ogre because it had more people in it and it is easier to fight monsters. Since I teleported to the god lands where the harder monsters are because you can get better items there. I found a small group of people with a priest (the only character that can heal himself and other people around him).

  As we were running around the god lands, we ran into one of the hardest monsters of them all, the Cube God. It was like five times the size of me and can almost kill you in one hit. Plus it had forty other minions running around it. We talked with one another and we decided that we could do it.

  We killed about 20 of its minions right of the bat but we had to hurry because it can keep regenerating them. When we charged it directly he shot at us about two to three times. Everyone made it out except for one who died almost instantly. After we dodged his shots I hit him with my sword about eight times witch probably did 2400 damage to him.

  By now he had about three fourths health left including the other people’s attacks. Then all of a sudden there was a gravestone with Jacob’s name on it and shortly after I got a call from him saying that he just died and I started laughing. But then he hung up.

It’s been about five minutes now and he is almost dead. I when into the chat box and told everybody to use their special moves on him in three, two, one, boom there was flash of colors. It was a little like fireworks, reds and blues lines shooting all over the place, it was great. And their lying on the ground was one of the rarest items in the game a dagger called the Dirk of Kronos. I grabbed it and then left to the Nexes ( which is the only place where there aren’t monster) and put it in my vault. This was truly the happiest moment I have ever had playing Realm of the Mad God.

He is new to school and already has some enemies.  Roy also has some good friends that are nice most of the time; however, they do get him stuck in some tough situations.

  In the story “Hoot” there are three main characters.  The story would have been a whole lot different if it were told from another character’s point of view. The story is being told from Roy’s point of view which changes the tone and events of the story. For example Roy is normally ether at school or at his house, or running around with Beatrix, or at the construction site where they are going to dig up the owl’s home.

  One example would be that since Mullet Fingers lives in the woods than most of the story and events that took place woods. Instead of talking about Roy at his day at school I would be about Mullet Fingers day catching snakes. The tone of the story would be much different to because it would probably be told in a different person.

  Another example is if the story were to be told from Beatrix’s point of view. But some of the story would be the same as Roy’s point of view because they are together throughout most of the story and if it weren’t for Beatrix and Mullet Fingers than Roy wouldn’t have heard about the awls house being dug up.

  As you can see from my examples, the point of view can change the tone and events of a story. It can change the tone because certain characters may have a different tone than others, and they aren’t always going to be in the same spot as everybody else. They have their own activities so that is how it can change the events.

  For example since Mullet Fingers lives in the woods most of the story and events that took place in the story would have been in the woods. Instead of talking about Roy at his day at school I would be about Mullet Fingers day catching snakes or when he was running and maybe saw a strange boy being choked on a bus watching him through the bus window.

The Patriot vs The Fighting Ground

By: Zach Maderski

  I am going to tell you some similarities and differences  between the main character from the book The Fighting Ground and Gabriel one of the main characters from the movie The Patriot. In the story The Fighting Ground the main character Jonathan runs away from home to go fight in the war. Later on in the story Jonathan gets caught by some hessian soldiers and they keep him captive for most of the story but later on he escaped and found his group of soldiers again. In the movie “The Patriot” the oldest son Gabriel Martin leaves his family to go fight in the war. Later on in the story Gabriel met up with his dad and fought throughout the rest of the war.

Gabriel and Jonathan both have some similarities and differences. Here is one big similarity between them they are both very brave for example Gabriel was probably  the most brave because in the movie Gabriel risked his life almost every time he went into battle and went up against the leader of the Hessian army. Jonathan was very brave to because he went to fight in the war when e was only a young teen and them got captured by three Hessian soldiers and gained their trust in him.

Another similarity that they both have is that they both really wanted to go and join the army. Gabriel wanted to go to war almost ever since it started but after awhile a begging his dad he finally said yes to him. Now Jonathan was a different story because Jonathan always dreamed of being in battle and was always asking his dad if he could but when Jonathan herd the bell that called all men to arms then he just went without asking.

Despite many similarities between the two of them they also have many differences. One big differences is that Gabriel dies towards the end of the movie. He died trying to kill the Hessian leader and he almost did but he stabbed Gabriel in the chest and surprised him. Now Jonathan almost died when they were shooting at the Hessians the guy right next to him got killed but Jonathan doesn’t get killed throughout the whole book.

Even though Jonathan from the book The Fighting Ground and Gabriel from the movie The Patriot very similar and different in many ways. 

Theme/ Main idea of Hoot

Theme/Main idea of Hoot

Author’s note: I wrote about this to tell people that confidence can lead you down the right path almost all the time in life and with almost everything else.

 

In life you will encounter tough situations and you will need the confidence to overcome it but you will never really get anywhere in life if you don’t have confidence to do it. In the story “Hoot”, written by the author Carl Hiaasen, the main idea is confidence.

 

In the story Roy (one of the main characters) makes some very tough decisions, some of which can mean getting arrested. In the story Roy and one of his friends Beatrix lie to Roy’s parent’s and say that they are doing a science project, but instead they went out and snuck into restricted property. They met up there with Beatrix’s step brother that Roy barley knows and fed some owls inside the property.

Later on in the story Roy and Beatrix went to see Beatrix’s step brother in an abandoned ice cream truck,  but when they found him he had some really bad and infected dog bights. They knew that they had to get him somewhere fast or the bight marks would get really bad. Roy took Beatrix’s step brother to the hospital but in order to protect his identity he used Roy’s name instead and lied to the doctor. Roy said that his name was Tex His plan was going perfectly well until Roy’s parents showed up and then he got in some big trouble.

At school Roy gets bullied a lot but it is mostly on the bus. One day on the bus to school one of the biggest bullies in the school sat right behind Roy when the bus stopped. Once the bus started moving again he said to Roy that he was going to kill him after school because about a week ago Roy had punched him in the face and broke his nose. Roy turned around and said that he seemed a little stressed out and that he could take out his anger out on him right now. Roy was confident and in a way stood up to him but he just got punched in the face and head like three to four times.

Another story that has confidence as its main idea is Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian. In this story Percy has to lead and army of demigods into battle and to protect the Empire State building from monsters. Confidence was  key here because without it he wouldn’t be able to lead and army into battle, or battle an army of monsters, and even battle titans by himself. 

Prediction piece

By: Jeff Kinney

  Greg Heffley, a kid that doesn’t always make the best decisions. There are times in his life when he has the opportunity to do something good but then tries it his own way but then messes it up and then someone will hate him for it. In this book he will mess things up to.

  I think that at the end of the story Greg will mess things up with his date by saying or doing something and then she will just go to the dance with Rowley instead. I think that that will happen because in almost every book Greg will do something and it will mess everything up. Also because when Greg, Rowley, and Greg’s date were at the restaurant and in the car Rowley and Greg’s date were laughing and having a good time while Greg was just sitting there doing nothing.

 

 

  It was probably the worst day of my life so after the dance I went into my room and thought about my life for a while. I never realized it till now but I always mess things up when a good opportunity comes my way. I don’t know why but for some reason everything that is given to me is never enough and I have to change it.

  I thought about this and decided to make an apology letter to all of the people that I remember doing something mean to or messed something up that affected them or that was there’s. I worked on the list for about two weeks and then I just forgot about it and dropped the idea because there were just too many people.

  Later the next day at school I found out that Rowley was going out with my X-girlfriend. I was still pretty mad that she dumped me for Rowley I mean no offence to Rowley but I mean he is like still a little kid. I am just happy that nobody found out that she dumped me for Rowley otherwise almost everybody in school would find out and my life would be ruined forever.

  It was finally Saturday and no more school so I decided to play some video games for awhile . That awhile turned into four hours of just video games and no brakes. When I was finally finished it was 9:30 so I decided to go to bed and I fell asleep like five seconds after I laid down.

  The next day I called Rowley to see if he wanted to hang out but his dad said that he wasn’t in the mood to play so I had to wait until Monday to ask him what was going on. I thought that it was really weird that he didn’t want to tell me what was up but it’s not that big a deal.

  It was Monday my most hated day of the week because it was back to school. The first thing I did was ask Rowley what was wrong. He told me that he would have to tell me after school because it was a long story.

  Me and Rowley met up after school and he looked a little nervous. He said that he was going to make it short and to the point, his girl friend dumped him. I wasn’t too surprised but still I thought she really liked him. I asked him why and he said that she came over to his house and when she saw the stuff that he had like clothes and toys she said that she couldn’t date someone like him anymore. She just couldn’t be with someone that still acts like a little kid and then she left.

  It sounded pretty harsh especially for Rowley. I felt kind of bad for trying to get I out of him but oh well it done and over with.

  Today is the last day of school so I asked my mom if I could just skip and she said yes. This was a little weird because my mom never lets me stay home from the last day of school. I thought that this was a pretty good year of school. I just hope that next year is better.
