Reading Log Wednesday October 20, 2010
 * 1) The conflict in __Where The Red Fern Grows__ is when Billy, Grandpa, and His Father enter a coon hunt championship; Billy cannot see or hear his dogs over the terrible blizzard winds.
 * 2) My favorite character is Billy because he doesn't give up until he gets what he wants; no matter how long it takes to get it. Billy is a protagonist, he's major, and static. "I told you, Grandpa," I said, "I was saving money so I could buy two hound pups, and I did."
 * 3) Learn to write with more of a view like you are there watching as you are writing every movement.
 * 4) Adoration- I was well repaid by the love and adoration I saw in the wide blue eyes of my three little sisters. POS:Noun. Definition:D eep love or esteem.
 * 5) I would like to use it as a class book commercial because it's very descriptive with a lot to talk about.

﻿Wednesday October 27, 2010 > "What's the point? You know it all by heart, we can just ask you." Ron is the Protagonist, he's major, and Static.
 * 1) The conflict in __Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone﻿__ is when Harry attempts to stop Voldemort, who killed Harry’s parents, from stealing the Sorcerer’s Stone. The pain that Harry feels at the end of Chapter 7 when Snape stares at him hints that there is some underlying tension between Harry and Snape.
 * 2) My favorite character is Ron Weasley.Shy and modest, Ron is Harry’s first friend at Hogwarts.Ron’s willingness to be beaten up by the monstrous chess queen shows how selfless and generous he is. [Hermione] "Aren't you two ever going to read //Hogwarts: A History//?"
 * 1) Write on a subject that interests the reader.
 * 2) occult //adj.// Beyond the realm of human comprehension.
 * 3) I would do this book as a book commercial because J.K Rowling gives so much detail it would be an easy book.

 * 1) The main character Hutch gets moved from shortstop, Which was his main position for 9 years. Now a new kid joins the team named Daryll and made Hutch move to 2nd base and Cody (Hutch's best friend) move to right field.
 * 2) Cody is very honest. "It felt good?" Cody said. "that was the best you could do?" (Pg.49) He is major, static, and Protag.
 * 3) To give a helpful life lesson.
 * 4) Translator- N. a person or machine that translates speech or writing.mybe you should think about getting a translator.
 * 5) I would like to use this as a book commercial because this book makes reading fun so I think the project would be too.
 * 1) What was the conflict (label and explain) of one book you are reading? If you are reading non-fiction, what was the main idea? The main character Walter has to go to a condo to live and everybody thinks he is Jewish.
 * 2) Describe your favorite character (or fact if reading non-fiction). Be sure to use character trait words, character descriptor label (antag/protag, major/minor, static/dynamic), and specific details. Also, use a quote from the book to show when they are exhibiting their traits. If reading non-fiction, discuss and name the organization pattern along with a specific quote that backs up your discussion. Walter is the protagonist he’s major and dynamic. He is protective. “I’m – not – a – Jew!” Pg.115
 * 3) 3. What was an interesting author’s secret you noticed that you will try in your own writing? Write on a subject everybody can relate to and enjoy.
 * 4) New Word: Pick a new word you learned from this week’s reading. Write the sentence to show how it was used. What does it mean? What part of speech is it? Deliberately- characterized by or resulting from careful and thorough consideration
 * 5) Is this a book you want to do for a class book commercial and why? I would because baseball is my favorite sport.
