It's All About Character!



We have been reading books in class for our new writing program, Writing Fundamentals. Some of the books we have read are The Old Woman Who Named Things, Shrek!, "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate, and Charlie Anderson. We have been discussing how it is important that the author creates characters that keep the audience interested in reading the book. I would love to hear which one of these books were your favorite AND which character interested you the most in the book. Tell me what made that character so interesting to you. What or who do you think inspired the author to create that character? I will share my opinions at the end of this week! : )

Hola MS.Brown!What's up.So I saw the class pics.Finally there up.Well my favorite book is shrek. It was funny!!!!But hideous. That's what's funny.I also liked the old women who named things. It's cool how she names things. It was kind of sad when the woman told the sad dog to leave.Maybe the author knew a women who did that too.Shrek is for laughter & entertainment.That's all

I think the most interesting character was Shrek.I though he was the most interesting because he was always gross until he met the the ugly princes.I think the author wrote this because maybe he wanted to tell a story to his kids. Then after,he wrote it in a book. Well,that is all I have to say. See you soon.
