First, as always, provide the title and author of your book and what page you are on and the total number of pages in your book. If you have just started a new SSR book, answer this question about the book you most recently finished. Then, explain the point of view through which your book is told. Is it first person or third person? If it is third person, does the author only tell the thoughts of one character, or can he/she get inside many characters' heads? Next, explain how the point of view influences the story. For instance, what do you learn through the thoughts of the narrator that you wouldn't know if the story were told through a different character's point of view? How does the narrator's opinions influence the telling of the story? Do you feel as though you can trust the way the narrator views the events of the story? Finally, choose one character in the book and explain how the story might be different if the book were written through that character's point of view.

I'm reading Vampire Hunter D Vol. 2 Demon DeathChase and I finished this book about 2 days ago.This book is told in third person point of view because the narrator goes into many other character's thoughts.Also, the narrator influenced this point of view by showing strong feeling such as LOVE. between hunter d and carolina on their way back to the village.if this was told by just hunter d point of view then it'll be all about just saving the girl.

I just finished the book "Forever" by Judy Blume. This book is told in first person point of view, being Katherine. This influences the story because if it was not in her point of view, the readers would not know her feelings about Michael, what shes thinking and what she wants and doesn't. If the story was told in a different character, such as Michael, we also would not know about Theo. Instead, we would know more about Michael's summer away from home and not Katherine's. Katherine's opinions also influence the story because Michael already had his first time of love so he would have a totally different opinion than Katherine does. Yes, I do feel as if I can trust the way the narrator views the events of the story. If the book was written in Jamie's point of view, the story would also be totally different. This is because she would be talking about how her sister really likes Michael and so does she. She would talk about her art and cooking. She would also talk about her crush and how she felt when her grand mom died. The story would be different, including the title. This is about the book I read.

I'M READING THE BOOK GATHERING BLUE BY LOIS LOWRY. I'M ON PAGE 64 OUT OF 215. MY BOOK I SIN THIRD PERSON. MY AUTHOR IS TELLING THE STORY ABOUT KIRA.THIS POINT OF VIEW INFLUENCES THE STORY BECAUSE KIRA IS THE ONE BEING TALKED ABOUT THE MOST.I'VE LEARNED THAT KIRA IS A TEENAGE GIRL JUST TRYING TO DO SOMETHING IN HER LIFE BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST MEAN. THE NARRATOR IS PROBABLY GONE THROUGH SOMETHING IN LIFE SO SHE IS EXPRESSING IT IN A BOOK.YES, I TRUST THE WAY SHE VIEWS IT BECAUSE I LIKE HER BOOKS AND SHE CAN WRITE.KIRA WILL SAY THE THINGS SHE WOULD WANT AND NOT THE BAD THINGS THAT ARE COMING FROM OTHER CHARACTERS.

The book I’m reading is The Resisters: Sterling Squadron. The authors name is Eric Nylund. It has 307 pages and I’m on page 265. The point of view my story is told through is 3rd person and is able to go into any characters head. The character I choose is the main character, Ethan, to explain how their story would be different. I choose the main character because I believe he would be the most affected by the change, but since the book is in 3rd person omniscient I don’t believe any of the characters would be affected.

The book I read was the rangers apprentice part 3 I finished the book it is by John flannagan, It is told in a third person point of view and he can go through multiple characters point of view. there are many characters that you dont get the point of view from. there are three characters that you can see the thoughts of. If it were told from some points of view you may not know alot of things. If it were told in a minor character deparneux's point of view it would be a tale about how he attacked people and plundered villages and he wouldnt have known that halt was a ranger or that horace is only an apprentice.

I have just finished 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer, and i am now reading 'New Moon' the second book of the twilight series. The point of view is told by the main character Bella. The author is telling the story in the first person. The point of view influences what the narrator feels about a situation or a certain character. I feel that i can trust the way the narrator feels about a certain situation because i can trust what she says and feels about certain characters. I think the story would be said in a different point of view through a different character. If her vampire boyfriend Edward were to tell the story, i think the story would differ because he is a mind reader and he could understand what other people were thinking in the same or different situation.

I am reading Son of the mob: Hollywood hustle by Gordan Korman. I am almost done the book at pg 256 of 272. My story is told through first person, the main
character Vince Luca is the only who's thoughts the author reveals. Because the story is told in First Person I learn a lot about Vince. Mostly how he hates that he can't do anything with out his families business getting in the way. Most of the events in the story happen because Vinces' family business and its usually a cause that makes thing happen so I do understand the narrators opinion most of the time. And, if the book was written through Tommys'(vinces' brother) opinion,the story would be different because Tommy knows the whole set up which is driving Vince crazy to figure out. Plus Tommy is a mob guy so it would be more cool to know what he's thinking when he sets up his schemes.

I am currently reading Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld. Im on page on 164 out of 488 pages. My book is told by first person view point. the point of view influences the story by giving us indirect characterization of other characters that are present in the story. it also allows the reader to get in the mind of the main character and understand. it influence it by making it be comical, interesting and allowing me to be more into the book. yes i am able to trust the view point of the story. If Aspeth, the cocky popular girl f boarding school was told through her then the story would prolly not be the purpose it was for. it wouldnt give much understanding of a true boarding school child who is trying to be the best she can, fit in and the hardships you may go through because Aspeth fits in perfectly but isnt that hardworking girl and goes by life with flying colors!

i have just finished The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick. This was told in first person. The whole story i was inside one of the main characters;Max. A big art of the story has to do with him so i see why the author made it in his point of view. I learned a lot of themes through out this book. I believe and can trust the way the way the narrator feels about situations through out the book. If the story was told n a different point of view it wouldn't have made me feel the way i felt through out the book. I felt what the character was feeling through out the whole book because of the point of view. If the story was told in Kevin's point of view it would be different. Kevin is very intelligent and uses very big words so i feel as if it would be hard for me to understand.

Walter Dean Myers, "Somewhere In The Darkness".Im on page 63 out of 168. The story is told in first person point of view, it influences the story more because to me it seems like in first person it makes you think about it as if you were in there shoes. So i learn how it feels to be that character. if the story wasnt told in 1st person i wouldnt know the characters feelings how i know them, because if its your thoughts then you can describe it and get deep into if its in 3rd the narrator cant say the feelings of the character how it would be in 1st because thats not their mind.the narrators opinions influence's the story because it gives you more to expand. yes i do feel like i can trust the narrator. if it was told in mama jeans point of view it would be different because she doesnt know as much as they do because shes not present all the time, so she would be basically saying her thoughts.

The book i am currently reading is Drama High :The Fight by L.Divine . I am currently on page 45 out of 202.The Story is told through first person point of view so that i can tell/learn jayd's every day life. Through first person point of view i have learned who jayd lives with , her faimily members close friends, and personal thoughts and feelings. If this story was told from a differnt point of view i would not know her personal thoughts and feelings. Jayd's(the narrator) opinions influence the telling of the story because she is angry at an friend an from her point of view she finds many ways for her to be a bad friend . I trust the way the narrator vievs the story because she knows how the things happen. If the story was written form Misty(jayds ex bestfriend) she woulf feel like she did nothing wrong but try to help her bestfriend and fell like jayd is the one to blame.

I'm reading The River by: Gary Paulsen, I'm on page 38. The story is told in a third person point of view & the author is only in one character's (Brian) head. The narrator doesn't really have an opinion, he just describes all of Brian's thoughts. This makes it easy to trust the narrator, because his influence on the story isn't that big. I think if the story was told in another person's point of view such as Derek's, it would not make a lot of sense, because Brian is teaching Derek how to survive in the woods with no equipment.

i book that i just finished was worst enemies/ bestfreinds by Anne Bryant. this book is told from third person omisent. the author is specking through everyone's point. i think that third person omisent effects the book because if it was only in one character's point, you wouldn't know how the other characters feel about one another.i trust the author with how they viewed the events in their story because you get more details about an important event. if the book was told in Charllote's point ithe story would be very different. for example, when charlotte told the other girls the truth about her house and that the tower wasn't hers, the author went in each of the girls head to show that they were very mad at her.

"the book"***

My current book is called Shades of Jade, but I previously started a couple books but werent interested in them but the last book i finshed was City of Ember.City of Ember is told in Third person but limited. In the book it goes from the two main characters minds Doon and Lina.I think this is good because it makes the book more interesting and you can not only hear one persons thoughts but how others feel too.If the book was written by the Mayors point of view i think the book would change alot because first he is a important character but not a major character.

The book I am reading is called Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 173. The story is told in first person point of view in Katniss's point of view. It expresses all of her feelings in the book about what is happening to her. It has direct characterization because of the first person point of view.

the book i am reading is called the pact by george jenkins rameck hunt and sampson davis. im on page 105 out of 239. in the story the point of view changes in each chapter. in the first couple of chapter it off as George after him is Rameck then Sampson. while in their point of view they talk about their childhood and how they had the courage and heart to make it in their career as doctors. this is my second book for ssr

The book I am currently reading is called “A Total Waste of Makeup" by Kim Gruenenfelder and I am on page 177 of 369.This book is in first person point of view. If the book were in a different point of view that I wouldn't all the advice that Charlize has given me through the book, her sarcastic and somewhat hilarious comments, and the never ending drama of her life. Her opinions throughout the book make it come alive. For without them, the book would be about a boring lonely woman who will never find a mate. Her thoughts keep the story going. Yes, I can feel the way the narrator view the events of the story. The character I would have to choose would be Charlize’s sister, Andrea. In her point of view I’d probably see comments that would talk about her wedding and decision making. However I also believe that she going to contemplate over the fact if she could ever make the right choice for her wedding, or even in life.
