If I could give advice to the main character in my book, I would tell him to never give up. Despite all of the hardships in his life like the loss of his father or him growing away from his best friend, his brother JB, he has a very bright future ahead of him with basketball that he should take as far as he can.e

In crossover, the rules and expectations are the same as our world today. Children have to go to school and get a college degree, and parents have to work hard to provide for their families. What’s right and what’s wrong is also the same as today, you can’t steel things or break laws but you can do pretty much do everything else besides breaking laws.

I think that my book is realistic fiction. I believe this books is realistic fiction because it takes place on earth in a modern time period and seems like it is a true story. According to study.com, “ A book is realistic fiction when then people or animals are in a believable setting. These stories resemble real life, and characters in these stories react similarly to us.” I think crossover fits the criteria.

In Smile, 1 symbolic archetype used in this story is light and dark. Towards the end of the book when Raina, the main character starts to break apart from her old friend group you can see that she is always wearing bright and vibrant clothing while her friends start to wear dark and mysterious clothing. This symbolizes who is good and who is bad in the story

An allusion in the book smile I noticed is when the main character, Raina said “she was as good as a friend as the 49ers were good at football. This is an allusion to the San Francisco 49ers football team. Based on the time period of this book, the 49ers were really bad so that means the she was a terrible friend.

This book takes place at hogwartz school of which craft and wizardry in Britain and is about Harry Potter, a brave and curious kid who has magical powers. While at hogwartz, Harry finds out about the sorcerers stone, a stone that has eternal life and is worried that someone is going to try and steal it. With the help of his new friends Ron and Hermione, they attempt to stop the theft. This book is told in 3rd person.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone is a character driven story. I believe because it is driven by Harry’s feelings, thoughts, and actions to find who he really is and defeat evil. Events even like the return of lord Voldemort have happened because of Harry.

The climax of this book is when Ron is dragged into an old house by a black dog who turns out to be serious Black. He then explains to Harry, Ron, and Hermione that he did not participate in the killing of Harry’s parents and was framed by Peter Pedigru who is disguised as Rons Rat. Lupin is there to back up his story but Lupin turns into a werewolf due to the full moon and Serious turns into a dog and fights him off

Voyagers Infinity riders is a quest. I think this because the main characters, a brave group of teenagers sets out to obtain a magical element that has the potential to save the world. They face many challenges along the way but it looks like they come out successful.

I think that my book is science fiction as well as magical fiction. It features futuristic technologies like robots and complex rockets and also magic flying horses and spells. So far, this book seems very interesting and I’m very excited to reed more into it.

A dynamic character in my book is Harry Potter. He changes big time when he finds out that he has magical powers and is going to attend Hogwarts. He also changes when he finds out his parents didn’t die in a car crash and seeks revenge.

Raina, the main character knocks out her front teeth in San Francisco in the 1990’s. It’s told to inform readers about the author’s childhood.

The purpose of my book is to inform and educate readers about the life of Steve Jobs, from the beginning to end. The Author of the book appeals to people interested about about the roots of Apple and curios about how it all started. The values of the reader are people who like technology and who want to learn more.

In the book I’m reading, the antagonist I would say is the person or people who killed Henry the hippo. There identity is unknown to me but as I read more into the book I hope to learn who it is. I suspect that it is one of the employees at the park because who else could access the hippo’s cage?

In my book Belly Up, the tension of the story made me very fearful and anxious for the main character Teddy. Who ever killed Henry the hippo wants there identity to be a secret and will go so far to even kill a kid! I believe that the author uses unexpected events or revelations to illuminate this tension and to make readers feel these feelings.

A sympathetic character of my book is Teddy. He is very brave and determined to get to the bottom of Henry the hippos death. On the other hand, An unsympathetic character of my book is Marge, the head of security at FunJungle. She is very lazy and is always trying to get Teddy in trouble. She even tries to convince everyone that Teddy was responsible for the death of Henry.

This book is told from the 1st person point of view. I know this because Teddy, the main character narrates the book. He doesn’t know anything he cant see and most of the sentences start with I.

The main conflict in the book Big game, is character vs. character. I think this is true because when a shot is fired at an elephant in the park, the race is on to find the shooter. This is also true when Marge, a park official tries to prevent Teddy from finding the shooter. I think that Marge is trying to hide something up, she could be the shooter.

The protagonist of this book, Teddy, is a smart and curious teenager who likes to get to the bottom of things. He is also a very caring person who shows a lot of love towards the animals at the park. But many people think differently towards him, he is constantly being watched by park employees keeping a close eye on him. when he finds out that a animal has been shot at, he decides to go out and find the shooter.

I chose to read this book because I read the first book in the series “Belly Up,” and I loved it. So far I would say this book meets my expectations as it has a great story line and interesting characters. The book also as an intriguing cover.
