Inciting Incident: The inciting Incident is when Aru Shah walks into the Hall of Gods. From then she starts to think critically about magic. In the Hall of gods, she found the Lord of Destruction which was looking at her wand. Her mother tells her that the Lord of Destruction is looking at it because they want the power of it. She then thinks why gods should be admired about the power they already have.

Rags to Riches: Robert and his friend will become friends on the first day of school. Then his friend over the course of time started to ignore him in certain ways. Robert is used to getting ignored and getting said something bad like you look like a bird. "I feel like he is starting to ignore me but I'm fine with it...."(p.212). But as Robert gets older, he starts to make friendships and his family accepts him more.

Summary: The main character of this book is Robert Hoge. This book is about a deformed kid named Robert and his life. This book takes place in Brisbane as a family of 5 in 1972. The overall thing in this book is what Robert as a deformed kid did in his childhood. This book is told as a flashback. Robert is flashing back at his memory.

Visualize: The scene that Robert felt first got in the water. On page 173 it says," The first time I went in the pool, it felt cold.....I never thought I would be able to play a sport." In this sentence I could visualize he is happy that he can play a sport while having a deformed leg. I could also visualize that he feels the cool water touching his skin for the first time. I think this sentence was well written.

Connection: The connection I made is myself. In the book Robert Hoge is born with a ugly face and he couldn't make friends at school. This connects to me because I had a time that I couldn't make any friends. When it was the first day of school in TK some of the kids already had friends and I was sitting alone. I can feel what he was feeling like alone and it connects to me. This is why this book connects to me.

Characterization: Jeremiah(MC) is a nice person. The reason I think he is nice is because he coaches and he is liked from the other people. In the book he always motivates kids like saying "You got this." Towards the end of the book, Coach Perkins comes to the team and ruins the team. But Jeremiah says to get out and says that he is ruining the teams motivation. Like that he is brave, nice and a hard working person.

Antagonist: The antagonist in my book is Coach Perkins. He is the coach of the Eagles with Jeremiah. He wants to get the team to lose every game to get back the position he always wanted to instead of Jeremiah. On the Epilogue in the book it says " Coach Perkins will stand a trial for second degree murder in Cincinnati." This shows that he is a violent person that Jeremiah has to face.

Static vs Dynamic: Jeremiah is a static character because his goal is to make a baseball team and lead the team to win the championship. He is always nice to the players and he recognizes what the players should do to improve. Alvin is the dynamic character. Page 237 it says," Alvin is doing so much better...hitting better than ever before. The static person is Jeremiah and the dynamic is Alvin.

Character v. Character: Jeremiah is trying to make a baseball team with all 11 players and win the championship. Jeremiah is getting the team together but some of the players quit the team. "But it's always something.... Casey bean, our relief pitcher, quits" (p. 180). This shows that Jeremiah is facing a problem that players are quitting to go to a new club.

Predictions: Jeremiah, Walt and Danny are going to a baseball tournament and they are getting ready. Danny is not coming to the practices. I think Danny will not come to the tournament and the team will be panicked. ¨These recent practices Danny has been late¨. This shows that he is not into baseball as much.

POV: The point of view of the story is 3rd person omniscient.¨ They moved through the crowd, matching up partners ¨ . In this sentence it says ¨ They ¨ which is used from a 3rd person point of view. ¨She hasn't studied yet¨. In this sentence, it describes that the narrator knows the feelings of the characters. These quotes show that this story is a 3rd person POV.

PROTAGONIST: The protagonist of the story is Harry Potter. Harry is a nice kid who uses spells. He has black hair and he also wears glasses. Also his friend Ron was saying," Harry is a smart kid. He is better than me at everything". That shows that Harry is smart and he is respected by others. He is in almost all of the scenes and he is the one who solves everything.

Setting: The setting of this book is in a place called Gryffindor and I think the time will be around 1000 years ago. The reason is because, in the book there is a scene that Harry caught on fire and they try to put it out. But in the scene they don't know how to do it so they just put a water spell on it. That shows that they are not as educated as us. This is why I know that the setting is what I think.

So far in my book Harry and his friend went to a classroom that was haunted. In the classroom was a candle with a little bit of light. There were no windows in there and they were scared to go in there.
