blog response 5 - character

In the book im reading, "Missing Person" by Sally Pfoutz, I seem to be pulled by the main character Carrie who is trying to solve mystery of her mothers dissapearence . In the story she runs around frantically looking for her mother everywhere. To her though, it seems as if no one really cares. I can relate to this because my mother is in a similiar predicament. That is why i undrertand why she feels that no one cares. I think that sice everyone around is not enthusiastic as her about finding her mother she feels that they dont care.

my point of view

Mr.Stanley Yelnats was given a choice its was go to jail or he may go to camp green lake because stanley stole a pair of sneakers.The sneakers were clyde livingston a famous baseball player.The sneakers were for raiseing money for the homeless shelter.I think stanley did the right thing by going to the camp green lake then go to jail because I think stanley didnt do that bad of a thing to end up in jail.I think stanley wouldnt last 3 days in jail hes way to young and every one would mess with him if he would of went.
Do you think stanley made a good choice by picking camp green lake and not jail.

The Face On The Milk Carton, Caroline B. Cooney, page 1-46
Janie Johnson, a boring name.That's what Janie used to think about her name.a boring name, she tried changing it to up make it more interesting. As a usual boring day in school, Janie, lactose intolerant,couldn't drink milk .While eating her peanut butter sandwich she felt like one little sip . she picks up a milk carton belonging to her best friend, only to half a surprise . It was her face starring back at her off a milk carton. So now the name Jennie Spring, starts to set off memories, familiar yet strange. Was I kidnapped at the age of three. Are may parents, really my parents.

I think that its a good thing that stanley getting sent to the camp with kidse his own age because it shows kides not to do the wrong thing and to dothe right thing the frist time.

HI

Group Blog Response

At first our group couldnt really decide on a genre. But after fighting for a little bit we decided to settle with mystery because it felt like a good topic. We think that people are drawn to mystery because of all the great mystery stories they read growing up. One example being "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. We believe that when people read mysteries ( just like with any genre) they allow themselves to escape reality for a little bit. The only thing different about mystery is that for a moment you become a detective and get the oppurtunity to solve a puzzling story as if it were your own.

Cory, I like the first sentence of your 2nd response.  You've got to go deeper.  How does the conflict affect the character?  Do you know anyone who has been through similar conflicts?  What does it say about human beings that these conflicts crop up?
