Question:
Who is your favorite character from a book and why?
My Answer: Ender Wiggin from the Ender's Game sci-fi series by Orson Scott Card. The series takes place in the future when families are only allowed to have two children. Ender's family already has two kids, and when he comes along, he is a "third". "Thirds" are undesirable, second class citizens. Luckily for Ender, he is gifted and has a special talent for flying space ships and defeating enemy "aliens". Although the fate is often placed on Ender's small shoulders, he remains a sensitive and caring person, and grows up to be a kind person, and a leader. Attention 6th graders: I am already planning on making Ender's Game our first book club selection for the year. Are you ready?! --Mrs. A
Probably my favorite character in a fiction book is India Opal from "Because of Winn Dixie". I love to read this book aloud to my students. It's one of my favorite books.
ReplyDeleteOpal's dad is a preacher and moves them to a new community. Opal feels alone, an outsider, and makes some unlikely friends. Like me, India is an animal lover who adopts a straggly stray dog and names him Winn Dixie.
If you've never read the book, check out the movie on DVD this summer. I guarantee once you've seen the movie, you'll pick up the book!
My favorite character in a book is probably Emma Tolly from the Charlie Bone series because she is endowed, like everyone else in the series, but her endowment is she can turn into a bird and she is AMAZING at art. I like art and birds and she is really smart and nice thus me thinking she is one of my favorite character.
