While reading Chapter 3, choose one character to focus on. Why is he doing the things he does? What is his personality like? How does he interact with other characters? Give examples from the book (Chapters 1-3) to support your thinking.
Simon doesn't really get along with his brothers and he always wants to do the opppisite thing of anyone else. I think he does this because he is the oldest and he probably doesn't get attention that much.
Well he was fighting with Jack when he was dandleing off the cliff. It is Simons fault when Jack fell off the cliff because they got into a fight and Simon's foot pushed Jack off the cliff.
Jack: I think Jack picked up the skull because he was curies of what it was. I also think Jack doesn't like Simon very much now because when Simon moved out of the way Jack went flying of the mountain.
My character is Jack. I think that Jack denies & fights with Henry & Simon because he is unsure of himself. Since Jack is younger he doesn't really know what to do when their lost & can't go back. I think that Jack pouts a lot and is a daredevil. But when he is around his parents he turns into an innocent angel. Jack is kinda rude to the others and wants everything to go his way.
I think that Jack is different around his parents because he just really doesn't want to get in trouble. I have a younger brother named Jacob & he always blames everything on me. Of course my parents go with his side so I'm the devil child & he's the angel.
My Character is Simon, he really acts like the older brother. He watches his siblings and keeps them in line. He gets really stressed and starts yelling at People sometimes, cause he needs them to stay put.
Jack, I paid most attention to him because he is the one that fell of the mountain, and when something like that happens, pretty much everybody pays attention to that.
Little kids probably get tired of getting bossed around and told what to do so while their parents aren't there, he probably just wants to do what he wants to do. Also when someone screams as they fall of a cliff, then other people come rushing over to the area, when all of that commotion happens, no one can really ignore that.
I was focusing on Jack because he was trying to push Simon off the rock when Simon had just moved and fell off, which is obviously a part you can't miss, so that is why I noticed him and decided to focus on him.
My character is Jack and he doesn't care a lot about Josie and I agree with Shannon he can be a daredevil and then when his parents see him hes nice and then when they leave hes nice again. And he is rude to his brothers.
My character is Henry. I think Henry is like the smart one of all three of them because the word he said "you look like you're ... precarious." because know of them new what it met until he told them what it met. So that is what I got out of that little sentence.
I focused on jack because that kind of interested me that he thinks he knows everything and that he's fine when he knows that they just want to protect him. His character is also very independent because like I said he thinks he knows everything and another way to describe his character is that he doesn't think because if he would have payed attention and that of the consequences he wouldn't have fallen.
when Simon and Henry found Jack I don't recall if it was Simon or Henry but they said a word and Jack said he was fine but that he might fall and then one of the boys said that's what it means.
Henry
ReplyDeleteHe did almost die so i would be mad too. But his friend said that he gets mad really easy.
It was Jack but close
DeleteWhat does the fact he gets mad easily say about his personality? How does the author show us he gets mad?
DeleteI seems that he is always worried and he is always arguing
DeleteSimon doesn't really get along with his brothers and he always wants to do the opppisite thing of anyone else. I think he does this because he is the oldest and he probably doesn't get attention that much.
ReplyDeleteI think Jack doesn't get along with the other brothers.
DeleteWhat does Simon do that makes you think he doesn't get along with his brothers?
DeleteI never thout about that!
DeleteWell he was fighting with Jack when he was dandleing off the cliff. It is Simons fault when Jack fell off the cliff because they got into a fight and Simon's foot pushed Jack off the cliff.
DeleteSimon. because he is the oldest. curious, and a science-ypersonality.he has spiky brown hair. he is the oldest brother
ReplyDeleteWhat has Simon done to show his "science-y" personality?
DeleteI agree because since he is the oldest he probably wants to be in charge and he probably whats people to think he is the best
DeleteHe is very curious thats why I think he has a science-y personality
DeleteJack: I think Jack picked up the skull because he was curies of what it was. I also think Jack doesn't like Simon very much now because when Simon moved out of the way Jack went flying of the mountain.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you
DeleteHas Jack shown he's curious in other ways?
DeleteI don't think Jack has shown he's curious in other ways.

ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think Jack might act differently around their parents?
DeleteI agree with Shannon that Jack is daredevil hey Shannon why do you think jack is a daredevil?
DeleteI agree with Shannon he is different around his parents because he tries to hide something like all the time.

ReplyDeleteGreat response! Why do you think Simon being the oldest makes him act the way he does?
DeleteJack, I paid most attention to him because he is the one that fell of the mountain, and when something like that happens, pretty much everybody pays attention to that.
ReplyDeleteI practically said the same thing, except I would of never thought of such fabulous words like you did
DeleteDid Jack's personality have anything to do with him falling off the mountain? What has happened that makes you think that?
DeleteI think he acts like that because when you are trying to be in charge but people are not listening you get frustrated. Which is what Simon was doing.
DeleteLittle kids probably get tired of getting bossed around and told what to do so while their parents aren't there, he probably just wants to do what he wants to do.

ReplyDeleteHow did Jack's personality and choices from earlier in the book impact him falling?
DeleteMy character is Jack and he doesn't care a lot about Josie and I agree with Shannon he can be a daredevil and then when his parents see him hes nice and then when they leave hes nice again. And he is rude to his brothers.
ReplyDeleteWhat has he done so far that makes him a daredevil?
DeleteHes been kind of mean to every one ever sense they moved there and then he stopped being on when Henry fell down the cliff.
DeleteMy character is Henry. I think Henry is like the smart one of all three of them because the word he said "you look like you're ... precarious." because know of them new what it met until he told them what it met. So that is what I got out of that little sentence.
ReplyDeleteGood job using a specific text detail. What else has happened that makes you think Henry might be the smart one of the group?
DeleteWell they also describe him as the one who likes to use fancy words in the being of the book
