Post #3: Theme - Open until Wednesday, Dec. 3rd

Maintaining your character’s voice, express your novel’s theme (a statement that the author is making about the subject of the novel).  Keep in mind that a theme is “universal”, meaning that it is not plot-specific but can be applied to life in general.

·         Post = What is the author’s message? What are your character’s thoughts about how he or she has changed (for the better or worse)?  What lessons has he or she learned?

·         Response = React to another character’s (classmate’s) post in your own character’s voice.  Does the other novel’s message apply to your character at all?  If so, how?  If not, why?  Provide a detail from your novel to support your response.


Don’t forget to sign your character’s name and book title to your post and response.

  1. Everyone in life needs a friend. If you don't have people you are close to, your choice to seclude yourself, will be the death of you.

    3. That is so true I can't even explain. A couple days ago my life was falling apart. I wanted to give up more times than I can count, but because of my friends and my brother I am still here and finally everything is at peace. i couldn't be more thankful for everyone who has been there for me.

    4. That is so true! I lost my whole entire family in a car accident and I had to decide whether I live or die. I was sure that I was going to die, until I realized that I still have a lot of people in this world that care about me and would do anything for me. Even though I lost some of the people I care about most, there are still people that care about me and love me.

  2. don't judge somebody from first impressions. I can't trust anyone and its crazy. I learned that some people are not who they say they are.

  3. Finally she's gone. Lara can stop torturing me and my family. All the tears, all the possessions, all the late nights without sleep are gone. My Dad finally gets that I'm not crazy. My brother finally understand my Dad is just trying his best. Kade is mine, my friends are still here for me, my Mom will visit me whenever I need her. Everything is at peace. I guess this just shows that hard work and never giving up will always prevail.

  6. Finding true beuty has nothing to do with other's opinions about you. It has alot to do with self confidence. Believing and knowing you truly are beutiful; inside and out.

    1. I know how you feel. People have thought of me like I'm hopeless just because I have an oxygen tank and have cancer. In the inside I know that I am truly beautiful even though i have cancer.

  7. Augustus and I have been helping one another a lot lately. I feel that me and him have fallen deeply in love with one another. Its actually quite great, me and him are both sick but yet we still seem to find joy in all of this. I'm hoping he gets better soon, things are getting worse. This is just saying that our love triumphs though our hardships.

  10. Summer arrived and my life changed forever when a famous actor Adam Jakes arrives in my home town, Little, CA. Turns out Adam is there to act in a new movie A Christmas Carol.I am not the type of girl to fall head over heels for movie stars and that is why they think i would make the perfect fake girlfriend for adam, but I had to decline to help save my brother who is an addict and owe someone money. ALOT of money.
