Here we go again! I was pretty interested in your responses this week! You did a great job conversing with one another. So here you are again....But this week, I want you to compare and contrast two books that you have read. Tell me similarities or differences in the genres, characters, settings, conflicts, or whatever else you find! Be sure to tell the titles of the books...they could be picture books too! Also, you need to comment on another student's response:) I just finished a story by J.D. Robb. It is very similar to James Patterson because they are both fiction and mysterys. One difference it the books, was that the main character and detective in the James Patterson book was Alex Cross, which is a guy detective. In the J.D. Robb book, the detective was Eve...a strong and ambitious woman detective. There is a comparison from me!

I recently finished the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.It was a very good book! It`s about four kids who discover a magical world inside a wardrobe. It`s being controlled by an evil witch and the kids have to help. In battle, the witch is defeated and the kids become kings and queens. Later, when they are older, they discover the wardrobe again and go through. When they come out on the other side, they are kids again. No time has passed in the real world. This is a seven book series!

I am reading the Amazing days of Abby Hayes, The More, The Merrier No.8. This book is about a girl named Abby Hayes. Abby wants to throw this big party for her friends at school. But the only problem is that her parents won't let her. But she makes up a list of all the reasons she should have a party. So when Abby confronts her parents they agreed that she could have the party. So she tells her friends about her big party how they are going to have watermelon and have a girl vs. boy tug of war etc..... Abby is so excited. While Abby is so excited about this party she has to paint her room. So Abby and her dad goes to the store to get paint to paint her room. The color Abby paints her room is a violet purple. Abby's twin sisters Eva and Isabella bake cakes for Abby's party. During the end of the story Abby and her friends have a lot of fun at the party.

the two books i am reading is dork diaries and diary of a wimpy kid the way they are similar is that they both are realistic fiction.Also they both write in diaries about there wort day and best day and what happened. They both have annoying siblings greg (from diary of a wimpy kid has a older brother roddric that teases him all the time and he has a younger brother manny he gets what ever he wants when he wants because he is the youngest in the family.And in dork diaries nikki has a younger sister brianna who always is being annoying and dumb.The differences are greg has two siblings and nikki has one.Also there is this really mean girl named makenize and she always is mean to nikki like that shirt is so last season and what lip gloss is that trass candy?And greg is crushing on this girl named holly hills.Here is one more similarity their parents are both CRAZY! which book would you read?

This is my Compare and Contrast paper . Its about two books ,dork diaries and Fourth grade is a Jinx . Somethings they have in common here is somethings . They both have a problem Nikki has a charity work . They have to do ice skating . She was not going to make a big fuss but learned that the charity she was doing really needed the money . But on the other hand Collette has problems of her own . On the first day of school her teacher had a accident :( . Then she and her classmates had to get a substitute and guess what its her mom !!!!! . Don't they have some weird problems ??? . I think so . The also have something different there own siblings Nikki only has one sister Brianna and real pain. But Collette's house is a full of people her little sister and brothers . But they also have eniemes Nikki's is Makenzie and Colette's is Roger . And thats my compare and contrast .

I am reading The Accidental Hero. It is a boy second day in a place called Imagi-Nation where most of the comic book characters live. He has a bad reputation already. He is infected with a disease that turns people in to a robo- zombie. It normally spreads in less then 2 min. but he is the only person who held out longer then that. When he got there he couldn't wait to find out who he was but the disease corupted the birth certificate since everything is computers and technoligy. He only had time to read he was born there. That is my responce for the week of Jan. 14-18, 2013.

i just finished the mortal instrements series. it is alike to the harry potter series because in both books there is witches and wizards.also, they arealike because a few of the antagonists are the same, like werewoves,vampires,trolls,and dragons. but, its different because in the harry potter series, the main character is a boy (harry), but in the mortal instrements series, the main character is a girl.(clary) also, they are different because harry potter is a wizard, but clary is a shadow hunter. that means a person who huntsdemons.

I have just finshed reading big nate it is about a boy who is going throw middle school with three freinds and very mean teachers and one bully it is very simaler to a nother i have just finshed called diary of a wimpy kid. The reason why these books are very simaler is because they both are to kids that are in middle school they both have realy just three friends. These books are also very diffrent because big nate dose not have a mom but he has a dad and and the kid from diary of a wimpy kid has a mom and a dad they are also very diffrent because they were riten by diffrent authors. Another reason why these two books are diffrent is because the titles own these books are very diffrent own is named big nate and the other is diary of a wimpy kid. These are the simalates of these to books.
