This week you will be finishing your books. As you read I want you to think about how the book ends in relation to how it started.
1. How did the main character change?
2. What are the important ideas (conflicts, character traits, people, places) that you plan to include in your research?
3. Choose one quote to represent something important from the book. Be sure to explain why you chose that quote.
Don't forget to respond to other posts by asking questions, providing memorial suggestions, or offering your opinion.
Week #3 Author's Purpose:Reading assignment for 5/18-5/25
p.62 June 25-p.93
This week I want you to focus on the main character, his/her driving characteristics as well as your overall impression of the group of people in history the main character represents (the perspective your book is about—like:an American soldier, a holocaust survivor, or a German who resisted the Nazis).
Please post your thoughts on at least two of these questions:
- What are the external conflicts the protagonist faces? How does the author describe this and make it important?
- What are the internal conflicts he/she is dealing with? What are the author's ideas about this, can you get a sense of their tone or opinion?
- What
do you think the main character will or should do? Does the
author give any foreshadowing clues?
- What are the most admirable character traits of the main character? What evidence does the author give of these traits?
I think that Scott will be killed or taking has a prisoner during the stoming of the beach
ReplyDeleteDylan I was thinking the same thing but I thought that would be to early in the book for the main character to get KILLED...
DeleteJacob I was thinking the same thing about the last part that you write.
DeleteIk it a prediction Jacob
DeleteI was thinking of mostly the same thing
DeleteI think when he is in war he will get captured and at the end of the book he will be killed by the leader
ReplyDeleteI think that Scott will find one of his friends deadWe or they will die next to him.
ReplyDeleteWord I did not know was: Noncoms
Place I can look up is: Vierville-sur-mer, Omaha Beach and Piccadilly, London
Before I read the book I was thinking the a teen named Scott would be in a team and that team would save the world/U.S from mass destruction
ReplyDeletei was confused when Scott just went into the war and started fighting in the and didn't really say if he had a lot of training there were some words that i didn't know
ReplyDeletePOSTING FOR WEEK #! is DONE. NOW POST FOR WEEK #2 BELOW.
ReplyDeleteWhen Crockett died it was sad because I really like how he was from West Virginia and suffice himself to help out his teammate from getting killed.
ReplyDeleteme to i like also how he tried to help some one else life when he was dieing
Deletei like how Scott sends a letter to his family to tell them how he is doing and i wonder why Scott got put in to a bunch of different squads and why they where doing that to him the shelling was to wipe out a big group of soilders and to wipe out buildings and other targets
ReplyDeletethe reason why he get put in different squads because people in squad kept dying
DeleteWhat does LST stand for in WW2 I read that LST five times what it means. I did not find out what it means
ReplyDelete*word*
DeleteI think that Bobby Joe and Scott have a very good friendship because they grow up as kids.Germans actualy started wwI and we were in war with them in the end....(#2)
ReplyDeleteScott is trying to sneak up on one of the German soldier but when he was doing that, one of the soldier spotted him but then Lt Rowe put his hood over his face and tried to choke him. I think Scott should just keep pushing though and help his squad fight and if there is any conflict with anybody then he will just get over it. Scott is very passive because, he just lets things go and when one of his Squad members left he didn't freak out, Scott gets worried a lot about his family and how his family is doing
ReplyDeletePOSTING FOR WEEK #2 IS NOW DONE.
ReplyDeleteThis book is seen though the eyes of a American soldier that has stormed the the beaches of Normandy, France.
ReplyDelete1). I think that Scott will talk or write to back to Angie and they will start going out when Scott gets back because Scott wrote to Angie and then Angie wrote back on the back of a photo of her saying that she “loved him”.
2). I think the Scott is caring and kind because he is always thinking about other people that he knows or new even it they are wounded or died or even ok at home.
This book is base on the eyes of American soldier going though WW2 and how it change people lives
ReplyDelete1). I think that Scott best friend will die and get wounded or Scott will get taken as a prisoner
2). I think Scott is kind and shy because he afield to die and worried about his mom and dad
I was thinking that some thing about Scott being kind.

ReplyDeleteHow Scott has changed is, In the beginning Scott said "Oh!! i'm going to kill a lot of people but towards the end he thought its not just fun and games i need to help my squad and take this seriously. Scott's squad was on reserve and they couldn't fight in that moment at that time."We soldiers are fighting for our lives. I chose this quote because it represent was mostly happening in the book because they are fighting for there lives and fighting for our country
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing but he change though the book
DeleteJamison, I was thinking the some thing about him in the beginning of the book.
DeleteI thought the same thing about how Scott changed he didn't think about his squad or team mates he didn't think that he was going to get killed
ReplyDeleteScott change mental in the beginning because he was thinking he was going to kill Germans and was thinking that the war was going to end in a few day. He did not think of friends and them getting killed
ReplyDeleteOmaha Beach because I want to go there to see what it look like.
“The central player in this story is the war itself. It lives on.”
Dylan, I like that quote. It really sums up the book,too.
