Here is a picture of perspective.

In the book Across A War Tossed Sea By: L. M. Elliot. The author uses the theme of: family is always there for you, in other words my motif is family and friendship. I think this because in the text everyone helps each other, for example. In the text when Bobby got into trouble everyone stood up for him and said that they themselves did it. Also when Charles went out in the middle of the night to head to England, there was a bad storm that cause Wesley to be scared for Charles because he didn’t know where he was. So Wesley woke everyone up and they started to look for Charles together. Overall in the story everyone works together and your family will always be there for you.

In my story, Four-Four-Two, the most prevalent theme of the text is to stay loyal to what you believe in, even when you feel like you can’t. The first reason I think this is because Yuki’s country (America) thinks all Japanese citizens are traders and spies, and don’t think they should have the same rights as others. However, this does not deter Yuki and Shig (Japanese-Americans) from joining the army. This benefits them, giving them a new perspective on many things, and also changes some of the American’s perspective on Japanese citizens. They also ultimately help America prevail in the wars, and give far more rights to other Japanese-Americans, benefiting them as well as many, many others.

Because my story is a true story I have to do problems. First he is drafted even though he is a Jew. Second the conditions in Russia is very bad and they are always sick. After having to retreat to a small town he is captured by the Russians and has to stay in a horrible prison/concentration camp before he is released. His house was bombed and the city was split up. He ended up in the Russian section. At this time Russia is still communist country. So the town was under lock and key and the conditions are terrible with people starving in the streets. He the has to hide in a cargo box on a train to get to the better side, the American portion were his house is.

The setting of my book, Four-Four-Two, is America during the Second World War, so around the early to mid 1940’s, after America had suffered the attack of Pearl Harbor and joined the war. This has an impact on the story, as Americans view and treat all Japanese people, even Japanese-Americans, very poorly, thinking that they are traitors who have no right to be the same as Americans. The main characters of my story are Japanese, and therefore, it is very hard for them to join the army and be treated normally.

In my story, The Devil’s Arithmetic, the theme is that patience and perseverance will benefit you in the end. For example, the main character, Cassie, doesn’t take action before consideration. She always thinks before acting, and it benefits her greatly, such as her job pursuit and her fight for liberation.

The emotional setting in my book is that nick is scared because in his apartment in London. Right by it, the Nazis are dropping bombs on the surrounding city, and when that happens, my characters run out, and while they are outside, the Nazis drop bombs on their apartment and shred it into nothing. He is still scared, even though he moved to Burma, Asia on his dad’s plantation farm.

My story is The Devils’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen. The main character of my story is Hannah. Hannah dislikes her family’s traditions, such as Passover, and thinks them unnecessary and boring. However, at the end of Passover, she is transported back in time to the mid-1940’s, and is put into a family with Gitl (Her mother) and Shmuel (Her father). However, they are captured by Nazi soldiers and sent to a concentration camp. Life there is incredibly harsh and demanding.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of my book, The Devil’s Arithmetic, the story took place in the late 1980’s, during the Jewish holiday Passover, which takes place near Christmas. This had an effect on the main character, Hannah, as she disliked the tradition of Passover, thinking it a waste of time. However, she was somehow taken into the past, during World a War 2. I have not read very far in this section yet, so this time and Setting have not made mush of an effect on Hannah.

The author uses the perspective of first person. The main character is Charles so we see his perspective. Also I can see another perspective of Wesley when he is writing notes to his parents. This lets me see his perspective as well.

In the story “The Road to Memphis,” the author, Mildred D. Taylor, uses the perspective of an eighteen-year-old African-American woman to develop the mood of unfairness and oppression. She understands what is happening and why it isn’t right, as opposed to if the story was told from the perspective of a child that doesn’t as fully understand the situation. For example, the main character’s younger brother understands that certain things are wrong and unfair, but not why they are. The main character is a jaded, experienced young adult stands up against oppression and is open-minded towards new ideas and progress.

In my book, The Road to Memphis, the main character, Cassie, has a much different perspective than her friend, Stacey, but they do have the same perspectives on some things. For example, in terms of segregation, Stacey wants to lash out against it with immediate actions, while Cassie wants to deal with it more passively and reasonably. Stacey thinks something needs to happen, and now; he’s impatient. Cassie, on the other hand, is ok with waiting; she knows that change will come eventually.

I abandoned my book. I started a new book called, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. So far, there are only 3 main charcaters in my book. There is Annemarie, Kirsti, and Ellen. I think Annemarie is fast, nervous, and brave. I think she is fast, because she was training for a running marathon. I think she was nervous, because she ran into the soldiers, and then got all nervous talking to them, because she was nervous that they were going to do something to her. I also think that she is Brave, because she was brave to talk to the soldiers. The next character is Kirsti. Kirsti is Annemarie’s little sister, and Kirsti has many traits. One trait is that she is Brave. She is also Brave, because she was brave with the soldiers as well. She is also a chatterbox, because she just lives to talk a lot. This is shown in the text when she ran into the soldiers with Annemarie, and she just started talking about her hair, and she loves to just talk about herself. Her next trait is sassy. Kirsti is sassy, because when the soldier touched her hair, she slapped him on the hand, because she didn’t want him to touch her. The next character is Ellen. Ellen doesn’t display much right now, but she only displays that she is nervous. This is shown when they ran into to soldiers, Ellen tryed to get out of sight, because her mother would be upset if she heard that Ellen ran into a soldier.

In the text, Thin Wood Walls by David Patneaude, the point of view is in first person. This relates to the text, because you know how the character is feeling, and what they are thinking in a situation. For example, when Joseph was on the train, it told his feelings and thoughts about the train.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Charles is a very responsible character. I think this because he is the oldest out of everyone and he has to watch them all the time. If he messes up on something he will get into big trouble because everyone looks up to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that Joseph is worried. I think he is worried, because his dad got taken away by the FBI, and he doesn’t know where he is. He just wants his dad to come home. He keeps his feeling in a journal that his dad gave him before he left. He writes about how he misses him, and is worried about where he is.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Joseph seems confident, because he was confident when he went to school, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor(he is Japanese, and he was nervous to go to school, but he did). Joseph was also confident when his dad got taken away. He didn’t yelll at the FBI, he just watched, and was strong. He wanted his dad to stay with his family, but he couldn’t.

The main character is Georg. I am predicting he hates Hitler because he keeps hinting at it even though he is in Hitlers army. His family is also hiding Jews in there attic but his sister likes a German lieutenant. He also built a illegal radio to listen to a British shortwave program.

The main character in my story is Wesley. I am predicting that Wesley had a rough time growing up because he keeps bringing up memories or flashbacks of when he was younger. The memories and flashbacks are about when his family was together, right now Wesley’s dad is gone and his mom has left Wesley. This is a example of a memory or a flashback:

This is the first part of my CER character theory for my main character, Hannah.

# data[].attributes.body
The main character of my story, Hannah, can come off as rude and/or abrasive at times, with poorly timed comments or statements that are in poor taste depending on the situation. While this is Hannah’s nature, she is beginning to remedy these ways while the plot progresses, acting less like this.

My book is Thin Wood Walls, and my main character’s name is Joseph. Joseph is about our age, and he lives with his mom, dad, brother, and grandmother. Joseph seems confident, because he was confident when he went to school, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor(he is Japanese, and he was nervous to go to school, but he did). His Dad also got taken away by the government, because he was Japanese. Joseph was also very worried when that happened, because he didn’t know where they were going to take him, and he just wanted his dad to be safe.

My character theory is Nick is very hurt and is in a lot of pain, because his leg hurts and it feels like it is broken, and his ribs hurt because 2, 3, or maybe there are even 4 broken or cracked rib bones.
