https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963 What is the author's purpose? en-us 2019-01-25 14:10:25 UTC 2019-01-25 16:04:24 UTC hello@padlet.com 26madysonboyd https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357200 I think that the author had a lot of dialog and  got us thinking of how he felt to be blind. It made it a lot harder to be blind.I think that the author wanted the setting in the book to be golfing  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357200 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357214 I think the author in million dollar putt  wanted to so that people with problems can do want ever they want do do like if you want to play golf you can do it. Also the author make this book hang every single page so that people keep reading . Also the author this book first person. ]]> 2019-01-25 15:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357214 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357221  In Hatchet the author chose to have Brian in the woods because so he could find things and it would be more interesting. A example is how he found the bear and the berries. He also found a shelter so he can sleep and store his food.  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357221 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357247 In Hatchet I think the author had wanted Brian to be in the woods because his personality is really good at finding things and it make the story really come to life. Also one example is he was getting chased by a bear, and trying to find some berries. I think that the author is just trying to tell us that even if you are some where]]> 2019-01-25 15:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357247 26shanefarrow https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357249 I think  the author chose a setting in Florida because Florida might have meant something to him. The author might have wanted the dad to be really kid like and the and the child to be responsible and more adult like because he wanted his book to be different from other peoples books. Over all I think the authors Perseus is to make you feel that his book was funny silly and different from the rest.  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357249 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357264 I think the author chose Clifton town because if she did not the story would not have happened because in Clifton people think it is 1840 but is 1996 in the real world. The author was trying to tell people that life was hard in the 1800's. the book Running Out Of Time showed that there are lots of mysteries in life. the story was told in first person ]]> 2019-01-25 15:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357264 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357338 I think my authors purpose is to get reader thinking about how hard it actually is to live in the woods, or to feel emotions that the characters in the book feel. Also I think or author is trying to make Brain feel that he is not in the city, he is in the woods and he is trying to tell us that living in the woods is not easy. So far it's hard for Brain and his body. My book is Hatchet!]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357338 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357342 I think the author chose 1996 because back in that time it was harder and in are book the are going through a rough time.I also think the author chose 1996 is because what they are going through in are book  is way different than what is going on in our life right now. In Running Out Of Time the author is telling it in first person.]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357342 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357349 I think that the authors purpose for my book Million dollar putt is to show people that they should be more kind to people who are different. Also I think the Author decided to make the main character (Edward Bogard) blind but make it show that he is still good at a lot of stuff. finally I think that the aurthor decided to make this story first person so we can be more aware of blindness  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357349 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357355 The author chose to make Running Out Of Time in the past to allow the big mystery to happen. They wanted to have people think it was one time,but it was really another time. They showed how the 1800's were a struggle and the 1900's helped.]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357355 26rachelschrage https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357397 I think the author´s purpose in The Million Dollar Putt is to make people aware of that kind of situation. For example, when Bogie discovers he can swing like a pro, he had never played golf before. But when he tried swinging the ball off the tee, he could almost always make it go 100 yards or more, and weirder still, he was blind, and in a different chapter, he shows his friend Birdie what it´s like to not be able to see.]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357397 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357420 I think the author made the words that hook the reader to read more of the book like it has action.]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357420 LlamaPerson https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357470 I think that the author chose to use the words: A frozen dead iguana, because they wanted to be more descriptive than just saying: a dead iguana fell from a tree. I think he did this just to make the book not look like it was written by a 6 year old. it also made the book look a lot more clean and make it feel like you were actually there instead of you feeling like you are just reading some random ink on paper.]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357470 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357512 The author in the story hatchet,  made the social issue clear to  show how it can affect characters in the story,  As well as in real life. This affected Brian. If his parents weren't divorced then he wouldn't have gone on the plane ride that got him stranded in the wilderness.]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357512 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357780 the author chose to make  hatchet in a cliffhanging book. by making every page so good. i was thinking Brian should go find his dad.  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357780 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357847 I think the author of Chomp made it to where the main characters don't get along really well. The author put in a lot of dialogue to show that the main characters don't get along really well. The author put in a lot of detail to show the actions of the characters who weren't getting along. ]]> 2019-01-25 15:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357847 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357879 I think the author in my book was trying to make readers think that everyone has a talent and anyone can do anything. ]]> 2019-01-25 15:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324357879 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324358035 The Author in my book chose neighborhood than a different setting. The reason chose it could be that people make friends in there neighborhood]]> 2019-01-25 15:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324358035 https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324358069 I think the author made the setting be in the woods because it is more interesting to have to live in the woods rather than a city. It also tells how resourceful he is. It also makes him live a new life style.  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324358069 26aidenpolitte https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324358242 I think that my author chose Clifton town because it would be more interesting because its in the past. It also shows that the 1800s and 1900s were hard years to go through.]]> 2019-01-25 15:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithholtmann/hq2im0og963/wish/324358242
