Then, she steps back in time to tell the terrifying story that connects the thief to the painting he stole. She also keeps things interesting by mixing historical characters (like artist Marc Chagall) with fictional ones, and adding a little magic, too! If you like historical fiction, you will like The World to Come.]]> 2020-03-23 12:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/470856473 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471216508 In the 3rd book of the Death Note Series, authors Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata gets the readers attention with a cat and mouse chase of 2 geniuses of Death Note wielder/murderer, Light Yagami and the detective Ryuzaki, aka "L" who can solve any mystery. The Death Note is a journal where a name written in it will die instantly depending on the details before their death. In book 3, they come across each other at their new university where L gives Light an opportunity to help him work on the secret task force while also telling him his identity. Light takes it to give himself access to police information but not to reveal that he is Kira, the person behind all the murders. But Light cannot write Ryuzaki's name because he doesn't know if the person who he might know is L is his real name. The only way to see someones REAL name is with the eyes of a Shinigami (original death note wielders) but loosing half of their lifetime. Now that Light and Ryuzaki are acquaintances, they would each have to outsmart each other in the case of Kira. ]]> 2020-03-23 16:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471216508 23kc00941 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471226617 The Bermudez Triangle is a book written by Maureen Johnson, that follows the lives of three high school seniors, Nina, Mel, and Avery. She makes the characters likable by making the book seem very realistic. Each girl has her own thoughts and feelings about each other and about High School, and the book is very easy to connect to. Also, the personalities of each girl are unique, but yet easy to like because you get to know them very well. For example, Nina cares deeply about her friends, even when they turn on her or do something to upset her. This make me like her because she is a kind hearted person, and a good friend. Mel is kind of shy, but also is a very caring girlfriend and friend. This makes me appreciate her character more because I can relate to her, since I am shy too. Avery is the most outgoing in the group, and is not afraid to speak her mind. ]]> 2020-03-23 16:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471226617 23sd10121 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471227717 In this novel, the author, Heidi W. Durrow, interests the reader because she adds a lot of components that makes me interested. It opens with a description of Jamie, the main character, and her way of life. Immediately after that, the mystery comes into place. This keeps the reader intrigued because the reader can make predictions about what is going to happen next and be completely shocked about what happens instead. There are a lot of intense and mysterious parts in this book that keeps the readers interested. This novel is more like a mystery book and those kinds of books interest me as a reader.

In this book, the main character Quinn fails to take charge of her own life by letting others speak for herself. Being the oldest sibling of 3 in her family she lets her younger sisters, friends, and parents, talk for her. Though she has a strong personality internally, she fails to express her feelings and thoughts to others on the outside.]]> 2020-03-23 16:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471229594 23as06561 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471231443 In this novel, the characters take charge of their own lives by living them to the fullest even though they are suffering from illness. Both the narrator and her love interest have some form of cancer, but this doesn't stop them from doing and getting what they want. For example, they take the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam together to meet their favorite author, even though the trip could have dangerous consequences. They also both choose to fall in love even though it is very likely that either one of them will die from their sickness. In these ways, the characters take charge of their own lives.]]> 2020-03-23 16:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471231443 23gw0745 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471234248 How does the author maintain reader's interest?
Frank Herbert maintain’s the reader's interest throughout the book by having the story follow many characters. In the book, after the death of the Duke, all of his family, and colleagues are into hiding on a desert planet. It follows many different groups of characters with an interwoven story. It maintains interest mostly by changing perspective between characters who are trying to survive in the same place, but don’t know that any of the others are alive. This makes it especially interesting when 2 characters are having completely different experiences and then they bump into each other and both their stories collide. It also switches to the perspective of some villains, so you know what's going to happen to the protagonists before they do, which can create a lot of anticipation, which makes the reader keep wanting to read.

For example, part of this story includes that she meets a boy who cares about her and does not realize her feelings for him but soon she develops feelings but problems cause her to never see him. Her problems allow the readers to maintain interest because they continue to develop her allergy to the sun and this continues to influence the decisions her very wealthy parents make as well as the decisions she makes.

I am at the beginning so all I know is that there is this teen, named Thomas, he doesn't remember anything about his life. The book starts with him in a container like place and he can feel he is moving up. When he reaches the top he is in a little place surrounded by huge walls. He comes up to many people watching him. He is introduced to everyone learns what happens in this place called the Glade. Later on he learns that he stuck in the middle of the maze and that the walls of the maze are constantly shifting. One specific thing that kept me interested was when one of the others in the Glade says he recognized him. This interested me because no one knew about their past lives and the fact that he is remembering somthing enticed me because in such a confusing environment I wanted some background information.

She is a very outgoing girl and an extrovert. She doesn't care about what others say or think about her. She wishes everyone happy birthday, goes outside to dance in the rain, cheers for the other team during games, and basically everything that no one else would do. The fact that she's so different from the others makes her likeable. ]]> 2020-03-23 16:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471251721 23cy0776_1 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471251835 How does the author of your book maintain readers’ interest?
The author switches between characters’ perspectives so it is not limited to one character. Stroud also added new characters that are entirely different from the original characters in the first book, which helps readers see a different side of the same world(this book takes place in a world with magicians. These magicians are considered high class and important; anyone else who is not "important" should not defy them or they will suffer consequences.) For example, Stroud adds a character who is a commoner (lower ranked than a magician), and like other commoners despises them but are forced to please them and not go against them in any way. On the other hand, for the original characters, one of them is a new magician who wants to prove that he is important and powerful, like all the other magicians. Both of these characters give the readers some insight on both sides of the same world.

In Happyface, Stephen Emond uses journal entries, specifically illustrations to keep the attention of the reader. The book is told from the perspective of a diary, and is just made up of different diary entries from the narrator, so it shows images of what he is seeing and imagining. ]]> 2020-03-23 16:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471253996 23af11181 https://padlet.com/deborahgoodkin1/qfcrh58wqq91/wish/471263521 Why did the author choose to set the book in another time period, or in another world?

In the book the character makes a list of potential killers but he's certain on one. He eventually goes up to the house with a gun in his back but the person isn't home yet.

The author maintains the reader's interest by having different cases that the characters have to solve and the cases that she makes go on for some time. Another point that keeps readers interested is that some of the characters aren't human, they are demons. Like Sebastian Michaelis and Grell Sutcliff.
