Week 3 RR? - Understanding my character(s)
(Be sure to include quote and page number!!)
You must use at LEAST 2 quotes from the book.
Understanding your character is a good way for you to really get into your book and see from another person's perspective. In your response this week, describe your character. Think about and discuss:
-1. your main character's personality
- 2. how they act/behave
- 3. what they look like
- 4. how old they are
- 5 what sort of education do you think that they have!
- 6 who their friends and family are
- 7 what their financial (money) situation is
- 8 and what their job is (if they have one).
The book I'm reading is Percy Jackson The Battle of The Labyrinth by Rick Riordan and the main character is Percy Jackson. His personality is a mixture of cocky and brave. I know that he is brave because on page 22 it said, "There was no time to get help so I uncapped riptide my sword and charged onto the enormous Hell Hounds back side." He acts and behaves in many different ways but one usually prevails like when he goes into battle he doesn't always think his attacks through, but this also proves he is cocky.
My character is a boy with a muscular build, medium height, sandy brown hair and usually wears jeans a t-shirt and a celestial bronze chest plate. My character is 14. I know he is 14 because on page 26 it says, "You may only be 14 now but when your 16 you will decide our fate." Percy Jackson has had a really bad education because he switches schools so much and they get destroyed every year before he goes to camp so he doesn't learn much. His dyslexia doesn't help his education much either. His friends are a Demi-god girl named Annebeth, and a Satire named Grover.His family is a mom that's mortal, and a dad that's a god named Poseidon. His financial situation is good because his dad takes care of everything. He does not have a job because he is a young Demi-god so his dad Poseidon and the people at camp half-blood pay for all of the expenses.
