Character Analysis - Block 1

Authors tell us about characters in many ways...here are a few:

The way they look
What they say
What they do
What they think
Their past experiences
How others think about them
How others treat them
What others say about them, including a narrator

You were given a list of characters that could be potential roomates at a camp. Based on their character descriptions, who would you most like to room with? Who would you least like to room with? Explain your thinking. Be as specific as possible.

Be sure to use your initials and the number I give you in class. I am looking forward to reading your opinions!

    I like alex because im a very sporty girl and i love playing bball. I connects to me in life because i always have sports going on. I also love sprotscenter. I disliked sam because sam doesnt like any subjects and you haved to like something to get a carrer. Also i dont like bending to rules. Bending the rules is not good and is a trouble maker to me. Mrs.Heim What are you talking about your number?

    I like Dana I chose her first because she shares the same hobby as me, she really likes music just like me. The person who I chose last is Sam because she is the rudest and she has no clue what she wants to do for a living. She could get me in trouble to cause she lies to bend the rules. I know we all want some exsitment but I mean sshe by what we all have read she sounds like a real jerk!

    I choose Alex because he sounded like anice guy who would talk and play outside when ever. I also chose him because he's not a self-centered jerk he's just a guy who likes basketball. Maybe he likes hockey because he's a jock.
    I said Chris would be the least because he's a listener and not a talker, i'm more of a listener to so two people listeners wouldnt do good. I also didnt like him because he tended to like school I don't like the learning stuff out of school. If he were to like sports then I would choose him but he doesnt so O well. I also didnt choose him because he loves to read and doesnt sound like I could hang-out with him because he would be reading!!!!! I still respect all of them as people they're just not like me.

    For a roomate i would pick Alex, because she sound fun and sporty at the same time! So I think she would be perfect for me because I like being funny and sporty at the same time! :)
    The person I would not want as a roomate would be Sam, because he sounds like he is bad, because he does not have a favorite subject and he likes to break the rules so I would choose sam last!

    I retyping it because I found lots of mistakes. I like Alex the best because Im very sporty for a girl. I also love basketball. This person connects to my life a lot because I always have sports going on. I dislike Sam because Sam doesnt like any subjects and I think you should like a subject so you can get a career. Also I dont like bending the rules. Bending the rules are not good and I think those people are troublemakers.

    KAB do you now how the spell LOL!!!!

    JCP i get how two listeners can not work out but i mean Chris can help you with your homework now do you really think that a jock can help you with your homework? Wouldnt you rather have someone smart instead of just someone who can play sports.

    Okay all the people that like alexis it just because he plays sports? Or cause you think he has a good personality. Cause to me what i look for in a friend is someone with a good personality.

    OKAY!!!! I get your point SMO! Its just i have a diffrent opinion than you. I give up on trying to convence people, cause everyone has a diferent perspective on diffrent situations. Such as our fude on whos better dana or alex, I would chose dana and you SMO oviusly would chose alex. This is because we both like diffrent hobbys.
