    In the book,Love Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli The woman named Stargirl is the protagonist in the book. The reason why Stargirl acts like this is because i think she just likes to have lots of friends,also loves giving back to the community.I would be friends because shes a kind loving soul like me.I think she remainds me of myself because my personality is similar to Stargirl's.Yes this protaginist does make the book better because she writes in her journal thoughout the book and you wonder if Stargirl will ever see Leo again because Leo is Stargirls high school sweetheart.

    James is the chatacter who is telling the story at the beginning of my book Divine Madness. James is an agent in a group called Cherub,Cherub is a branch of British Intelligence all agents are between the ages of 10 and 17 years old. When the agents are at base camp the color of their t-shirts tells what rank they are. Blue and black t-shirts are the highest ranks. When you retire you recieve a white t shirt. Some trainers wear white shirts.James now wears a blue t- shirt.

  5. In my book the main person is Jacob takes his brothers blessing and runs away so his brother don't kill him for what he did. He acts like that because God had same thing for him. Yes i would be friends with Jacob because of the things God going to do in his life. The main person is like a lot of other people in the Bible that God calls on them. it make the reader what to know what will happen to him next.

  6. James is the main person of this book. I like the book Mrs. Fix is reading it sounds like a good book to read. it sounds like the main person had to fight his way up to get the blue T. Not every one can get a blue or black T. This book i think sounds like a very good book to read

    the protagonist in my book acts good because in the story, he is on a pirate island and his dog gets kidnapped by an evil pirate. so what makes him the protagonist, is because he is a good person to his family, and also to do anything just to find his dog again. I think if i met the kid from my book, that we would actually become friends because he is adventurous and so am i. The protagonist is nick, and he makes the book better by putting in some action and adventure into the story line.

    Dylan, this book sound pretty interesting and would probably be a book that i could pick up and read sometime. its also cool to learn about how the secret agents in your story have to wear a certain color to show their rank. but if there was a little bit more information on the setting and story line, then it would help alot more to understand what your book has to do with and how people can relate.

    My character name is prince Caspian. He is a strong and not self-centered. He was brought up by a kind father. Yes I think me and him would be good friends because I would just be fun to be in Narnia. He make the book better because he keeps them on the right track.

    The main character in my book is David. He is confused about what is happening around him because he was just thrown (figerative speeking) in to the world of magic and dragons. I would probably not be friends with him because he keeps pushing people away without noticing. He reminds me of the main character in goblin would who pushed all people away from her when her mother was murdered. David makes the book better because his misunderstanding on how the story is meant to progress makes it take paths that could destroy the world.

    The protagonist in my book "Mein Kampf" by Adolph Hitler, is the German Workers Party. They act the way that they do because they are following their beliefs. I would not have been friends with them. They don't remind me of anyone I know. Without them there would be no Nationalist Socialist Party.

    The protagonist in my book is Dominique, she is a quiet, shy teenage girl and she attracted to a boy on the track team. Her best friend is the total opposite and she is loud and she is always going out with a new boy. I don’t know if I would be friends with her because she is so quiet and I don’t know if I would take to her because she would be to quiet for me. My protagonist reminds me of a girl that goes to our school, she is very quiet and doesn’t talk a lot unless she is with a small group of people. She is making the book interesting because she might have her first high school boyfriend and she is the main character in the book.

    In my book (series)i have 4 main characters. Hannah, Spencer, Emily, and Aria. But my favorite is Emily. She is a swimmer and a very smart girl with a really nice boyfriend...now ex-boyfriend. Now after her best friend just was found dead under ground under her backyard she is reunited with her old bestfriends who stopped talking after Ali's death. Emily reminds me of one of my friends jenna because shes a little shy but gets along with people very well. She makes the book better with her good ideas and quick thinking.

    i think I have heard of this book before. It sound really good. I'm more into drama books but a girl with a lot of friends sound good too. Its a little like my book cause a lot of the people in my book are all friends in some way.

    The protagonist in my book is Ronnie, she is a rebellious teenager but she’s also very caring. Ronnie acts the way she does because her father was never in her life. I would try to be friends with Ronnie so I could try and help her with all of her problems. My protagonist reminds me kinda of my best friend. Ronnie makes the book better because most teenagers could probably relate to her.

    The protagonist in my book is a 12 year old girl who ran away from fostercare and is trying to convince everyone that she is a gypsy. She acts the way shes does because she was abused in foster care so shes a tough girl. Yes i would be friensd with her because she reminds me of my best friend. always looking to get out and never letting anybody help her because she believes shes stronger. Shes the only character in the book.

    World war II. The main character is “Wild Bill” he was a would war ii vet, Para trooper in the army and crazy at times. He grew up in south Philly, his best friend “babe” he went through a lot with him even if it was bad. He act the way he does because he is a world war ii vet and has been threw crazy times. I would be friends with him because he grew up in Philly and he was in the military and I want to be in the military and that is why I would be friends with him. Bill reminds me of my grand pop because they had some of the same situations. He makes the book good because he is the main character and some of the stories in the book are interesting.

    My book that i am reading now is Eagle Strike and my protagonist is Alex Rider. He is the main character and is british and i would definitely be friends with him. He is a very tuff kid because he is a secret agent and is very smart. He also hates the antagonist in my book because he wants to kill Alex.

    The name of my book is "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". The main character of my book is Greg Heffley. Greg is not a popular kid everybody thinks that he is a loser. They think he is a loser because his best friend is a werido. I would be friends with him because he is smart and he is nice. Greg makes the book better because he is sarcastic funny so it is very humorious.

    What you wrote reminds me of my grandfather also. He died in war. Its kind of cool that you have the same name as your character and you want to be the same thing he was. Sounds like a pretty good book.

    The book I’m reading is time enough for drums by Ann Rinadli. The protagonist in the book is john Reid he is a strong a wised guy. I would like to be friends with my protagonist because he seems like a nice person. The protagonist makes the book better because it’s prehistorically fiction. The protagonist reminds me of my father by being strong a wised and knows what to do when something is wrong.

    My protagonist name is Charlie Bone. He is the type of person that would do anything to help out someone in need. He reminds me of one of my best friends. I would be best friends with this kid. I would hope he would help make me a better person.

    I most likely would not like to read your book. It seems like the perfect book for you. I just don't think i would like your book. I would most likely feel like I was reading the bible.

    my protagonist is a guy who is in the army his name is charle. he is the type of person who believes in true rights such as if someone is wrong about something that they should take the punishment for what ever they did wrong. he reminds me of this kid in my shop because this kid always wants people to get into trouble if they did something wrong.

    The protagonist in my book would be the girls teacher. ALl she wants to do is help the little girl because she can tell she has a hard life. I personally would not be friends with her because shes a teacher and much like the little girl i would think shes just trying to use me as a pity case and doesnt really want to help me even if she does. She remidns me of my old italian teacher because my old teachcer use to do the same thing. She loved me and genuinly cared about me and helping me when i needed it. She made the begining of the book better but shes not really in it anymore because the girl ran away.

    The protagonists in my book are Samantha and Juliana. These two girls have been bestfriends forever and right before the end of senior year juliana started to get pains in her hip,she went to 13 different doctors to figure out what was wrong. It turns out that Juliana was diagnosed with cancer. Samantha gets upset and worries because they have been trying to keep their friendship in line but its hard with all of samantha's chemotherapy. As days go by Sam gets even more ill.
    I would be friends with Samantha and Juliana. They are both very nice girls and seem to be nothing but true to eachother, meaning they are always there for one another no matter what the situation is. This book reminds me of my friend nicole and I. We have been bestfriends for the longest times, we've gotten into fights but no matter what we were always there for eachother no matter what the situation may be. Samantha and Juliana make this book a lot more interesting then it may seem because its basically telling a story of two best friends struggling to keep their friendship in line, while dealing with one being diagnosed with cancer and having to go through so much chemotherapy. Also it is interesting learning about how two friends care so much about one another then seeing what one would do if either one of them ended up getting very ill or something bad happening to them.

    Kyle is the protagonist, he thinks he is God's gift to everyone. Just because you have good looks and are popular doesn't mean everyone should bow down to you and hand you everything on a silver platter. I would NOT be friends with him, I wouldn't be able to trust him, not knowing if he would stab me in the back once I turn around. I had a friend last year, whom I was always there for her, but then when things didn't go her way, she turned on me and starting telling lies about me, etc... Even though I don't trust Kyle, I keep on reading in hopes that he will change and wake up!
