1. An author has a number of literary tools available to "pull" the reader into the story he/she is creating. Based on your reading so far, rate this author's use of literary devices.2. Are you an active participant in the story or merely a passive reader? Explain your response.
I give the author's literary devices a ten out ten because some or the words are very creative and those word make me want to see what else Becker or anyone in the story will use.
ReplyDeletei would also give the author a 10/10 on his cleverness with words.
ReplyDeleteI forgot:
ReplyDeleteI am a ptrticement because the author uses such detailed words.
I would give the author a 4/10 because some word were catchy but other were kind of stupid. Some words were also very cathcy but others were just plain dumb. I hated the book so this is probably why I am so harsh, but it's my decision.
ReplyDeleteI am a passive reader because it didn't grasp my attention an keep me there.
Alex,
You made a typo in your last comment and it threw my off. What did you mean by that?
Ben,
Why did you give the author a 10/10 on cleverness? What was clever??? Give some examples because I am sort of lost on why you found it so "Clever."
I would give it a 10/10 because of her choice of words and plot. I am a participant in the story because it felt like I was in the story.
ReplyDeleteKaci, why did you hate this book. What would have made it beter to you?
I would probably give this book a 4/10 also. I too disliked the book. I agree with Kaci, some words were catchy, and others not needed.
ReplyDeleteI would be a passive reader because it really wasn't my choice to read the book and it didn't (like Kaci said) pull me in.
Kaci, I didn't really like the book either, but why do you say some words were "stupid?" I kind of disagree. No words are stupid. Some words are unecessary, but not stupid. Sorry, I just don't like the way you said that.
I agree with Sierra. Well articulated.
ReplyDeleteI like the explanations of why you were passive. I think choice had a big thing to do with it. You will get to choose the next one.
Ok!! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI think the author used suspense and mystery to "pull" the reader into the story. O'd give it a 6/10. ] I'm an active reader in this story. I am because it's hard for me to put the book down.
