Jeff VS Me

There are many common things and different things between Jeff and me. Jeff is a main charector and he's a teenager like me. The common things about us is first we both didn't talk much with our father, but when the time passes we get more closer and we became comfortasble with father. Also we both are introverted, but later Jeff gets extroverted. In addition he two best friends who are really close to Jeff and I also have two best friend in Seoul but we meet once in 6mounths. Lastly he don't cares about his grade but later he little bit cares now because of his father and I also didn't cared about my grade until 8th grade but after I became high school student my parents cared too much so I became careful about my grade. However the different thing is he miss his mother too much when he was young but when he gets older he hates his mom. But my situation is oppisite.. I fought many times with my mother when I was young but these day my mother and I get closer. Also he likes nature, boats and animals. However I don't like nature because I'm not interested in nature. Instead of nature I like computer and TV. In addition he lives only with his father and I don't. Lastly he is smart and genious. However I'm not. Although we have many things in common and different things but I want to be like him and I really really respect him.

Hi, Richard! It is quite interesting that you could find the similarities with main character in the point of family. Why does the main character in your book feels hatred when he gets older? I am quite curious about that point. However, good entry! I could a little bit know about the main character of your novel through this entry.

I think there are lots of similarities with Jeff and me too, which seems you and I have similarities. I am a teenager also who is a student. And I'm introverted. I want to change my personality a little. There is some part I really like about myself but in some view I am very negative person. I don't talk a lot with my father like Jeff. It is hard to change this stuff. And sometimes when I fight with my mother or brother I get closer to them too. I think you read a really good book that I might want to read. Great job!!

Isn't it cool to find similarities between you and characters? I think that is what enhances us to get engrossed in books - it sounds real. And when we find differences, it helps us to understand life. We can recognize differences between people and learn how to understand them and apply that to our real lives. So I think comparing ourselves and the characters help us not only to get invovled with the book but also have better relationships in our lives.

Hi, this is Elizabeth from Mr. Munson's Reading for Pleasure class. When I am reading, I try to find things that make me like the main character if I enjoy the book. I think sometimes it makes the book more fun because we are more involved with what is happening and what will happen next. It also helps us to see our strengths and weaknesses and our aspirations through how the character acts.

hey Richard. I like the way you compared yourself with the main character of the book. I am also kind of curious how the main character feels hatred when he gets older. Another thing I am curious is how can you find so many kinds of similarities and differences between you and the main character.
