Teen Idol by Meg Cabot

Significance

This book is important because it tells about what a real teenager goes through. Meg Cabot is an awesome author because she understands about things, all kinds of things. That's why this book was so awesome. This book also shows that people can be anything they want to as long as they try hard.

Perspective

This story is being told by the main character, Jenny Greenly. Everyone thinks of Jenny as the nice girl next door. Then a movie star comes to her school and she is his personal tour guide. He shows her that she always does the good thing that only lasts for a little bit and she has to fix it again. He helps her to see what she should do instead.

Evidence

This book has a few arguments. Jenny and her BFF have a fight and Jenny relies on her so she doesn't know what to do. The movie star is trying to change her life and is succeeding. She is in love with one of her friends from school. She's not sure if her likes her back. She is trying to keep it a secret that she is the person in the school newspaper that everyone writes their problems to. Most of these problems are solved towards the end.

Connection

This story is connected to the real world because in the real world (specifically school) people get teased, people need help, and most of all people need friends. All of this connects to the book because that is the message that the author is trying to get out.

Supposition

If the author changed the story a little and maybe instead of a movie star giving her advice it was one of her friends. The story would be a little different. But i would be a lot different in the end too, when one thing was supposed to happen but another does.

Cupidity by Caroline Goode

Significance

This book is significant because it's about gods and by reading this book you can learn more about the different gods. This book is about cupid coming down to earth and turning himself into a mortal. He tries to set people up and names himself Cupidity. Then the other god's come to check up on him and everything goes berserk. Cupid gets shot with his own arrow and forgets all about his mission.

Perspective

This story is told from the main character, Laura Sweeney's, point of view. She tells it the way a teenager would and that makes it sound like a teenager actually wrote the book.

Evidence

The author really did a good job creating conflict, because there is so much conflict in the middle of the book and then she solved all of the problems in the end. I mean, first "Cupidity" shot all the wrong people and so people who used to hate each other are now in love. Then Laura shoots "Cupidity" with an arrow so she gets all lovey and doesn't remember anything. And then the author solves all the problems and everyone lives happily ever after (sappy, isn't it?).

Connections

This story connects to the real world because people fall in love all the time and there are a lot of problems. Although, Cupid doesn't usually come and try to get you a boyfriend, does he? This was influenced by the past because in the olden days a lot of people believed in different types of mythology and different gods. This could affect the future because maybe in the future gods will come and grant wishes. (Yeah right)

Supposition

If this book was never published, then I wouldn't have learned so much about mythology. If it turned out that Laura figured out about "Cupidity" being Cupid earlier and everyone knew, then the book would have been boring because there was no conflict.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- J.K. Rowling

Signifigance

The signifigance of this book is that it is made up so it's really cool to see a story someone can make up. Reading made up books are also fun because they you don't know what else to expect.

Perspective

This story is told by the narrorator so she is looking down on the story instead of actually being in it. The author's point of view counts because an overviewer doesn't really take sides or focus on one person.

Evidence

The argument being made is that good always beats evil because in the end Harry kills Voldemort.

Connections

This book connects to the real world because in real life you have best friends and you sometimes argue with them. In the story Harry and Ron fight over Hermione.

Supposition

If this book was never published, I don't think it would affect anyone greatly because it hasn't really happened. If the author changed the problem and Voldemort was friendly, then the book would've been boring.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K Rowling

Significance

This book is important because it is really fun to read. It's fun because it's made up and it's cool to see what other people's minds can come up with. This book shows how one boy can go through so many things in one lifetime. It tells other people that if they try their best, they can get a lot accomplished.

Perspective

This book is told by the narrator because it is told by someone who is not in the story. But it still shows sometimes what someone's thinking.

Evidence

There is one argument in the end of this book about whether or not Harry really is the right person that Voldemort went after. The facts they had were the words that Professor Trelawney told Dumbleldore when she was under a curse. And a prophecy. This is not fact versus opinion because it's all opinion. When Professor Trelawney said these words she could've been talking about two people. Harry or Neville. Voldemort didn't listen to the whole thing so he just thought she was talking about Harry.

Connection

This book connects to the real world because a lot of people judged Harry and people judge now too. It also connects to the past because a lot of people earlier accused others of being witches and wizards and this books makes that true. It also connects to the future because maybe there will be witches and wizards in the future.

Supposition

If the author made Voldemort go after Neville instead, the whole plot would be changed, because it wouldn't be about Harry anymore. The book would be called "Neville Longbottom" instead.
