Describe an event or person in your book that reminds you of someone or something in your life.


message 2: by Daniel Arroyo (new)

Daniel Arroyo | 27 comments The author in the book I am reading reminds me of my brother. He is so into video games and when he gets a new game he is stuck to that game and he will not stop playing it until he is done with it. The game itself is playing tricks on the main character and she doesn't have a clue what is going on because she thinks it is real life. My brother would love to have a virtual video game I think he would go crazy if he did play one.

Becca (rewashed) | 21 comments Lilly, the little sister of the main character in my book, reminds me of my niece Gavyn. She's sweet when someone's upset but very self centered other wise. She's 3 though so it's pretty common behavior.

Jaffer | 23 comments i think i can relate to Simon in my book, lord of the flies, because i am always the one who's got the ideas and just like him when he tries to create peace amongst the people, i think i try to do that too


Adilene Macedo  | 27 comments Jamee is the sister of Darcy, Jamee reminds me so much of my sister because she prefers sometimes to ignore what is going around her.


emmanuel gonzalez  | 21 comments Well my book is based on the life of a high school student so every time i see people on the hall. they remind me of the people on the book.

Kenesha  (niecey) | 27 comments I think that I can kinda of relate to Serena. Like in sixth grade, I never really had any friends, that is until Ginna talked to me at lunch one day. Serena went through kind of the same situation. She was new to school, had no friends, and was by herself for the first time in her school life. That is until a girl from her class asked to her lunch and befriended her.

Gina Lamm | 27 comments Toboe reminds me of myself because I don't like it when my friends fight or separate.


Treasure McCarver | 17 comments one of the main characters remind me of myself. Her and mom don't always see eye to eye and its like that with me at home. The daughter wants to do one thing but the mother stops her in some kind of way, but its just a phase of life that everybody goes through.


message 10: by Julianna Clemmer (new)

Julianna Clemmer | 17 comments Carrie is a very easy person to relate to, everyone has been picked on at some point in their life whether it is by a sibling or a classmate. I was always picked on by my older brother, but that’s just what older brothers do, so I can understand her why she’s so shy and depends mainly on herself and her mother.


message 11: by Kristen Ford (new)

Kristen Ford | 3 comments The connection between Sorcha and and her brother Finbar reminds me of my sister and me, close to the point of being able to feel the other's feelings without them having to say anything.


message 12: by Anthony Jaques (new)

Anthony Jaques | 25 comments Billy Pilgrim reminds me of a lot of people in band. Just kind of stumbling around in life, making everyone else compensate for their weaknesses.


message 13: by Eliana Lechuga (new)

Eliana Lechuga | 20 comments Claire is an easy person to like, she tries to help her friends by using her strange ability. She reminds me of my sister, she knows when somebody needs help and she helps them.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

Mary strangely enough reminds me of my father. She's trying to figure out things way above her head in order to reveal some of earths secrets. I mean this in a totally loving and not accusing him of being crazy kind of way.


message 15: by Patrick, Cueva (new)

Patrick, Cueva | 18 comments some people can be very secretive and quiet, keep their dark secrets to themselves and never telling a single person for day months or even years. like my mom finally told me the reason she divorced my father when i turned 14.


message 16: by Katelyn Baker (new)

Katelyn Baker | 18 comments I think that my character reminds me a bit of every person, they are looking for love (whatever form it might be, i.e. pet, lover, friend, etc.) and some find it difficult to find/hold onto that love. She reminds me that we all want love in the end and some times we are willing to put our lives on the line for that love.


message 17: by Christina (new)

Christina | 7 comments Halley's mom is controlling and is always butting in Halley's life. They used to always confide in each other but now that shes a teenager there slowly drifting apart. Halley's mom reminds me of my dad they seem to have the same characteristics.

message 20: by Ricky (new)

message 23: by Sunshine Kemp (new)

Sunshine Kemp | 23 comments in some way zoey reminds me of myself. in the way that she is very nice to everyone she meets but if its someone she can tell is going to be a bad influence then she won't really be friend them. and the determination that zoey has i am able to find that same determination if i really need too. like now would be really awesome so i can pass my classes.

Shannon | 16 comments Describe an event or person in your book that reminds you of someone or something in your life.

The main character in my story reminds me of myself a very long time ago. I relate to her feeling of hopeless depression, being so low you don't want to get out.
