Prince Trellis

Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of Character Development


If your father was the elf king what would you do? In the Amulet by Kazu kibuishi Trellises father is the king of elves.In the begning  of the Amulet Prince Trellises  is evil. However he  changes into a good person in the end.

Trellises is stonekeeper like Em. A reason that Trellises is evil is because he took em’s mother.
Another reason that he’s evil is that he attacked Em and tried to make her evil.  Finally he sent some of his men after Em to kill her but she got away.

The catalysts in this story is when one of his own men attack him and left him in a forest to die.
trellis saved Em from another evil stone keeper. He also saved Em’s  mother from a man who was trying to kill her.

In the overall story Prince Trellis changed. If Trellis changed then anyone can change for better or worse.

Count. Dracula


Author's note: I wrote this piece to demostrate my understanding of Point of View

Extra extra, read all about it! Count Dracula tells his side of the story. Hello, I am count Dracula now behave kids or I will drink your blood. The book Dracula tells the story from everybody’s point of view but mine.

So I did bite those two girls but I was hungry and they looked so good. You are probably wondering why I hired that man. I did that because I wanted his blood and I needed to find a place to put all 50 of my coffins.

If  the book was written in my point of view,  you would act a bit nicer to me
You would probably be angry at those mean humans . It shows you that point of view  is important in a story

Well kids that’s all I have for today thank you for behaving nicely. Point of view is important in every story because it gives the reader different feelings about all the characters .

Oscar

Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of creative pieces


Taste
If my dog Oscar was food, he would melt in your mouth like a piece of dark chocolate. Oscar would feel like a big and fluffy marshmallow in my mouth. When I swim with Oscar, he is like ice cream cooling me down on a hot summer day.
Touch
When I pet my dog’s ears they are as smooth as silk. However, when I rub my dog’s belly, it jiggles like jello. The pads of my dog’s paws are rough like sandpaper when I hold one of his paws.
See
At night, my dog Oscar is like a shadow of darkness. When Oscar plays in the snow he is cute
as a bunny. When the sun shines on Oscar his fur shines like gold.
Smell
When Oscar farts its like a stink bomb went off. Also, Oscar’s breath is like garbage. When I get too close to him, it feels like someone threw a fish at my nose.
Hear
Oscar’s bark is like a lion’s roar. When Oscar grumbles it’s like a volcano going off.  However, when Oscar does not do any of these things he is silent as a Ninja.

Taste
Marshmallows and chocolates are my two favorite desserts.  Eating marshmallows is like eating clouds while enjoying their fluffy goodness. Chocolate melts in your mouth like a wave of deliciousness.
Touch
When I pet my dog’s ears they are as smooth as silk. However when I rub my dog’s belly, it jiggles like jello. The pads of my dog’s paws are rough like sandpaper when I hold one of his paws.
See
Our Christmas tree is like a party to my eyes. Snow to my eyes are like little crystals.  At night, my dog Oscar is a shadow of darkness.
Smell
When the Christmas cookies are done, a wave of goodness swims in to my nose.  The pine needles poke at my nose like sharp needles.  The warm aroma of the fire floats through my nose
Hear
Oscar’s bark is like a lion’s roar. The wind howled like a child screaming. The crackling of the fire is music to my ears.
