Reading Log # 1 The book that I am reading is called,"Secrets of My Hollywood Life". The main Characters in the book are Kaitlin Burke, she is the narrator ( the book is about her). In the text it states, "It's a glamorous life, but sixteen year old Kaitlin Burke, costar of one of he hottest shows on T.V, is exhausted fom the pressures of fame" pg 1.Kaitlin is the costar on a popular T.V show, her mom is the manager in the book and her dad is a retired car salesmen but then became Kaitlin's producer. Without a maneger or producer Kaitlin wouldn't have a carrer. Liz Mendes (best friend) and Nadine Cobb are her assistants, they help katilin with here every need. In the book so far Kaitlin is dynamic, she changes in her personalitiy and in her thoughts. At first she absolutely love her job woking on T.V and being famous, later in the story she gets tired of all the pressuer that comes with having fame. The mom and the dad are static, they basiclly stay the same. Mr. and Mrs. Burke are always just mom, dad, maneger and producer. "Kates.Katie? KAITLIN! get up!" Nadine, Katlin's maneger, muffled voice calls.....". pg 3 Reading log #2 There is a sene in the book where Shara and Samantha, the charecters Kaitlin and her costar play, before the director yelled action "Sky clocked me over the head with her pink Barbie Corvette." pg 2 They had to delay the show for a week while the bump on Kaitlains head went down. This sene is important because first you need to find out how the characters get along of how so you know what kind of relationship they have. This sence definitly creates conflict beetween these to, the theme (truth of life) is that not everyone will get along with each other. Within this scene Kaitlin ovcourse is mad but she dosen't do anything about it. This is still the exposition we are still getting to know the characters and how they behave. I don't understand why she would do that they barley know each other and Sky plays the lead so, is she jealous. I predicte that some how the mom is going to find out what happened and who did it and shes going to take Kaitlin out of the show. Reading log #3 The main conflict in this tory is trying to keep Kaitlins double life hidden while she goes to school as Rachel. To know weather this is an important event or a confict we need to know the meanining of these to words. A conflict is a fight,battle or struggle an event is something that occurs in a certain place during a particular interval of time. In this case it is a conflict because she struggles with something. This is a problem because if kids at her school find out her school everey one is going to be all over her. By this I mean autographs and pictures,this would inpact her education and focus. Because of her bieng a celebrity she has to hid her real identoty to everyone hence, becoming Rachel. In the book she tels her agent "how I'm I supposed to keep my identity hidden..... I can become someon else." This conflict is some what resoved, Kailin does keep her identy hidden but lives a double life. Reading log #4 Hyacinth Bridgertoni the youngest child (22) of the huge Bridgerton family. She is on her way of becoming an old maid even though Hyacinth has had many proposals, she never wanted to marry any of her these men. Gareth St. Clairis is the grandson of Lady Danbury, Hyacinth's good friend and society "grand dame" as. Hyacinth reads to the Lady Danbury each Tuesday, she has had few conversations with her grandson.Gareth arrives at his grandmother's house on a Tuesday and requests that she translates his grandmother's diary, which is written in Italian. After Hyacinth reads the first few entries she tells Gareth," Your grandmother, Isabella, has hid rare precious jewels somewhere at his family home." (pg 16) Gareth is anxious to find the jewels and claim them as his own. I would say that Hyacinth is staic her personality and actions don't change. But, Gareth is dynamic at first she seemed as a typicall nice gut but when he learnes about the jewls he becomes aggressive insisting they belong to him. An example of this is a quote from the book after he confronts his father and askes him is he knew about the jewls, "Gareth felt his teeth grinding. This was his father’s routine—ignoring him for just long enough to act as a reminder that he found him beneath notice." Reading log #5 This book is called the Selection the mian character America Singer is the protagonist in this book. Maxon Calix Schreave is another main character in this book he is America's love interest. He was the former prince of Illéa (where the story takes place). America is in cast 5, she has been dating a boy Aspen, cast 4. I would say that America is a Dynamic Character because she statrs as a middle class citizen but then enters the selection and gets chossen to live in a palace. Which she then marries Maxon. Maxon is a static character he dosn't change he never wants to change. He lives his life as a upper class citizen. Aspen is dynamic as well in the book it states, " I wouldn't change for anyone, never should I stray from the life style I live" (pg.20). But later in the book he says," I wish I was there with America, by her side in cast 35" (pg 47). Reading log #6 The main conflict in this story is when America gets chosen to live a lavish lif with Prince Maxon of Illéa. She entered along with 35 other girls, but she entered as a joke and never thought she would actually get picked. This is a conflict because if she was picked, which she did, she would have to marry the prince then becom ethe queen. She already had a boyfirnd that was about to marry her and then this happend. This affects America, Maxon, Aspen, all thier parents, Sibilings and the king and queen. I the book it states," Leaving behind my love woll destroy me" (pg 63). Bieng picked was a nightmare for America, it meant leaving her secret love,family, and life behind. This is an internal conflict, she is faced with the challenge of becoming queen and leaving her real love for a prince. America says," I think I have feelings for him Aspen, I'm sorry" (pg 86). By the end of the book America ends up marring Maxon but she is still friends with Aspen. |
