Am I like the character in the book?
When reading a book, it is fun to identify with the characters and it adds deeper meaning to the story when you can. Think about the main character of the book you are reading, Crispin or Catherine. Write at least three sentences discussing some similarities and differences you share with the character. Do not say there isn't anything to compare!

Main Character ; Cathrinen .
ReplyDeleteI really dont think i am like Cathrine. We are both girls. Well, i guess i could be like her some way. If i didnt like a certain guy, i would do the same. I would put on all sorts of ugly make-up to get rid of him. Though, i really wouldnt want to be a villager like she wished. I would be really glad my father owned a few manors.
The main charcater in my book is crispin.We share similarities because he was curius about how did he get his name and i'am curius to.We have differences because he was a serf and i'am not.
ReplyDeletesome things that make us alike is that sometimes we feel sad when our mothers dont feel appreciated.thats one thing that makes us alike
ReplyDeletecripin is kind of like me because he is pretty wise and knows what to do in hard places in the story.but sometimes hes very dumb like me{SOMETIMES}.He is also pretty fast like me when he runs!
ReplyDeleteme and crispin are kinda alike. he would run away from aangery mob and so would i . that is how we are kinda alike
ReplyDeleteI am like crispin becuse i am brave and i dont get scared easily .Also i am courious about a lot of things.Also like crispin i am strong
ReplyDeleteOne similarity I have with Crispin is we are both the same age.He is 13 and I am 13.One difference I have with Cripsin is that he has to run away to become free.I dont have to run away to be free. Another difference is he has to be a servant to Bear to possibly gain his trust. I have to be as polite and nice as can be to gain a adults trust or anyones trust for that matter.
ReplyDeleteCrispin and I aren't alike because he has to run for his life and I don't.A similarity is that he sometimes he doesn't do what he is told and I do that too.We both are also curious.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have any similarites because crispin is a serf and i am not. He has to run for his life and i dont.Last is he lived in medieval england and i live in 2012
ReplyDeleteI think that Catherine and I have a few similarities. One similarity is, that we both hate being forced into things. Another thing we have in common is that we both think that we should marry for love and not for money and parent aproval. Those are things that Catherine have in common.
ReplyDeleteThere are not many comparisons of me and Crispin, but I know of only two. Crispin and I are alike because we are both children. Crispin and I are also alike because we both lost someone close to our heart.
ReplyDeleteI think that one simalarite that I share with the character was that he got nervous when the big guy talked to him. I would have done that to. I also would have gone out of town.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that me and crispin have in common is that we are both 13. Another thing that we have in common is that we both go to church , but he prays a lot of times each day. Also we both really like our mothers even though his is dead
ReplyDeleteI'm like Crispin because I do back breaking labor too.
ReplyDeleteI think I am like Crispin because we are both cautious of danger.Another similarity is that we both try to hide from our problems for him he was literally hiding from his and for me I ignore my problems.One more similarity is that we both have friends that we can trust like he has Cerdric.
ReplyDeleteA similarity is that he's around my age.A difference is that he had a tougher time in life than i'm having.We both have had tougher time than others in life.
ReplyDeleteIm not like the character because both of my parents are there to support me. However i kind of am like the character because i also like to snoop around. So on that note i am like the character but not like the character at the same time.
ReplyDeleteCrispin has a curious,sneeky,and adventurous personality. I can relate my self to Crispin, because I as well have a curious personality. At times I have gotten my self in to trouble for being curious at home. On the other hand I feel that Crispin is very diffrent from my self, because he is adventurous and he is not afraid of taking risk. As for me I like to keep myself organized so I know what to expect.
ReplyDeleteI think I am a bit like Crispin because I am cautious of suspicious acts and I keep quiet until it is absolutely necessary to talk. I am also similar to him because I am nervous and I worry too much(Crispin probably doesn't worry as much as me, but it shows up in the book). One thing that I don't have in common with Crispin is gender!! He's a boy and I'm a girl. . . Well, a real(better) characteristic that is different from mine is that he can't read. In the middle of the book, he said he didn't know his letters well. I'm glad I can read!! :)
ReplyDeleteIf i were to compare myself to Crispin , i would say me & him are both brave. We go out doing things we know can get us in trouble , but its not an adventure if u don't risk anything. I think we are different in the way that if i saw someone damaging my property i would do something about it. Also if someone talked to me in a disrespectful tone , i would do something about it. I think that i would probably get revenge to (:
ReplyDeletewell to begin with i think the book is boring.one thing is that similar is that me and crispin are under our parents shawdo. They compare us of our acts of our parents.
ReplyDeletecrispin is sorta like me in a few ways.He is a young boy and is outlawed for a crime he did not commit. He does what i would do,if i was accused of false crime, i would want to know why
ReplyDeleteWhile reading Crispin i realized i have sort off a similar situation as his he didnt have his dad by his side all the time and neither did i except my father is still alive.Some differences i have to him is that im not as afraid as he is to adults i may be scare but not as much.Another thinq we have in common is that we both had have struggled through are childhood.
ReplyDeleteHi!! Im Samantha Wachowski from 3rd period. There are sooo many characteristics and things that Crispin and I have in common, but I will only say two.... 1)Crispin and I both have only one adult in our lives that we seriously trust. 2)We get accused of things for no apperant reason whatsoever. One thing that we dont have in common is...1)I live in a world where I am not owned, and in Crispins time you were owned as a serf.... not a slave.
ReplyDeleteThere is not much i can compare with my character.Although I can find differences.Unlike the character,I didn't have any mystery with my parents.
ReplyDeletemy main character is crispin.i dont know the difference between them.Niether there similarties.but i know that their both living a hard life.
ReplyDeleteYasmin F1 My main character is crispin some similarites are that there living a rough life.I dont know the diffrences between them or similarities between them.All i know is i think catherine is living in medival times too.
ReplyDeleteOne similarity I have with Crispin is we're about the same age.One difference is I have both my parents he is an orphan.And one last difference is I am not as religious as he is.
ReplyDeleteThere are some diffrences and similarities the charecter Crispin and I share.A difference is that Crispin lives in a time were it was a strugle to stay alive and the people treat him bad.A thing that we have in commen is that we are both around the same age.
ReplyDeleteI think that I am similar to Crispin because we both would be afraid to get killed. I think this because if I were being chased I would of ran as far as I could. We are different because I wouldnt trust anyone but Crispin has and they have betrayed him.
ReplyDeleteme and cripsin are really different because he dosent do anything when he man takes his ox and if it was me i would just do the opposite of what crispin does. Also i would not of runned away when he heard that he had to give up the ox.
ReplyDeleteI am like crispin because we both think that Lord Funervial is a cruel mean man.Also because we both belive in god.Thats a couple reasons we are alike
ReplyDeleteI am alike to crispin in one way.I am alike with him becouse they treated him unfair.And sometimes people treat me unfair like how they treated crispin.
ReplyDeleteone similiarity that we have is that we are both kids. one difference between us is that he has to fight for his life and stay away from certain people in order to live and i dont. those are the similiarities crispin and i have.
ReplyDeletegabe s per 1 one similarity that i have with crispin if he has hair he can talk to priests.a difference i have is he lived back in the early days.alas crispin and i both problems in life
ReplyDeleteCrispin seems shy and not very outgoing because he has no one by his side. I am in some way similar to that because i am shy and not very outgoing myself. So this is a similarity that i have with the character Crispin.
ReplyDeleteI am similar to Crispin in many ways.One is that I believe in God.Second is that I never quit unless I try my hardest.I am also diffrerent because he used faith to guide him on his quest but I use resaon to solve things I have trouble on.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Blanton, I went on the blog today and didnt see my posting.If you dont mind, I am just writing another post to make sure I got the credit.Thanks!One similarity I have with Crispin is that we are both the same age. He is 13 and I am 13. One difference I have with Crispin is he has to run away to be free from his master. I have freedom so i dont have to run away. Another difference I have with Crispin is he has to serve for people to at least gain their respect and trust. Although I have to do some of it too, i dont have to serve people to gain their respect and trust.
ReplyDeletei am sorry I did not get your reply posted earlier. Thank you for following up on it!
DeleteI am reading crispin. We have a few things in common but some things we dont. We are in common because crispin is a adolescent like me. We are different because if mot living in the middle ages, also crispin is going through mant problems and i have never gone threw them. I cant imagine being him.
ReplyDeleteI think I am similar because he trust the priest and i trust my friends. I am different from Crispin because I dont hide when I am accused of doing something. I tell somebody that i didn't do something. But it is different because he would killed.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book Crispin.I am different to him because i dont have a cruel life like him.I also have both of my perents wich makes my life way different!
ReplyDeleteAm I like Crispin? In some ways I am and in other ways I am not. Like when he trusted the young boy, when he said that the pope told him that he would not be there. I probably wouldn't have trusted him. One way I am similar to Crispin is how strong he is. Not physically but emotionally. There are some areas in the book where I can totally relate to Crispin and I think it is pretty cool because it helps me understand the book a lot better.
ReplyDeleteOne major difference is that Crispin lives in the Middle Ages, and I don't. Also he is being hunted down, and I am not. A similarity is that we are around the same age and we are both boys.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Crispin and one way we are alike is I don't know how to juggle. Another way Crispin and I are alike is we are both 13. There are alot of differences between Crispin and I like I wasn't declared a wolfs head. Also, my mom and dad are still alive.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Crispin and I have many things in common. Although, we do have one thing in common. I have also been acussed of something I didn't do. This is all I could think of.
ReplyDeleteCrispin and I have mant differences . One of the differences would be the support I get in my life. Crispin gets practically no support from anyone except his mother who ends up dying. I have a lot of support in my life that I am very grateful for. I know that I could not succed without it.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Crispin, and I can see a few similarities and differences. Crispin and I are similar because when he was travling, he was very nervous, and unsure of what was happening, I get unsure of what I'm doing in new places, sometimes. Crispin and I are different because I wouldn't have trusted a person I didn't know telling me to go a certain way, If I was in the trouble Crispin was in.
ReplyDeleteI dont think i am like Crispin very much because he is super brave and i would never go running out into the forests. But i am sort of like him because he is being independent and i can relate to that. But i am more unlike him than i am like him.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Crispin. One similarity that I have with Crispin is that he is afraid and I probably might too. One difference is that he is willing to get out of there but I wouldn't do that I will be too scared.
ReplyDeleteA difference is that at the beginning the character is like confused. Which I am not confused, so that would be a difference. Another difference is that Crispin's mother died, so he is kind of alone.
ReplyDeleteCrispin and I do share some differences and similarities. A difference a that Crispin lives during the 14th century and I live during the 21st century. Another difference is that Crispin is currently a servant and is being hunted down. Plus he has lost his mother. Nothing like this is happening or has happened to me. A similarity is is that we're both 13. Another similarity is that we've both had some kind of struggle in our life, but not as bad as eachother's.
ReplyDeletea simularity between crispen and I is that we are both 13. Also bad things happen to me as well as crispen. Finally tho we are different because he lived a bad time and i live in a fun time!
ReplyDeleteCrispin and i are similar because at one poinjt we have a someone die in our family.A diffrence is that he is afraid of peopel and i am not.Therefor me and crispin are very similar.
ReplyDeleteCrispin and have our similarities and differences.one similarity that we share is that we are both 13 years old.And one difference that we share is that the whole Stormford does not treat him fairly as the rest of the town.And people that I know do mostly treat me fairly.
ReplyDeleteOne way I am similar to Crispin is that we both have had someone we cared about die. One difference is that he is older than me. Also that I have not been declared a "wolfs head".
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs, Blanton i didn't see my post i wrote it yesterday and i guess i am going to do it all over . . Well me and crispin have some personality and some differences. Two differences that me and crispin have is that i live in Napa,California, U.S.A and crispin lives in medieval europe. One similarities that crispin and i have are, we get all the blamed on stuff we didn't cause. Another difference that crispin and i have, is that he is a peasant and I'm not.
ReplyDeleteMariana, I got it this time and I like your reply! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs. Blanton I really appreciated that.
DeleteI think Crispin is like me in a way because sometimes I get in trouble and didn't want to.We are different because he is a boy.Also he lives during the medieval times and I live during 2000's.
ReplyDeletei dont find any similarites between me an catherine.. well one dinffrence is that my parents would never force me to do marry an old guy that i dont like. an well i guess the only similarity is that we ar both girls. an also she dosent like the life that shes been giving an i like mine!
ReplyDeleteI think crispin is alot like me he is a boy and so im i haha. He liveis in the midle ages and i live in 2012. we bove get introuble with out trying to get into trouble. Thats how i think were alike...
ReplyDeleteCheyanne G.6 I think i'm like Crispin because i get in trouble but not as bad as him.And me and him both cared about the ones we lost
ReplyDeleteAnnarose M.2 i do get in trouble like him, but it never that serious that i am called a wolfs head.Some differences are that i have never been blamed for something, then been chanced and wanted to be killed.One more difference is that he used to live ina village and a hut and i have never lived in either.
ReplyDeleteI am like Crispin becaus crispin i do have some problems in my family.Crispin gets in truble I also get in truble som times.Sow that is whaw I can be related to Crispin in the book
ReplyDeleteI think that i'm like Chrispin in some ways. One is that i never break my word. Another is that I will always try my hardest. I am also not like Crispin in that i have both of my parents.
ReplyDeleteCrispan is my character.I can be similar to him by me being curiuos and sad when someone dies.Also I like,but I wouldn't have fallen on the ground ,I have really good balance.I thought we would have had no differences, but I guess we do.
ReplyDeletei`m sort of like crispin because i sometimes get in-trouble but its usually when its fun not all the times. I`m like crispin because he is smart of get out of stuff i`m like that too.
ReplyDeleteI think that i am like Catherine in many ways. First, Because I am a young girl she is 14 and I'm 13. Another reason is that Catherine can be very sneaky when she doesn't like something ,Like if she doesn't want something to happen she makes sure it doesn't, That's like me ! Lastly I think Catherine is really strong, I think that in a way I'm kind of strong like her !
ReplyDeleteIn some ways I am like Crispin by being a boy. i am diffrent than him by having both of my parents alive. Also I am not a servant.That is how I am same and not the same as Crispin
ReplyDeleteim cind of like crispin because when the mob started chasing him it was scary.and it is scary when my mom chases me to so thats why i think crispin and i are alike.
ReplyDeleteI am similiar to the character in one way.The one way is we both love our mom very much.When his mom died he was so sad and he was devistated. If my mom died like his i would be just as sad as he was.
ReplyDeletei think im similar and different then Catherine i alot of ways. a difference is my life may be controlled by my parent but im not forced to marry someone i barley know. second shes a young girl and so am i. lastely Catherine is different because she lives in the past where life was difficult amd i live in the time now and life is a little difficult but not as bad.
ReplyDeletei think i am simular and differant to crispen and one reason is that we are both 13. Another reason is that he gets into trouble and so do i but i don't get into as much trouble as him. The reason why he is different is he lived in the dark ages and i live in the 20 first century.
ReplyDeleteI think that i am the charecter in the book because he feels allown and i feel that way sometimes.sometimes my mom volenteers alot and she sometimes forgets about me and i feel allown. but it hurts him more because his mom died and he is getting hunted down by all the peaplr in the village.
ReplyDeleteThe main charecter is Catherine.I dont think i am that much like her.My parents let me go places and her parents wont let her go to the village.We arent realy alike but she hates her chores and would rather do something else just like me.
ReplyDeleteSomething that me and the character crispin,have in similarity is that we both have been accused for something we did not do.The difference is that i was not accused to death.Like crispin he was accused to death.
ReplyDeleteI am like Crispin because i am brave and i don't get scared easily .Also i am curious about a lot of things.Also like Crispin i am strong.The reason why he is different is he lived in the dark ages and i live in the 20 first century.
ReplyDeleteme and crispin are very similar because i am brave. i dont give up easily unless it is absolutely impossible. how we are differant is hes a boy im a girl, i wouldnt risk my life over anything. besides family..
ReplyDeletemy character is crispin.i am like him because we are both boys.i am also like him because i some times get in trubel.a difrence is that peopel dont want to kill me.
ReplyDeleteI am like the character because I stick to my feeling. When I believe in something I don't back down. I'm not like crispin because I don't run away from my problems. But if I was in his situation I would have left too.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm like crispin. One thing he does that I wouldn't run away. He is a lot more independent than me.
ReplyDeleteGavin I totaly agree with your choice. I know that you wouldn't run away like Crispin might.But I also think you're alot more independent than you think you are, not as indepedent as Crispin but, still realy independent.
DeleteMy character is crispin I am like him because he is very cautious.He is not like me because I dont have people after me.Thats how we are different and the same.
ReplyDeletei am like crispen i never give up on anything unless i know i cant do it.plus i am not like him because hes a boy,and i am a girl.and i would do ant thing to save myself and family.
ReplyDeletei'm like crispin because he gets sometimes in truoble but not all the times.he is also like because he is pretty smart.i'm not like him becasue i'm not been hunted down by other people. that how we are differnt and the same
ReplyDeleteMe and Crispin are similar because , I don't give up easily like him.I also stick to my feelings like crispin. How we are different is that he's a boy and I'm a girl and I don't get in trouble like him.
ReplyDeletei dont really think that i am like crispin.The only thing i can think of is that i can be curius sometimes like he is.A differences is that i have some respect but he didnt.
ReplyDeletei am kind of alike to crispin.i am because he does not like getting into trouble and neither do i.this is one thing that me and crispin share but i know he has more problems to face then me.
ReplyDeletemy character is Catherine. I think me and Catherine are not alike at all only in one way. if I were Catherine I would also hate my parents controlling my life and not giving me any liberty. that is the only thing we are alike in.
ReplyDeleteI absolutley dont believe me and the character crispin are alike in any way.Other than we are both kids who have trouble in life;just as any other kid as.
ReplyDeleteI am not like this character at all because he does not have any family to be there for him . no one went to his mothers funeral and he lives in a bad neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it to the blog! Thanks for your response.
DeleteCrispin and I are not alike there are so many ways I could say. But I would rather go with the first choice.Crispin has to run away from his life and I don't :D. Also when he gets told to do something. He does not listen that is one thing I have in common wih this young boy
ReplyDeleteThe main character in my book is Catherine.We are alike because neither of us liked to be forced into doing stuff we don't want to do.We are also alike because we both like to be free without worries or cares.One difference we have is that Catherine has many chores around her manor, I guess.
ReplyDeleteFrom the book Crispin I find many differences between that character and I. A differnce between me and Crispin is that he was like a peasant and I'm not. A similarity is that when John Aycliffe tried to kill Crispin, but Crispin ran away I would do the same and run away in one of those accasion.
ReplyDeleteI am not like crispin beacause i actully have a family and he doesnt.But one similarite is that my cousin recently passed away.Even tho its his mom n its my cousin they both passed away right.
ReplyDeletei am kind of like crispin becouse my life is also kind of hard wiyh all that mony strugle that we have and we also barrly evar have enough food for the day but me compard to crispin i think i have it why more easer than crispin but you never know thigs might chang in the world and in the story of crispin
ReplyDeletecrispin and i are similar in some ways but different in others.one way we are aike is that he doesnt have many friends also he doesnt hang around many people an niether do i.we are different in that he is foced to do hard work and he isnt free like me.
ReplyDelete:)
Some of the similarities Crispin and I share are that we both look for a good long and exciting adventure. The differences we share is that we both lived in a different time and place. One more thing is that he cannot read or write and I can.
ReplyDeletei can relate to catherine in some ways but not very many. i can relate to her because shes a little devious, and so am i. but i cant relate to her because she is always stuck in the house, unless she sneeks out.
ReplyDeleteI am not very much like Catherine. We are both girls but that is the only thing we pretty much have in common. If i were Catherine i would just have put a restraining order on the guys who like her instead of trying to avoid them.
ReplyDeleteI am not like Crispin but if i was determined a wolfs head than i would do the same thing he did.Because i would not want to be killed.
ReplyDeleteI am diffrent from crispin because he lives in a time when most people had to work non stop for there masters. We are similar because we are both around the same age. Even though I am still considered a kid and he is not.
ReplyDeleteI think I am similar to crispin in a lot of different ways. I am similar to crispin because we are both brave. We are both brave because we both do things that we know will get us in dangerouse situations.
ReplyDeleteThe main character of the book i'm reading is crispin.I think we are aike in someways because he seems like a shy person that doesnt talk a lot and i'm like that.
ReplyDeleteCrispin and i have some similarities as well as differences.Our lives are not easy.My life is certainly not as bad as Crispin but its not easy.We are also similar because i get accused of things i don't do just like him.We are different because my life is pretty simple and his is not.
ReplyDeleteim not like crispin at all because i have my mom and my family does have enough food for all of us.he is also alot braver than i am so thats another thing we dont have in comen
ReplyDeletei think the same way of crispin because we are brave. and it is sad for him because his mother died.
ReplyDeleteone thing that me and crispen have in commen is that we are both 13. i have both my parents and he does not
ReplyDeleteto a certian extent i think that i am like crispin.were both 13 .what we don't have in common is that i'm not being acussed of stealing money.we also live in different time periods.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that there are any similarities between me and Cripin. But one that I can think of is that we are both very curious people. A difference is that he was a peasant and I am not. But I'm not rich either so that's another similarity.
ReplyDeleteSome things that we have in common is that we are ready to take risks at anytime.We share similiar thoughts all though mine are not as imaginative as his.One diffrence though is that my life is not as hard as his.
ReplyDeleteno i am not like him because he takes risks
ReplyDeleteI am nothing like crispin because he has no family he can trust. he only trusts the pope and noone else.crispin gets called a wolfs head but i only get teased.crispin needs to get out of the state but i do not. that is why i am nothing like crispin.
ReplyDeleteI am not like Crispin.Crispin has a very hard and risky life.A similarity is that we both lost a parent.Crispin is a very brave boy.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think the guy cripin and I have in common is. We get the blame for alot of stuff we didn't do. And we both like to make it right what ever we get blamed for.
ReplyDeleteI think that I'm kind of like Crispin.We both have problems in our families.We both believe in god.He also doesn' to get in trouble and neither do I. These are things Crispin and I have in common.
ReplyDeletewe are kinda alike because we get blamed for things we don't do.Also because we both are not rich. this how we are alike.
ReplyDeletei am not like the charcter crispin. yes i grew up in a bad times but i still had my family around me. unlike crispin his parents past away so he didnt get to know much bout them, i stil have both of my parents , and i know alot about them
ReplyDeleteme and crispin are a like because we both had people die in are family and we are differet because he lived a along time ago but also we are differet because he is a boy and im agirl also becuase his life is hard and mine is easy that is how we are the same and how we are different
ReplyDeleteMe and crispin are both alike because sometimes we have problems with our families and we like to get things right after we get it wrong.
ReplyDeleteMe and crispin are kinda alike cause we get blamed for things that we don't do.this is how me and crispin are alikevand have crispin.
ReplyDeleteMe and crispin aren't nothing alike because he has risky life and hardly has any clothes.but I'm happy that I have a wonderful life and also I feel sad fir crispin because he doesn't have a happy life like I do.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Crispin and I are very alike. Except maybe for the fact that he runs away from his issues and isn't really the type to confront and deal with them even though there probably would be no issue fixing his problems. I'm kinda like that because sometimes I think if I try to fix something I'll just make matters worse. But our lives are very different because he was really poor and has been lied to about who his father was.
ReplyDeletecrispin and I are alike because he has goten blamed for stuff he has not done and still has to face the consecuenses for it.although somtimes I am totaly difrent because i do somthing to fix my problems and they got solved.
ReplyDeleteI am simaler to cathrin but not completly the same. just like her i have many chores but my parents are definately not as strict. also i am a boy. i am not forced to mary aneyone especially because i am only thirteen. i am glad that we do not have that much in common because then my life would be a whole lot worse.
ReplyDeleteI am like the boook because i get blammed for things i did not do.Also im like him because i have to do chores.We also do not have to get married at age 13.
ReplyDeleteMe and crispin are both alike because sometimes we have problems with our families and we like to get things right after we get it wrong.
ReplyDelete
