Extra Credit Post

Even though the books you are reading took place hundreds of years ago, many of the characters have personality traits that are timeless. The world they live in is different than the world you live in, but they often act just like people today act. Choose one of the characters in your book. If that character lived today, would they have been your friend? What would you have liked or disliked about their personality?
As always, write at least three sentences!

  2. This is a very interesting question. I chose the main character Crispin. If he were still alive today , i think we WOULD be friends. The qualities he has shown are very believable & realistic. Very much like me , i think especially his curiosity is how we relate the most. His bravery & ability to be a strong person as well .

  3. I am choosing Crispin.If he would have lived today I wouldent have been his friend since he is kind of quiet and is very shy.I am not that shy and If hes quiet then I wouldent be able to talk to him without a reply or with a small reply.

  4. I chose John Aycliffe because he seems mysterious and not a very nice person. If he lived today, I probaly wouldn't be his friend because he may seem mysterious ,but he seems rude too. What I would have liked about him is when he sets his mind on something he trys his hardest and does everything he can. I thought that because when he was looking for Crispin he did everything he could. I would not have liked how he's so rude and unplesent.

  5. I think Crispin could have been my friend if he lived today. What I might have liked about his personality is that he never gives up like in the story he didn't give up on him finding a place to live for nobody to find him. Also that he tries to help Bear get out of the place the soldiers took him in because that showed that he tried to help a friend.

  7. My favorite character in crispin is crispin, because he is brave. If Crispin lived today he would be my friend because we have similar qualities. I like the fact that he is brave and a good person. I dont like that he ran away from his home.:)

  8. My favorite character in Crispin is Crispin, he is very honest and does what he is told even if he doesnt what to. If crispin lived in the world today, I'd probably be friends with him. I like the fact that he keeps his beliefs even though bear and the world around him are challenging his thoughts. I dont like how he reacts in certain situastions.

  9. If they lived here, right now, i dont think i would be Cathrines friend. Even though she has really smart ideas to get guys off her case, i dont think i would be her friend. I really would like that she is so smart & that she has great ideas.

  10. I think that he would be friend because he is honest and he is really kind, plus he follows the rules. He is honest because he tells the truth he doesn't lie and he tells anybody the truth even though he doesn't like them. I think that he is trustworthy because he keeps secrets.

  12. Well for me it would be Crispin.He is honest, and trustworthy.He would be my friend because he thinks through what he wants to say like some of the people in our age today.

  13. I am choosing crispin because he is brave, trustworthy, and a good person. i am not sure if i would be friends with him because he is always on the run but if he wasnt i guess i would be friends with crispin.

  14. I think that Crispin could have been my friend if he lived today because he is adventurous, skilled, caring, and strong. I really liked how much he cared for Bear too. He and I have the passion for adventure in common. I think he and I could talk about our adventures all day!

  15. Crispin would be my favorite character.He sets a good example by being strong,honest,trustworthy,and courageous.He would probably be a great friend.

  16. I think that if Crispin lived in this time period,he and I would be friends. I think this because eventhough he is quite and keeps to himself,he still is always brave.I also think that we would be friends because is trustworthy and that is a good thing to have in a friend.

  17. I'm choosing Bear,I think he would be my friend because he takes care of Crispin and teaches him new things.I would sometimes like his personality.I would like when he is nice and trustworthy but i would not like it when he gets mad or frustated because he gets very angry at things.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I choose Crispin,he is a very loyal. When the soldiers took Bear he told Crsispin to run away. He is loyal because when things got tough he didnt give up and he saved Bear. I would have Crispin as a friend the actions that he has to face and all the challenges may be possible in this world today.

  19. If I had to choose someone,I would choose Crispin.If Crispin were alive today,I am not sure we would be friends.We don't have much in common and we wouldnt have really any reason to be friends.You can't be friends with someone that doesnt have anything in common.It probably wouldnt work out very well.One thing I wouldnt like about Crispin is he isnt confident about himself.He doesnt like who he is and doesnt care that people pick on him.I am not sure I could be friends with someone who is like that.

  20. I believe I would be friends Catharine. Mostly because we both don't put up with other people ruling are lives and we don't like having no freedom. I don't know for sure if we would be friends but out of all the characters i think we are most likely to be.

  21. If crispin lived in this time period I think I wouldn't be his friend.I Wouldn't be his friend because I don't think we would get along.It would be very different for him because of all the technology.

  22. Crispin is the character I am choosing. If Crispin was to live today he would have been my friend. What I would have liked about Crispins personality is that he is brave. For example when Crispin had the chance to leave the town he came back to save Bear and manage to kill Aycliffe. Judging by that I think it shows bravery.

  23. To be honest since Crispin has such lack of confidence I think we would make good friends due to our such opposite pesonalities. I would dislike the amount of courage in Crispin when we would want to do anything. I would like the fact that I could depend on him though. I really saw a down to earth person when he went back to save Bear.

  24. To me i honestly think that Catherine would not be my friend. She's kind of sneaky about the way she does things. Also another reason is that she makes sure she gets what she wants, she doesn't really take no for an answer.

  25. I choose crispin the reason i choose him is because he is like a real kid. Just because he lived hundreds of years before me he is still like me in many ways. He talks like a real kid. He just was from along time ago he still has the personality of a 13 or 14 year old kid today.

  28. If Crispin would live today he would be my friend because he is very polite,respective,and most of all he is trustworthy.He would be a great guy to meet too.One thing that I would like about him would be that he is very adventurous.

  29. I am choosing Catherine from Catherine Called Birdy.I think Catherine and I would have gotten along swimmingly. She is adventurous and doesn't like to be told what to do. Much like me! I guess. Anyways I think Catherine is a good hearted, curious person & there is nothing I dislike about her!

  30. I would choose crispin since we both have the same age. I think me and crispin would be friends because we both always need help! Our personalties might not be the same but we have something alike. One thing that i would like about him is that he likes to move around than stay in one place!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think Catherine and I would be able to relate to each other in many ways because we both would not like to have someone making me listen to them or having to marry someone just because of their wealth.

  32. I would choose Crispin because were both the same age. I think me and Crispin might be friends. But not really good friends. I think that we wouldnt be that good of friends is because he makes friends right off the bat. Like how he met Bear. If i was him, i would be to scared to even look inside the church, i wouldve just kept walking.

  38. I think Crispin and I would be friends because, Crispin is confident, brave, and can be trusted. He has been through a lot and, like Bear, I would be helping him through hard situations and basically take him under my wing and do anything for him. I believe Crispin would be a great friend that I could trust.

  48. I think that if the characters of Crispin were still alive today, I think I would be friends with Crispin. We both are shy at first but when we really get to know someone that all changes. Also, we are both very curious people. It seems like we both want to know about pretty much everything.
