Pretend one of your characters has just arrived home after school. What television programs would he/she watch? Why do you think they would choose these programs? If you do not think they would watch T.V., what would they do instead?

The main character in the book Slam would watch Sports Center because he plays basketball and he probably wants to see whats going on with the NBA and learn more things about basketball.Or maybe he will watch a basketball game.
ReplyDeleteI think when my character came home from school he would either watch ESPN or go outside and practice basketbaall.I think he would choose this because he loves the sport of basketball.
ReplyDeleteIf Peeta was watching a TV program then he would be watching the Food Network. He likes baking so he would probably watch ace of cakes or any other show related to baking.
ReplyDeleteI think if katniss had the luxury of watching tv she would probably watch a show about surviving of of the land and using every thing to her atvantage.
ReplyDeleteMy main character Slam would come in and sit down. Then watch sports center or maybe turn to NBA game.Slam would watch this channel because he will be able to see what he needs to do to get to the NBA. Also to see what moves he could do in his school game or just to see who wins the game.
ReplyDeleteLavaughn form "Make Lemonade" would most likley not watch tv when she got home from school. She would rather focus on school homework and study for hours on end because she is very determined to go to college. She would also go to Jolly's house to babysit Jeremy and Jilly for an hour or so. Even when she got home, she would STILL work on homework or try and help out other people which makes her a very kind-hearted person.
ReplyDeleteIn my book the charachters would end up watching the following :
ReplyDeleteBobby would probably watch either the channel that has the old time movies on it or the food network.
Addie would most likely watch the News or the History channel. Maybe even game shows.
Joe would watch Style network and watch shows like Project Runway.
Skeeie would end up watching things like Grease maybe...I am not exactly sure but since the one waitress said he looks like Elvis he might be into the old type of movies from like the 60's.
So far in " The Misfits" Bobby would watch some T.V. when he gets a chance because he works at the tie store. He would watch something like Cartoon Network.. I really dont know about what the character would perfer but he might also like to watch sports with his dad.
ReplyDeleteIf my character came home from school, he would not watch TV, he would most likely go outside and play football with his friends. He would do this because in the book he talked about he would always come home and play football, and that he doesn't really watch TV that much, he would rather read or play football.
ReplyDeleteIf crash came over i think he would watch football games but especially watch the fullbacks, I say this because of the fact that he loves football. If he didnt watch tv he would probably sit down and play Madden 10.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ethan, that Katniss would probably watch shows about surviving the land, because when I read the book, that just seemed like something she would do.
ReplyDeleteEthan, you are right Katniss probably would watch a surviving show or a hunting show. She would try to learn up on new skill and tactics to use in the woods. But she probably would not be able to watch to long because her old broken t.v.
ReplyDeleteIf Ponyboy(the main character from "The Outsiders") was to come home from school he would probly go with the rest of the greasers and play football in the vacant lot or go around town and cause mischief. I think this because through out the story Ponyboy hangs with the rest of the gang and they are always causing trouble, esspecially Dally. Dally got put in jail so many times that the police officers know him personaly
ReplyDeleteJustin i agree with you because of the fact that my character would watch the sport he likes just like slam does.
ReplyDeleteMy character Jolly from Make Lemonade would probably not watch tv all that much even if she did get the opportunity because of the fact that she has TWO young kids to take care of which consumes most of her time. Watching tv is not an important need in Jollys case especially now that she has gone back to school and has homework, and applying for welfare, and on top of all that, she still has to care for her children.
ReplyDeleteMy main character would proabaly watch the new show "Jersy Shore". This is because everyone on that show is very rude and concieted just like Crash. He could probably relate to the way they get into fights and are mad about dumb things. He would proabably sit on the couch with a full pizza and watch t.v.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cameron that his character Crash would go home and watch football games. I agree with this because his crash is a football player and most people who play sports are more than likely to watch the sports center. It he watches football on tv than he can learn new moves and what plays to do in certain situations. Also, i agree with Cameron of Crash watching football on tv because if he plays football he obviously enjoys it and most likely will love watching it too.
ReplyDeleteI think my main character Slam would put on Nba tv because he would want to see what is happening in the nba and see what moves he can do. I also think he would put on other high school games to see his other competion or maybe see who the scouts are see he can scope out in the crowd to see if any are in the gym or see what college is the best to go to and who have the best team.
ReplyDeleteIn my story The Misfits I think Bobby would come home from school and watch an hour of the Food channel. Then he would call Addie so they can watch the Discover channel together. After that they would try and do a 3 way with Joe but Joe would be to busy watching the Style channel because he is gay. Then Skeeze wouldn't watch any TV because he is too busy doing his Elvis hairdo.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "Fever" when Matilda got home she wouldnwt have any time whats so ever the watch T.V. Mattie is constantly working hard for her family buisness at the coffeehouse, and when she is not working the little time that she has she is trying to get some sleep in. In the story now she definatly wouldnt have enough time for T.V. because she is on the struggle to stay alive.
ReplyDeleteMy main character in my book is Rasberry. Raspbery has an obsesion for monney because of memories of being homless and living in the streets keep her wanting more money. I think that the shows that you would interest her are deal or no deal, geopardy, and are you smarter tham a 5th grader. I feel that these shows would interst her because they involve making money.
ReplyDeleteIn my book "The Outsiders" the main characters name is Ponyboy. After school Ponyboy would probably not go home and watch tv. I think Ponyboy would go out and play football or just walk around with his friends. I think this because in the book they are always outside walking around or doing something besides sitting in thier houses. If Ponyboy had to watch tv i would say he would watch Sportscenter. He would watch this because he likes sports and Sportscenetr is all about that.
ReplyDeleteI think the first thing they would watch is MTV. Most likely nitro circus. I say that because they do crazy stunts that the greasers like to do. Brandon i agree very much with you because that is the first thing i thought of my charactors seeing is jersy shore just like you said. But i had to change because you saud it.
ReplyDeleteThe person I would like to pick would have to be Pony Boy. When he gets home and he puts on the TV he will probely put on some kind of fighting show or a bloody gory show because he gets in so many fights it's not even funny. Because he's so used to getting beat up or be the one who's beating some one up.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that my characters woukd watch t.v. i think that they would go to the store and get some cigretts and then they would go to the movies and maybe get into a fight with someone then go to the drive in movie where the socs go.
ReplyDeletein the book money hungry theere is a girl called raspberry who has a obsession with money so when she get's home from school she would watch something like wheel of foretune, or deal or no deal
ReplyDeleteMy main character,Sodapop, would propably watch the Speed channel or PimP My Ride because Sodapop is very into cars. Also he has a job in the car industry for repairing cars.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ryan that pony boy would watch those fighting shows because that would be one of his intersts. Also, I think that he would enjoy shows like wwe wrestling, RAW, and UFC. Those shows are really violent, and intesly bloody. I wouldnt recomend having children watch it, and maybe it would inspire pony boy to become a professional boxer or something of that occupation.
ReplyDeleteHey Norma, I agree with you. My main charecter would go home and watch some show on Food Network. Well, my main charecters mom would, becuase she loves cooking, making recipes, and doing preperations.
ReplyDeleteI think that johnny would watch something like dora because he is realy siad that he killed someone.Also he would wont to try to over what he did.
ReplyDeleteI think my main caracter, ponyboy wouldn't watch tv when he got home. Ibelive he would go to the vacant and play some football or go to the movies. Also he might go smoke with some friends and get into a fight with the Socs.
ReplyDeleteI think the Pony boy from the outsiders would Read gone with the wind to remember Johnny, or he would go outside and do flips with his brothers and try to work out to be strong like his brothers and people will be scared of him like dallas.
ReplyDeleteIn Slam so far if I were to choose a T.V. show or a T.V. station he would probably be watching ESPN or any type of basketball game so he can improve on his game. Also if he were to watch a regular T.V. show I could imagine him watching The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air because there is some basketball in there and Will Smith has drama with girls there and Will has experience with not really having a dad
ReplyDeleteTwo-Bit would walk inside, sit on the T.V. and repeat everything he heard on the World's Funniest Home Videos as if he were a giant parrot. He tries often to make fun of anything he finds and always tries getting his two-bits in. What better for him to watch (I suppose listen) than a show that tries captioning everything it sees as hillarious?
ReplyDeletei think raspberry in "money hungry" would watch a show on how to make qiuck easy money. because she's always trying to find new ways to make money.
ReplyDeleteI think that raspberry would watch something that has to do with money and how to earn money!! because she will do anything for a piece of money!! and i hatf shes not doing that i tink she would be out some where tring to make some money!! or stealing some!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with conner because Slam is a basketb all player and he wants to play in the N.B.A. so he would probably watch ESPN for any basketball game going on.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you PJ, he would just go play some football with his friends instead of watching T.V.
ReplyDeletei agree with JAde..cause she would be out making money if not watching t.v on money..lol
ReplyDeleteIf Bobby came home from school one day and he were to watch telivision i think he would watch something that has to do with business people and them running businesses. I think that he would waych these shows because he works at a tie store which is called Akworth and Ames and he is constantly talking about how good he is at selling products and that he would be a great business man.I think that by watching people that are doing the same thing that he wants to do it would be a great influence to him and he also has a lot of good ideas that may be benificial to him in the future.
ReplyDeleteWhat i think Raspberry would watch when she came home from school is a show involving money like having jobs of bussiness plans because she always wants money. And she need to learn a way how to get her money back from the incident with her Mom. Always i think she would watch a show about sving your money and money plans.
ReplyDeletei think slam would watch a high school game to learn and improve his basketball skills and his game.
ReplyDeletei agree with you conner because he a baketball player and does want to improve his skills
ReplyDeleteIf my charater was to watch T.V. they would most likely watch a show on how to scan people out of there money. I now that she would watch that becuase in the book she does just about anything legal to get money. I also now she would do this because she sold old chocolate that was moldly and frezzer burnt.
ReplyDeleteWhen my characters come home from school and turn on the t.v. i think these people would watch....
ReplyDeleteFirst i think Skeezie would watch the food network channel because he seems to be in love with food
Joe would probably watch the style channel because he has a really nice style and loves to dress up
Addie would probably watch a political dabate between the president or something
And Bobby would watch old time movies because he said he likes doing that.
I agree with Shayna because Raspberry is always finding a quick way to make money and she might need new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ethan about Katniss watching a survival show like Man vs. Wild. But I also think that she wouldn't watch T.V. when she was done from school because she needs to hunt with Gale to find food.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Thirk because even though i am not reading this book I have heard about it and i do think she would watch a show like that.
ReplyDeleteCONNER: I agree that someone that is in love with basketball and girls would watch ESPN and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'. Those would be relatiable shows for him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you so much Heather i think all your opinions on what they would watch are right on piont!
ReplyDeletei agree with taty because thats exactly what i would have said and thats pretty much just how they come off in the book.
ReplyDeleteif my best friend just home. He would invite me over. We would watdch tv of basketball. then we vwould go out side and play basketball. It would be close game.
ReplyDeleteslam would watch tv espen basket ball
ReplyDeleteIf my main character in "The Misfits" were to come home and watch tv, I think he would watch some classic shows and movies like The Twilight Zone or The Godfather. It actually has what he watches in the book so I was easy to figure out what kind of show he watches. I think he would choose these prgrams because he lives with his father and a mobil home, since they're poor, and they proably wouldn't have enough money to buy high quality television.
ReplyDeletefrom the characters in my book i would think the misfits would watch the news so they can win the election............
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather S. because Bobby is all into those old time shows and he is a bit tubby so the food network would be a channel he would watch.
ReplyDeleteSeth- I love the show you think that your character would watch. Nitro Circus is pretty sick.
ReplyDeleteBeth Ann would probably watch Unfabulous or maybe spongebob...I can see her watching Hanny Montanny when she is home alone too. Haha. She is such an up beat person (in a way) and i think she could relate to the characters in some of those shows.
ReplyDelete:) I agree with Jerome on his exhomeless character. but I could also see her watching Wheel of FORTUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think my charater would watch Mtv because thats what ever teenager is watching theese days.
ReplyDeleteI think the youngest charecton in my book Tommie would most likely watch spongebob because hes really young and goofy.
ReplyDeletein my book the outsiders i think they would watch mtv or americas most wanted and ufc. because they were always in fights and they might want to watch some on tv.
ReplyDeleteIf Slam was watching T.V. he would most likely watch basketball because that's what he plays. I also see him watching CSI because he lives in the hood and gets jacked up.
ReplyDeletei agree with taty because every thing was just on ponit
ReplyDeleteIn my book the outsiders i think the main character would wach MTV or Americas most wanted. Because i think he would probly like thoes kingd of shows.
ReplyDeletei agree with nick because if they played it would be a close game
ReplyDeleteI agree with Just i think Slam will go home and watch ESPN or go outside and practice for basketball because thats his favorete sport.
