Dear Mrs. Zrihen
The title of the book that I had just finished reading was “ The true confession of Charlotte Doyle”. The author of this astonishing book is “Avi.” The main reason I chose to read this book was first because it was a good amount of pages for a 7th grader and the second reason I picked out this book was because it was given a Newberry Honors award. The significants of the passage is how an intelligent young woman understands the true meaning of hard work, fairness, care, etc. There were 2 things that I did right before I read this book. First I read the synopsis on the back to get a thought of what the book will be about. The second thing I did before I read this book is I stared at the front cover illustration where I thought about what would probably be in this book. I also did 2 things while reading this book. One thing I did was I pictured everything that I read in my mind. The second thing I did while reading this book is I tried memorize what happened write after each and every chapter. Last, I did 2 things after reading this book. The first thing I did was I made a summary in my head about everything that I had read. The second thing I did was I went online and looked for a summary to see if I had missed anything after I read.
The genre of this book is fiction, sub-genre is realistic fiction. The characterization of Charlotte was that at first she was happy cause everyone was very nice to her but then unsatisfied with how the captain of the ship acted towards here. One motive made by Charlotte Doyle was when she climbed up the highest point of the crew ship to prove that she is worthy of working on the ship. The antagonist of this story is captain jagger that nearly killed Charlotte’s favorite member Zachariah (the chef). The protagonist is Charlotte who saved Zachariah who was almost killed. The foils were the rest of the crewmembers. This whole story took place on a ship. The time this story was 1832. The weather was nice sunny then came a treacherous hurricane. (Exposition) This book started out as intelligent young women came on a crew to her home that took for two months. (Rising action) She is getting respect for every single crewmember. Her favorite crewmember was Zachariah. But she did have problems with the captain. The captain didn’t respect her much. (Climax) Charlotte decides to be a member of the ship. She had to make the highest point of the ship then come back down to prove that she is worthy of working on the ship. She has done the job then became a crew ship member. (Falling action) A member of the ship was killed with a dirk write through his back and captain jigger blamed it on Charlotte. She was sent to the crew ship jail and then was sentenced to the courtroom in twenty-four hours. Until then she thought and thought about what could of had happened. (Resolution) At the court room charlotte somehow got captain jagger to admit that he had killed the crewmember and framed charlotte for doing it. The main problem of this book is mainly internal, character vs. character cause of when charlotte was proving captain jagger wrong. The tone of this book is that charlotte Doyle is a truthful and elegant young lady. The mood of the story is giving the reader an idea of what happens when you make and action then blame someone else for it. The main message is that a smart rich young woman learns the true meaning of very hard work on a crew ship. The moral of the story is not to take everything for granted. The point of view of the story is third person limited. The P.O.O. is cause and effect. The author’s purpose is to inform. 5 different kinds of figurative languages are bold words, italic words, topic, sub-topic, and double space.
This book was very specific and explainable. I mostly loved it because it contains so many conflicts with just one main conflict. This was probably the best book I have ever read and would recommend it to so many people.
If I were to rate this book I would rate it a 9 1/2 out of 10 because it gave me a lesson and a good understanding.
Sincerely,
Ofek Peer
