If you were the protagonist... (Due Friday, January 20th)

The protagonist is the main character who must solve or attempt to solve the story's major conflict. If you were the protagonist in your novel, what choice would you have made?




If you were Katniss in The Hunger Games, would you have taken Prim's place?  If you were going into the arena, what would your strategy be? What skills would you be able to use?  Remember to write a well-developed paragraph with at least 5 sentences, including a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence.  


If you were Thomas in The Maze Runner, what job would you want within the Glade? Would you want to be a runner?  Why or why not?  Remember to write a well-developed paragraph with at least 5 sentences, including a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence.  


If you were Tris in Divergent, which faction would you have chosen?  Do you feel that you possess characteristics similar to Abnegation, Dauntless, Candor, Amity, or Erudite?  Why do you feel you fit best within that faction? Remember to write a well-developed paragraph with at least 5 sentences, including a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence.

  1. If i was Thomas in The Maze Runner the job i would want to have would be a runner. I would want to be a runner because it would be fun to run around a maze filled with horrible monsters. Then i would have to record everything that i did and make a big map about it,every day. That is why i would want to be a runner in the Maze Runner.

  2. If I was in Divergent, I would want to be in Dauntless. Dauntless is boss because they jump off buildings and trains. Also, they play paintball and fire guns. They also throw knives. I think Dauntless is awesome.

  3. If i was in the hunger game and i was Katniss i would change a lot of things.First off i would not rescue my sister. I would make here go up then run up and put a knife to the mayor and say i'll kill him.Then i'll live a happy life with my mom and sister. andrew myers

  4. If I was Tris I would have chosen Amity. Dauntless is to dangerous. I am not smart enough for Erudite. I am not honest enough for Candor. I am to proud for Abnegation. In short I would be Amity for lack of better options. If there was A fraction that blamed being bad at soccer for all wars, I would join that one.

  5. If I were Katness I would have taken Prim's place.
    I love her. She is family. I don't want her to die. I would ask them if I could take her place in the Hunger Game's. When I went into the arena, my weapon would be a bow and arrow. I would use my hunting skills to shoot other people. I would win the whole thing. Chandler P.

  6. Honestly in my head i wouldn't have taken Prim's place, but I would have anyways for her sake. When I got to the arena I would have done things differently, I would have made an alliance early and killed all of them in their sleep. Another thing I could do is find several hiding spots and go to a different one each time just in case the other tributes find one. I also would have tried Foxfaces' strategy at the beginning until there were about six to eight tributes left. Then of course I would use my strength with a bow to wipe out any others, and of course make an alliance with Peeta. Then we would own everyone else and go back home.

  7. If I was to be in any fraction I would chose amity (the hippies) because there was nothing bad oppressive about them and they didn't hurt any body plus they are nice tree huggers. by jack

  8. If I were in Katniss' position, I would have taken Prim's place, but I would have done things differently in the arena. I would have gotten supplies I need, then build camp, then wait for the enemy to come and attack me. I would do that until there were one or two tributes left, packed up camp, and found them. I agree that if two people could win, I would pick Peeta to win with me.

  9. If I were Katniss I think I would take the place of Prim in the Hunger Games. I would because if I lived in the world that they do and my brother was picked I would take his place without a doubt. Plus, if a twelve-year-old kid was told that he/she would be fighting to the death against more than one sixteen-year-old they would barely have a chance. They would give up their lives after twelve years and would die without living a third of their lives. Therefore, I think Katniss made the right choice and it worked out for her.

  10. If I were Katniss I would take Prim's spot in the Hunger Games. I would have gone for the bow in the beginning,but I would also get some supplies to camp with. Then I would have gone in one of those little caves that she goes in with Peeta, and then I would have just waited there and killed people if they got close. If the Gamemakers did something to get people moving I would move and then find a new spot to camp. I would also get an alliance with someone.

  11. if i was traped in the glade along with the gladers i think that i would try to be a runner i know it seems a little predictable that i want to be a runner but i think that beying anny thing else is just weird the blood house is just creepy and i think that the only job i would be interested in aside from a runner is a builder. i mean you could build wepons and try to kill the "grevers" or you could make a ladder so people could clime over the walls
