June 5, 2009 Conch Bearer Review

A. What are three things that you liked about the character in your novel? Be specific by giving examples. 1. I liked that Anand did not ask a lot from Grandfather. For example, when Nisha asked Grandfather for some fried Poories, Anand just asked for a cup of tea. This shows that he is selfless. 2. I liked it when Anand worked so hard just for his family even though he got nothing in return. For example, even though Anand’s boss was a demon, Anand put up with him just to see the smile on his mother’s face when payday arrived! 3. I also liked it when Anand told his mom that he wished there was a magic apple that can cure anything. That way his little sister could be cured. This shows he is caring.

B. What were the three most important events? 1. When Grandfather came to Anand and asked him for help to find the Silver Valley and give back the Conch. 2. When Anand met Nisha, because Nisha helps him figure out important stuff later on in the book. 3. When Anand went into the Silver Valley. This was the most important part of the story, because it was the center of the story.

C. In what ways are you different from the main character? Be specific 1. I am not a boy. 2. I can eat other things except rice and stew. 3. I was not offered a journey that contains the conch. 4. I am not 12!

D. List five things about the setting of the story. 1. Anand's home: Comfy and full of hardness, but also full of happiness. 2. The Train station: Dark, cramped, and full of disease 3. A cave in the snowy mountain: Cold, safe, dark, hidden, damp, and ugly. 4. The Ape's Cavern: Big, mysterious, smelly, and cold. 5. The Silver Valley: Big, happy, warm, sunny, and safe.

E. What do you think are three major themes (messages that the author is trying to get across) in the story? Why? 1. Do not lose faith: When Nisha couldn’t cross the river, Anand still tried to do it once more just to check. He didn’t give up hope. 2. Don’t be vain: Anand didn’t abandon his friends to enjoy is own life. For example, when he got up to the mountain and got the answer right, only he could cross but he wouldn’t leave his friends behind. 3. Believe in yourself: When things got difficult Anand didn’t quit. He tried it again or found a better solution.

F. What are three good things you could say about this book? 1. It is adventurous! 2. You can relate to the characters. 3. It’s a real page-turner!

Then Anand saves her and decides to go in first. They make it to the other side safely.

Then Surabhanu, the evil character, came and told Anand that he built a nest in Nisha’s mind so that he can control her. Surabhanu told Nisha to kill Anand, but just as she was about to do it Rajah came and saved the day. It turned out that Rajah was really Abhaydatta, and Surabhanu injured him.

Chapter 16 (Plot) It is time for Anand to answer the question! Anand doesn’t choose any of the given answers because they all need each other to be the same. This is the correct answer! He gets the question right and is allowed into the Silver Valley. However, the people in the Silver Valley cannot let Anand’s friends pass as well so Anand has to make a choice. He decides to stay with his group. This decision turned out to be another test, which he just passed!

31. Who is Your favorite Artist and Why? Also include Information about her life as a Artist.

Avril Lavigne is a young rock star that has inspired the lives of young girls. My favorite Avril Lavigne song is Runaway. The reason I like the song is because the lyrics express the true feelings of a young all American girl who sometimes feels alone in the world. The song tells the person who is listening to it that there are bad days but sure enough there are good days too. And it also tells that the person who is having a bad day is not the only one in the world. I started listening to her songs when I had a bad day because sometimes her songs would make me feel better. Avril Lavigne is a really popular singer everyone that I know Likes her songs or at least knows her face or name. I feel calm or happy when I listen to her songs.

Avril Lavigne as you can tell Avril Lavigne is a solo singer and sometimes writes her own song. Avril Lavigne mostly has her songwriter write her songs for her. Avril Lavigne first came famous when she tried out for a singing concert and won. Since she won the concert she got to sing with a former Canadian singer, Shania Twain. After she finished the concert with Shania Twain Avril Lavigne’s talents was realized by Cliff Fabri a professional manager. Avril Lavigne hit songs are Girlfriend, My Happy Ending, When You're Gone, Complicated, and Don't Tell Me.

Avril Lavigne has about 9 alums. My favorite album is When Your Gone. I just like that album because it is an example of a young girls life. I sadly don’t own any of her albums because my mother wont let me buy one ,but I would love to have one of her albums. I really love her artwork because it has lots of emotions and feeling in it.

The way I am explaining Avirl's songs sounds like you can only listen to them when your sad, but that not true. You can listen to them when you are happy too. Almost all girls like to listen Avirl's song when they are board or in the car starting to get car sickness. There is one thing bad about Avirl Lavigne's songs, you can't tell which one you like the best so from my own personal experience I would say the song Skater Boy is the most famous song that Avirl wrote in her life time.

But Even though Avirl is the Queen of Pop. She still has to have her own social life and that's when Derek comes in. Derek is the lead singer of the band named Sum 41. He and Avirl are currently married. He and Avirl are living a happy life and are looking forward to the future.
