The event of Miri going back in time is important because she meets Molly. If she did not go back in time she would not have met Molly and then she would not need to rescue anyone and then she would not have to go back again. If all that did NOT happen this would not be much of a story and in result would be boring and no one would read it and then the book would not sell and that would be bad for the author.
This book was created by Annie Barrows. This book was written in third person. I think the problem was that they would not be able to get past Horst Molly's evil cousin.
The author is not trying to make an arguement the book is simply for pleasure.
I personally do not have or know of any connections to this book.
If Molly and Miri had not convinced Sissi ,Molly's cousin, not to move the eye glass then Sissi would have moved the eye glass and then it would not be there in the future so Miri would have never seen it and so she would never have gone back and met Molly.

HEIDI By Johanna Spyri
In the book there are three main things that happen. First Heidi starts to live with Grandfather/Uncle in Dorfli. (This is were she meets Barbel, Peter, Grandmother, and Brigitta). Second she is taken away from that home and is sent to live with a family in Frankfurt. (This is were she meets Clara Sesemann, Mr. Sesemann, Miss Rottenmeier, Sebastian, Tinette, Grandmamma, and The Doctor). And third Heidi, her Grandfather, and Peter help Clara learn to walk. At the end of the book Grandfather is nolonger mean, Clara can walk, and Peter learns from his mistakes. I chose to read this book because it looked fun and interesting to read.
This book was created by Johanna Spyri. This book is writen in third person. One problem is that she is taken to a different home and so the problem is that she is home sick. In the end she gets back home.
The author isnt trying to make an argument.
I dont really have any conection to this book. Also the story isnt real so the events in this book dont make a difference in history.
This piece could have changed completly if Clara was not in a wheel chair because then she would always be able to walk an Heidi and friends would not have to teach her how.

THE CAT WHO WENT TO HEAVEN By Elizabeth Coatsworth
Significance
I chose to read this piece because it is a story about a cat. I love cats and the cat went to heaven which is a good place. The work of the man in the book is important because he painting a religious piece. He is also very poor and needs the money. It is also important because the cat was not blessed by Buddha but the artist put the cat in the painting anyway. The painting was not right so was rejected and was to be burned. The morning of the day it was to be burned the cat that was originally in the back of the line appeared right by Buddha and was welcomed with Buddhas once closed but now open arms.
Perspective
This book was written by Elizabeth Coatsworth. The book was written in third person. I happen to have a cat and because of this the story is very sad considering the cat dies. It is also happy because the cat is excepted by Buddha.
Evidence
My guess is the author is trying to show that even those who did not except ones ways the first time does not mean they shouldn't get a second chance.
Connection
My grandfather (Grandpa Moon Woo) paints and puts animals in lots of his paintings and the man in the book was painting a painting with lots of animals in it.
Supposition
This piece could have changed significantly if instead of a cat they got a dog. The story would change because there would be no problem whether or not it was on the painting because it was put on the painting anyway.

Frindle By: Andrew Clements
In the story the event of Frindle becoming a word is important because a fifth grade boy decides he wants to make a word so he convinces everyone he knows to use the word Frindle instead of using the word pen. In the story this Frindle rant goes on and on until the word actually gets put in the dictionary. I chose this piece because I thought it would be interesting to read.
The author of this story is Andrew Clements. Well the story is written in third person so a different perspective of the story would be to write in in first person.
My guess is that the author is trying to show an example of change or something new and he does this by making someone make something new. And i guess that he is just telling or writing the story to entertain people. so this story does not have an argument at all.
The event of the boy in the story having everybody call a pen a Frindle leads to all of America using the word Frindle instead of the word pen and that leads to other countries using the word Frindle and that leads to the word Frindle going into the dictionary.
I guess the whole piece would change if instead of language arts being the main teacher have it be math and then I guess the main character would make up some crazy math equation right? So if the author decided to have it that way the story would be completely different wouldn't it.

STARGIRL By: Jerry Spinelli
Significance
This book is important because it shows what someone else thinks of someone wierd. It shows what one personis doing to make the world a better place in her mind and some of it can do so but not enough people do it to be able to make much of a difference. For example she knows how good people feel when they find money on the ground so every once in a while she would drop coines on the ground for someone to find.
Perspective
The problem is that people didn't like star girl because she was different. Because this happened Leo had pushed her into being someone she was not. and thus she whent from star girl to suzan. Another angle of the story could be stargirls who doesn't seem to mind what others think of her and only does what is good for her friends family and every one else that she could help or make happy.
Evidence
The author is trying to make the point that it is good to be different. He shows us this by making stargirl who is different a very good person. She is always thinking of others. For example she sends Leo a porcupine necktie for his birthday for his collection. Stargirl represents "difference" and by making her character a good person the author is saying that being different is good.
Connection
I see myself as being more like the rest of the characters in the story. My friends and I are all "normal". We dress alike and act like everyone else.
Suppostion
If everyone in the world was "different" in the way that stargirl was different then no one would notice one person as standing out from the crowd.

The Sending of a Dragon Jane Yolen
Significance
I chose this piece because it was the sequel to the two pieces I read before. I enjoyed the first two and wanted to finish the story. This story like the others was simply for the entertainment of others.
Perspective
The author of this book was Jane Yolen. She has created many peaces of work obviously including the two previous books in the series Dragons Blood, and Hearts Blood. My bias was that because i liked the charichters i did not want them to loose so i felt good when good things happened to them, and sad when bad things happened to them.
Evidence
In this book Jakkin and Akki get lost in a winding of caves they are found by primitive cave people that comunicate the way dragons do. They meet a dragon that they name Auricle. Soon they figure out what happens to the female Dragons there and are dicusted because they are slatered then eaten in the most terrible way. they decide that they should save Aurilcle from this terrible fate and save themselves from the terrible people. Once they escaped they found Jakkins five young dragons and they are found by their old friendGolden.
Connection
This book connects only to the other books in the trilagy. This paticular book is very important because it was the end of the trilagy thus finishing the story.

Hearts Blood By Jane Yolen
Significance
This books overall purpose was to simply entertain others. This book is the sequel to a book I recently read. The reason I chose this peace was to finish the entertaining story that I had already started.
Perspective
The author of this book is Jane Yolen. the author speaks in third person like someone else was telling the story. The story was being told to the audience by Jane Yolen.
Evidence
Hearts Blood is the sequel to the book Dragons Blood. In the book a young boy named Jakkin, a new dragon master, gets tied into the politics of his world by helping a senator. What he ends up doing is pretending to be a rebel and finding his recent runaway crush. threw the book he turns from boy to man according to him but to others(his friends) he was a man all along. His whole mission comes to an end when other people from politics come and hunt them down and always at his side and trying to protect him was his loyal dragon Hearts Blood who protected him and his girlfriend to the death.
Connection
this book connects to the sequel of this book and the first book in the trilogy. This book connects to the other books because they are all the same story one after another they complete each other.
Supposition
Suppose I took dragons out of the story the whole story would change for example there would be no dragon farm dragon fights dragon eggs you would have to replace it with something like horses but then something else would change like the horse cant fly so how would the get up the very steep and slippery mountain so in the end Jakkin and his two friends would be found and get in trouble or die in the cold of dark after.
