EXAMPLE

12/2/13

Big Nate: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?  by Lincoln Pierce Pg 1-15

” ‘ Thank you for the leftover necco wafers, Nate.’ ‘They’re banana. I don’t really like the banana ones.’ ” (pg 12).

I chose this quote because I thought it was funny that Nate gave leftover candy to his teacher instead of giving her a thank you card.  I can relate to Nate because I don’t like banana flavored candy either.  Nate also reminds me of my best friend Joe.  Nate and Joe are both kind, funny, and hate bananas.
