How would the story be different if it were written from Tom’s perspective?
I think the story will be more interesting because you will know more about Tom and what happen to him and know how he feel. Also it will make the reader can have more connections with Tom because if the book is written from Tom’s perspective, the reader will not know how other people in the book feel.

Julian, unlike the other characters, does not finally learn a lesson about kindness. Why did Palacio choose not to have him change?
I think the author want to show more obviously that Julian is different to others, Jack or August. I think Palacio not choose to have him change is because Palacio maybe think the original Julian is good enough or just don’t want to let Julian change. So it could also make the reader think.

What would be lost and gained if the story had an omniscient narrator?
The gain of having a omniscient narrator is that you can know evenly about the characters emotion and it can help you to know better about the plot. The lost is there is no a specific character to write about in the book because of the omniscient narrator.
In conclusion, it have both lost and gained if the story had an omniscient narrator.

What is the main message that you take away from reading War Horse?
I think the main message of the War Horse is how Joe went to the different army and go through the war. When Joe went to another army, there will be a lot of things and emotion happen to Joe. Then, Joe will be accustomed to the environment. That will make the reader feel similar to Joe. It is also a way to attract people to read this book.

The War Horse is a very special book because its point of view is from a horse.
There are many strengths and weaknesses of having the story written from the perspective of a horse.

In The Holes, I think that in camp green lake, chance is more important than choice and I agree it. I also have some reasons that why in camp green lake chance is more important than choice. First of all, in camp green lake the envirment over there is terrible and very hard. Also you can get almost no choises to do something or have fun in the camp green lake, I think it is even awful than a jail. For example, in school, if you do something that is wrong and it was very bad. But then, the teacher give you a chance to say sory and then mabye you will be fine the chance that the teacher gives you is just like a hope that you can jump out from the chasm. But what if the teacher only give you two choises and both of them have no benifits at all to you, what should you do? This is in the school, but what if you are in camp green lake? Well, you better be lucky. So at last you will still be punished by the teacher and you mom or dad. We all know that is a not good result.
It was just as the same in the book, in the terrible camp green lake, what you need is a chance , not a choice. If you didn’t have any chance in the terrible camp green lake, then mabye you will be digging holes for the rest of your life untill you can go away from the camp green lake. Also you will be exausted every night.
(P.S. I didn’t finish reading the hole book. But I try to read it everyday, and I try my best)
