  I am responding to the book “The chronicles of Vladimir Tod ninth grade slays” by Heather Brewer.  I read 278 out of 278 pages.  This book is fiction. The main characters are Vladimir, Henry, Joss, Aunt Nelly, Otis, Vikas and D’ablo.  The genre of the text is fantasy because it has unrealistic or unworldly elements.  The setting is in the city of Bathory.

  The title tells me this book has some humor because the title is actually a pun.  To summarize the text I would say; a young vampire is in danger of a slayer, but what he doesn’t know is that the slayer is very close to him.  What I really want to remember is when Vladimir survived a stake to the heart because it would mean another book is coming.  The author got me interested when Vladimir found out Joss is a slayer because I thought it was someone else.  My favorite part was when Vikas gave Vladimir a nick name in Russian because it meant little devil in English. 

  The situation in the text reminds me of something that happened to me.  I lost trust in someone because they betrayed me.  The same thing happened in the text when Joss tried to kill him.  As compared to other texts, this text is similar to the evil twin because a side character is trying to kill a main character.  I am different from D’ablo because I am not evil and psychotic.

  I like this text because it’s grim and funny at the same time.  This text helped me to understand teens because the main character is a vampire.  I think the text is realistic because it reflects the behaviour of teenagers.  For example, Vladimir plays games with Henry.  I hope you enjoyed my response.

My name is Moneeb and I’m going to respond to the book “The chronicles of Vladimir Tod Eight grade bites”.   I have read the whole book, this text is non-fiction.  The main characters are Vladimir, Mr. Otis, Henry, Aunt Nelly and D’ablo.  The genre is Realistic fiction because it has fantasy elements but is realistic.  The conflict is about a teenage vampire who believes he’s being pursued by someone close to him.  The theme is about the life of a teenage vampire and his dark past.  The climax was when Vladimir was fighting D’ablo and got kicked in the ribs.  The antagonis is D’ablo because in the book he tried to kill Vladimir.

  The title told me that this is a vampire book because the name Vladimir reminds me of vampires.  What I want to remember is when Vladimir defeated D’ablo because it was epic.   The text really is about a teenage Vampire who is dealing with teen issues until he learned that he is being pursued.  The author got me interested when he wrote about Vladimir trying to save his aunt because it was very suspenseful.  The character I like the best is Vladimir because he cares a lot for people like Aunt Nelly.  My favorite part was the end because Vladimir won the battle. 

  Vladimir reminds me of myself because his hairstyle hangs down to his face.  The situation reminds me of twilight because it’s about a vampire and his lifestyle.  As compared to another text about vampires I think this one was better because It’s not about romance it’s about lifestyle.   If I could be anyone in the text I would be Vladimir because he is not only cool but he can handle bullies quite well.  I am different from D’ablo because in the book, D’ablo accused Vladimir of his father’s crimes, I’m no as cruel and inhumane as D’ablo. 

  I like this text because I t was a unique one unlike those vampire books like twilight.  The text really helped to understand teenagers because they are different than adults.  I taught the text was semi-realistic because teenage boys act this way however, it contains unrealistic elements like vampires.  My feelings about the text changed when he got captured because I started to cry.  After reading the first page I got bored and thought I would abandon the book.  I admire Vladimir because he’s pretty cool  in style and charm
