Personality is What Counts
Heta Mistry
Overview
Don't Judge a book by its cover!
- This is still a problem in our society
- The main theme of the book is to never judge a person by their appearance because they may not be who you think they are
- This theme is displayed in both my novel and also in the movie Shrek
About My Novel
- Based on modern time day and can be easily relatable
- The novel takes place in Mayan Riviera in Cancun, Mexico in the month of February
- The Protagonist is Jace Antonakos because the whole story is told from his point of view.
- The Antagonist would be Kate Townsend because she was just using him
- The supporting Characters in the novel would be Stefan, Cynthia and Connor MacPherson.
Shrek
- Many people would judge Shrek for the way he looked
- Everyone judged him just because he looked like a monster
- In the book Jace got judged by his appearance as well, there were people who thought he was gay
- Jace also thought of Connor as a tough guy just because he is a football player who actually turned out to be a very sweet friend.
- In the movie People try to stay away from Shrek
- In the book Kate tries to get closer to Jace
About the Author
- Don Calame is an author and a screenwriter
- He is the middle child, has an older brother and a younger sister
- In Beat the Band his story theme was very similar to the theme of The Space Between
- In this novel Mart, Sean, and Coop decide to start a band hoping to get a girl
- The problem was that they were horrible but getting Helen in the band would change that
- If the band hadn’t given her a chance because of the way she looked they would have never known what she is capable of
