______1. The Wizard of Oz by
L Frank Baum
The Scarecrow found a tree full of
nuts and filled Dorothy's basket with them, so that she would not be hungry for
a long time. She thought this was very kind and thoughtful of the Scarecrow,
but she laughed heartily at the awkward way in which the poor creature picked
up the nuts. His padded hands were so clumsy that he dropped almost as many as
he put in the basket. But the Scarecrow did not mind how long it took him to
fill the basket, for it enabled him to keep away from the fire, as he feared a
spark might get into his straw and burn him up (49).

Ask a Ninja Presents: The Ninja Handbook by the International Order of
Ninjas
Remember, any tool that you can use
against an enemy may also be used against you. Therefore it is highly
recommended that you build a course with your clan to practice keeping your
wits about you when something is trying to set you off course. Ninjas train on
special courses that really mess with their perception of space, but that
doesn't mean you can't make your own mini gauntlet to increase your skills in
your own backyard (78).
Third person omniscient
________________3. Harry Houdini: A Photographic Story of a
Life by Vicki Cobb
Harry called their grand finale
"Metamorphosis," which means "change in appearance." Harry
would tie Theo's hands behind his back with a rope, then put him in a sack and
tie the top. The tied and bagged Theo was then placed into the trunk which was
locked and tied with ropes. A curtain was drawn so that no one could see the
trunk, although they could hear Theo banging around inside. With great drama,
Houdini told the audience, "When I clap my hands three times, behold a
miracle!" He moved behind the curtain, clapped three times, and out
stepped Theo, arms raised triumphantly" (31).
________________4. Holes by Louis Sachars
The next morning Mr. Sir marched the
boys to another section of the lake, and each boy dug his own hole, five feet
deep and five feet wide. Stanley
________________5. To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee
We lived on the main residential
street in town Atticus,
Jem and I, plus Calpurnia our cook. Jem and I found our father satisfactory: he
played with us, read to us, and treated us with courteous detachment... Our

_______________6. Siddhartha
by Herman Hesse
Siddhartha sat and watched him and
remembered how once he had considered this man his friend. He gratefully
accepted Vasudeva's invitation. When they reached the river bank, he helped him
to secure the boat. Later, when the sun was beginning to set, they sat on the
tree trunk and Siddhartha told him about his origin and his life. The story
lasted late into the night. Vasudeva listened with great attention. It was one
of Vasudeva's greatest virtues that, like few people, he knew how to listen. He
never thought to interrupt the speaker with praise nor blame, he only listened. Siddhartha felt
how wonderful it was to have such a listener who could be absorbed in another
person's life, his strife, his sorrows (104).
Third person objective
________________7. The Zombie
Survival Guide by Max Brooks
Travelling light is essential to
your journey. Before packing anything, ask yourself, "Do I really need
this?" Once you've compiled your gear, go down the list and ask that
question again. Of course, traveling light does not mean just holstering a .45,
grabbing some beef jerky and a water bottle, and heading down the road.
Equipment will be vital, more so than in any other scenario where you are holed
up in a place, a
prison, a school, your own home, where supplies are in abundance. The equipment you take with
you may be all you have (101).
________________ 8. The Magic
Finger by Roald Dahl
The farm next to ours is owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Gregg. The Greggs have two children, both of them boys. Their
names are Philip and William. Sometimes I go over to their farm to play with
them. I am a girl and I am eight years old. Philip is also eight years old.
Last week something very funny happened. I am going to tell you about it as
best as I can (1).

______________9. The Pirates! In
an Adventure with Scientist by
Gideon Defoe
The Pirate Captain cut an impressive
figure. If you were to compare him to a type of tree, and working out what sort of tree
they would be if they were trees instead of pirates was easily one of the
crew's favorite pastime, he would undoubtedly be an oak. Living at the sea
tended to leave you with ratty, matted hair, but the Pirate Captain somehow
kept his beard silky and in good condition, and though nobody knew his secret,
they all respected him for it. The Pirate Captain was secretly relieved when he
heard the song of a rowdy shanty coming through the roof of the galley (4-5).
__________________10. No Way Out by Peggy Kern
Harold Davis took a deep breath and
slowly started to peel the gauze from the wound on his grandmother's leg.
"Hold on, Grandma. I'm almost done," He said quietly. "Don't
worry, baby. It doesn't hurt too much," she replied, wincing slightly. "Just
take your time." Harold glanced up at his grandmother lying on the couch.
He could tell she was in pain from the way she gripped the cushions, but still
she managed to smile back at him (1).
__________________11. The War of
the Worlds by H.G. Wells
We crossed the road to a white house
inside a walled garden, and found some food, two loaves of bread, and uncooked steak, and half of a ham.
We also found several bottles of beer, a sack of beans, and a dozen or so cans
of soup, salmon and vegetables. We sat in the kitchen in the dark, not daring to strike a light, and ate bread and ham and drank beer
out of the same bottle. The priest wanted to keep going instead of resting and
eating. I was urging him to eat and keep up his strength when, all of a sudden,
disaster struck! (134)
