Vincenzo Ferrigno’s Reviews > I Funny TV: A Middle School Story > Status Update

Archetypes: For my story I think it is a comedy. I think it is a comedy because the main character tells jokes, and alot of funny things happen. I also think this is a comedy because on the first page of the book the main character had me laughing.

The main character is Jamie Grimm. The story is about Jamie competing on a tv show to become the funniest kid in America. It takes place New York. Jamie is invited to join the show, and is told from Jamies point of view. The book shows how Jamie uses humor to handle pressure, make friends and be funny,

Visualize: While reading I Funny TV, I could visualize Jamie telling jokes on the stage under the spotlight. I imagined the crowd laughing loudly. I imagined Jamie being nervous, but excited before going on stage. And lastly, I could imagine the funny scenes of the book.

Characterization : The main character in my books believes that since he has a disease, and is in a wheel chair, he is different from everybody. He feels this way because a bully keeps telling him he is worthless, useless, ect.
