Question Of The Month: Shipley’s Choice Elementary School

Each month, the Severna Park Voice poses a question to a local fifth-grade class. This month, students from Mrs. Emery’s class at Shipley’s Choice Elementary School answered the question:

If you could switch places with a fictional character for a day, who would it be, and why?

I don't really want to switch up with anyone, but my favorite books would be the PVZ (Plants vs. Zombies) books.
Alex W.

Mr. Underpants because he has superpowers.
Andy V.

If I could switch places with a fictional character for a day, I would choose Freddy Fazbear from “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” I chose this character because it’s an escape and survival type of book and I like that type of stuff.
Ben S.

I would be Kung Fu Panda because of how brave he is and does not give up when something bad happens. He is always working hard all the time and doesn't give up when something is more powerful than him. The theme is follow the path.
Ben W.

I would switch places with Melody Brooks from the books “Out of My Mind” and “Out of My Heart” because even though she has a disability, she is really smart and has great opportunities. So I think it would be cool to be her for a day.

Finley K.

I would be Lexi from “No Such Thing as Perfect” because she is sassy and confident. Lexi is a French bulldog who is also someone named Emma’s spirit guardian.

I could eat chocolate all day, eat from the magic garden, drink from the chocolate river, live in a giant factory and give out golden tickets.

I would say Agent Venom, he gets consumed by the symbiote Venom, but instead of becoming evil like everyone else who was consumed before him, he turns out to be good. This is why I like him. Now he is a superhero who has all the powers of the symbiote Venom.
Justin H.

If I could switch places with a fictional character for a day, I would pick Belly Conklin from “The Summer I Turned Pretty.” I would switch places with her because she does not give up and she is really strong. She also has a positive attitude about a lot of things. Lastly, I would switch places with her for a day because she is so pretty!

If I could change places with a fictional character, it would be Missy Cooper from “Young Sheldon.” I would pick Missy because she is funny and I love how she doesn’t care what others think.

Lucy K.

I would switch with Alex from the book series “The Land of Stories.” Alex is a 12-year-old girl who discovers she is a fairy when she accidentally travels to the fairytale world.
