In both of the books they talk about their parents.I think they do this because since its an autobiography it should talk about their parents.Also it talks about their parents to start off what the story is about.Finally I think it talks about their parents because they help support the story.

In the book Soul Surfer ''roots'' the mom and dad lived up North. They also both loved to surf. They went to the beach every chance they got but they did not meet until the end of the chapter and even then they were just friends. Of course though in the end they started dating and soon they got married.

In the book roots bad boy he wrote how he used to get in trouble by some of the students and by the teacher and i think he wrote in the chapter because he is telling what had happened to him back in the days and he don't want us to do like he did in school.

In the roots chapter of both "Bad Boy" and "Soul Surfer" they talk about the parents of the story. They also talk about the whole family. In these chapters neither one of them were born. By them I mean Walter Dean Myers and Bethany Hamilton. It explains how their parents met. It also explains the likes and dislikes of the parents.

In the book Bad boys in the chapter called "Roots". He talks about his family tree. especially his parents.I think he puts this in there to give some history so the book would make sense. i also think that in the middle to end of the book the information will help the reader understand better.

In the book Soul Surfer, chapter one is called "roots." The author of the book wrote about her family's history. She talked about her mom and dad living up north. She also talked about how they both loved to surf, and thats how her parents met. I think that she did this to tell the reader about her family's history, and she did this to tell the reader about how she was born.

In Bad Boy, the author starts out by giving us background information about his parents and extended family. The reason being th explain himself and prevent confusion later on in the book. Also,it explains the setting and the time period.He tells us why he doesn't live with his biological family. He also gives us information about his unofficially adopted family. To conclude, Myers' first chapter is very imformative about his heritage.

I think that they wrote these chapters because it starts out their life and when you are writing an autobiogrphy you at least have to start where your life began.For example in the book Bad Boy he talked about where he grew up and who he grew up with.He talks about how his parents met and all.

In the book Soul Surfer, the first chapter of the book is called "Roots." The author talks about how her mom and dad met. And she talked about how much they loved to surf. The dad met her at the beach after he came back from the Vietnam War. She probably wrote about her family history first so the reader can understand why her family loves to surf so much.

In the fist chapter of Soul Surfer the author talks about the family roots. I think he chose to talk about the roots so that the readers understand how everything started off in the beginning of the story. In this chapter the author talks about how Bethany’s parents met . He also tells us were her parents came from and what they liked to do and were they came from. For example Bethany parents liked to surf. The author probably wrote about how Bethany’s parents met on the beach so that the readers could understand why there family is so big on surfing.

In the book "Bad Boy", Walter Dean Meyers goes more into detail about his whole family and their situations. He talks about his uncle, father, mother, and so on. He also goes farther back in terms of his family tree. I think the author did this to show multiple things in Meyer's life. For Example, in Meyer's life, he was adopted. The author tells us about this in the first chapter. In "Soul Surfer", it's mostly about surfing.

The "roots" chapter for Soul Surfer and Bad Boy are similar in ways, but lets start with Bad Boy. In the roots chapter the author talks about how his parents met eachother and how they became family.I think the author did this because he wanted to start the story before he was born so we can catch up with what happened in the past.

In both Soul Surfer and Bad Boy, they have chapters called "Roots". I think the author wrote about this to reflect on who they are by looking at how their family was. In both books, it talks a lot about the parents' lives. It talks about what the parents liked to do and how they lived. The chapters are named "roots" because they're talking about the family of both characters.

In the two books, "Bad Boy" and "Soul Surfer", the authors each describe many things about the protagonists of the book. For one, in the chapter "Roots", Hamilton describes how the narrator's parents meet and how they both love to surf. I think she did this to explain to the reader the likes and dislikes of the parents. I also think she did this to foreshadow an event that could come up later in the book.

In the book BAD BOY it shocked me in one chapter where he kept on hiiting students & getting in trouble. I think the author wrote this in that chapter is to let kids know it's not good to be a bad boy or a bad girl. Another eason why I think he worte this in this chapter is because to give an example of what a bad boy is & I bet he's telling us not be like that which I highly respect that. Being in my opinion is a road that I Have already beeen down which isn't a good road. I say because the consequences for being a bad boy is much worse than just doing something you weren't suppose to do.

In both books there are chapters called 'roots'. The purpose of these chapters is to tell the family history. This is important because we, as the readers, will understand the customs of the family and where they came from. For example, in both books they tell about what their parents like. This is, in my opinion, important because now that we know the likes and dislikes we also know how they affected the children.

They had lots of family memebers. In bad boy walter dean myers and his family moved to harlem new yourk to settle down. In the chapter called roots you might as well said he was holding a family treee because he was naming all of the people in his family. Also, in Soul Surfer all Bethany did was talk about her mother and father meeting each other and how they came together to love one another. Even though both of the books talk about their families, one of the books which is bad boy go way farther then soul surfer goes.

In the story of Soul Surfer "Roots", one thing that I felt was important was that the parents both lived in separate places, but both had a love for the sport of surfing. So, the parents already had something in common before they even met. When Bethany was born, she was automatically destined for greatness in the sport also.

Soul Surfer and Bad Boy are different and similar in many different ways. The main differences that I have noticed are that gthey have taken place in two different time periods.

In the past few weeks we have read at least one chapter out of the two books “Bad Boy” and “Soul Surfer”. Of the two books both of the first chapters were named “Roots” and they both were very similar. Both of the chapters basically talk all about the main character’s family before they were born. Even though the chapters talk about the families they mainly talk about the fathers.

In Bad Boy the first charpter is called "roots." It talks about his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparent. Myers explains the complication that is his family tree. How his biological mother died when he was very young. Also about how his mama and dad move a few times. Walter isn't born or menchened until the end of the chapter.

in both of the books they talk about their parents.I think they do this because since its an autobiography it should talk about their parents.in bad boy myers talkes about how he was born. he also talked about how things lead up to his birth.

In the books "soul surfer " and " bad boy " both chapter start with "roots" I think they did this because it starts off talking about there family and how soul surfer there mom and dad and how they met . In the book bad boy he talks about how he was born and things Ike that . Plus it's a autobiography so they should talk about the family and there life .

In the roots of both "Bad Boy" and "Soul Surfer" it talked of their families. In the entire first chapter of "Bad Boy", it mentioned many different family members and how Walter's mother and father got him and were going to raise him in Harlem. In "Soul Surfer", it talked mainly about her parents and how they were surfers who fell in love with one another.

I choose the book "Soul Surfer" Because in that book it tells a story about a surfer. One day she goes out surfing and a shark attack happened. In that story i thought the reason why they put that in the book is to tell what happened in it. They told details like where it was and what happened, It tells how the people reacted quickly to get her out of the water and onto the land.

In the roots chapter of both “Bad Boy” and “Soul Surfer” they both talk about their parents. By their I mean Walter Dean Myers and Bethany Hamilton. In the chapter of both books neither one of the authors were born yet. The whole chapter talks about the parents met and a little bit of the whole family.
