Blog #2 Due: Monday 2/6/12

Remember to post your book's title, author, and page #.

Choose two to three characters from your book and very briefly tell us who they are.

Then tell us what actors/actresses you would want to play the parts of the characters in your book if it were to be turned into a movie (you must choose famous people to play the roles).  Include an explanation of why you choose each actor/actress.



If your book has already been turned into a movie please choose new actors/actresses to play the roles of your characters. ex. If you are reading Twilight do not tell me Taylor Lautner should play Jacob.

The book i am reading is My Sister Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Im currenlty on page 180. The two characters i have choosed are Kate and Anna there both sister. Anna is not sick, but she might has well be.. by age 13 she has gone countless surgeries, tranfusions, and shots so that her older sister kate, can somehow fight of the leukemia that has been with her since childhood. They found out that kate was a preimplantation genetic dignois, Anna was told that she was a perfect bone marrow match for kate. But Anna is making a very hard decision that might risk her life her sister and her family, youre gonna have to read the book to find out what it is. I think that the best actress that would play kate is dakota fanning because she has a great personality and she would be great to do that role. The best actor for Anna would possibly be demi lovata random? but i think that she would play this role very nicely just because of what shes been through.

@ lmartinez5,
That sounds so sad.):

lmartinez5 said...

jfox5, yes it is a very sad book.. but if you think this is sad .. go watch the movie you would be in tears:(

right now i am reading witch & wizard by james patterson. i am on page ten and it is a very very good book. if i were to make a movie about this book i would have james patterson as the main charater. then i would use jessica alba as the mother. and then i would use huge jackson as the dad. and that is who i would use if i would make a movie.

Three characters in my book are Tom, who is a little boy in New York and he is picked to come aboard the Monitor, Dora who is Tom's sister and she is always sick, and Mr. Quin who is a copper head who tries to get Tom to talk about the Monitor.

I love that movie. But it was really sad.

ahowell5 said...

jdennis5
What type of genere is that book? Would that be fantasy?

I just finished reading A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer and two main characters from my book would be Dave Pelzer, a ten year old boy who is a victim of child abuse by his mother, Catherine Pelzer. For the abusive mother, I would choose Katherine Heigl because her eyes remind me of the kind of eyes I picture when I read the book, because they are black, beady eyes. For Dave Pelzer, I would choose Freddie Highmore because he looks like the kind of kid who’s very innocent, but can stir up trouble. For instance, in the book, Dave starved for several days, so he had to steal food from school. Therefore, he’s troublesome, but looks very innocent!

amanibusan6 said...

Lmartinez5:
That book sounds sad! Does it get confusing with all the sicknesses at times?

amanibusan6 said...

Drumore2:
It must be a really interesting book if you’re only on page 10! Usually the books that I read only start to get interesting at the climax!

jdewitt6 said...

I'm currently reading Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson, I'm about one fourth of the way done! Two characters that stand out to me in my book are Mattie and her mother. Mattie is a young girl who lives in a large city in the late 1700's. Her mother is single and is raising Mattie with the help of a woman and her grand father. They own a coffee shop, but it is going downhill because an epidemic is spreading quickly through their large city. If my book turned into a movie, I would play Mattie, duh and my mother would play her mother. Because I'm Mattie's age, and just like her... My mother and I disagree a lot. This book is very good so far, read it:)

jdewitt6 said...

lmartinez5 ; That book is also a movie, it is SO sad ):

jdewitt6 said...

amanibusan6, that sounds like a great book!

Alibi Junior High By Greg Logsted, Pg: 15, The main character is Cody Saron and his father is a CIA agent and bad people are after him. So his father sends him to live with his aunt jenny. His aunt jenny knows all about why his father sent him there. For Cody I would choose Daryl Sabara because he was in the spy kids movies and he did a very good job. For Andy the ex special ops I would choose Tom Cruise he is a very good actor. For aunt Jenny i would choose Anne hathaway because she can play the role of being sweet and innocent.

Jdale2 said...

I am currently reading "A boy no More". This is written by Harry Mazer. I am page 68. One of this main characters are Adam I want Robert Patterson to play him because he will be able to play the serios role of Adam. For Bea wjo is Adams little sister I want Alexys Sanchez her because the sister is only six years old and she is cute and young enough to play the role.

anichols2 said...

The book that I am currently reading is The Help by Kathryn Sockett. I am on page 29. The 3 actresses that I choose are Mae Mobley, Miss Leefolt, and Aibileen. The person I would choose to play Mae is Mia Talerico. She is a cute little baby who could play as Mae. The person that I would choose to play as Aibileen is Queen Latifah. The person I would choose to play as Miss Leefolt is Michelle Pfeiffer from hairspray. All of these actresses have the same personality to play in these roles.

tgarrison2 said...

lmartinez5,
My sister keeper is a great book and I loved the movie.

Jdale2 said...

tgarrison2,
Great actors for your story

tgarrison2 said...

drumore2,
That sounds like a great movie I would definitely atch it.

awilson2 said...

I am currently reading "A Boy No More". The author is Harry Mazer, and I am on page 53. Adam and Bea are the two main characters. Adam is a young boy, 14 years old, who's father was killed on the Arizona, he tries to capture the events that happened on Pearl Harbor. Bea is a little girl, 6 years old, she is the sister of Adam. She wants to help Adam and is scared the whole time. An actor for Adam would be "Cameron Boyce". An actress for Bea would be "Alexys Sanchez".

Aubrey that book is so weird from the parts that i read.

awilson2 said...

@lmartinez5-I love the book and movie, its so touching! :)

awilson2 said...

@ tgarrison2- I love books that have to deal with agents and bad people are after the main character. :)

anichols2 said...

drumore2,
What are the characheters names in the book?

anichols2 said...

amanibusan6,
Is this a good book? I have never heard of it until now!

lmartinez5 said...

awilson2, why would the characters play that actress?

AStephens5 said...

The book I am currently reading is Blonde Ambition.I am on page 210. The two characters I am choosing is Anna and Cammie.Anna is a down to earth girl who works as an intern for the show,Hermosa Beach.Anna works for Cammie's dad and Cammie isn't too thrilled about that. Cammie is a rich girl who takes advantage of life and everything that comes with it.She is snobby,rude,and only thinks about her self.She spends most of her days partying and shopping.While Anna,works and balances school with it. The best actress I would choose for Cammie is Miley Cyrus.I would choose her because she does a great job adjusting to her "part" and has the "bad-girl" image. For Anna I would choose Elle Fanning.Elle is young yet experienced and does a wonderful job at all her roles.She's emotional,sweet, and a hardworker. Plus Elle and Miley are toatlly two seperate types of people as Anna and Cammie.

ahowell5 said...

The book I am currently reading is The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. So far im on page 110. The two main characters are Julie and her dead husband Jim. For julies role I would need someone who could be kinda like a tom boy because Julie is an outdoors kind of person. I think Anne Halthoway who fit the match. Also a good person for the role of Jim would be someone very emotional but romantic like Channing Tatum.

abeatty5 said...

My book is dark life by kat falls. The main charackters are ty and gemma. I would play the role of ty in the movie. Because he is the only guy that goes to explore the bottom of the ocean alone. And trys to face the dangers of the deep. I am on page 10.

AStephens5 said...

lmartinez5:
i would totally agree with thte actresses that you chose.Good job!

AStephens5 said...

amanibusan6;
I think that you did a great job answering the question.

abeatty5 said...

imartienez5 that sounds like a good book.

abeatty5 said...

drumore2 that sounds like a good book.

kflanagan6 said...

lmartinez5
That book sounds sad, is it just like the movie?

Spena6 said...

I am reading Shanghaied by David Paul Collins and am on page 65. Jack is the main character. He ran away from home and is on a ship where he has to work from 4 am till 8 am. He is the only white male on the entire ship. Smitty is telling Jack the way of the ship and what to do. He also protects Jack as there are some guys who are out to get him. I would have Will Smith play Smitty because he would have a great accent and would be a good role for him. He would have a good attitude to play a ship mate. I would have Zac Efron play Jack because he is young enough to portray a 16 year old and he has great skills to play this person. Also he looks like him in a way. He is tall and muscular like the main character.

kflanagan6 said...

amanibusan6
I heard that book is really sad, do you think it is?

Spena6 said...

Lmartinez
I would too pick Dakota Fanning as Kate as for Demi Lavato i think she would be too old to play the younger sister. If you have seen the movie i would say the book was so much better!

Spena6 said...

JDewitt6
Jamie thats a good decision on the characters but thats not supposed to be what you pick. They have to be famous and even though you would be a great actres i dont know as far as you playing that. Plus you wouldnt like playing a role from the 1700's, they dont have good clothes.

rjacobs said...

The Pigman's Legacy
Paul Zindel
Page 163
The main characters in my book are John and Lorraine. John couldn't care less about life, while Lorraine involves him in her "supernatural" adventures. Lorraine thinks that the Colonel, an old man they found, is the reincarnation of Mr.Pignati, an old man they killed. John thinks that the Clonel is "just an old bum" and his only reason for accompanying her is to protect in fear she might get killed in her "deluted fantasies". Lorraine is incredibaly smart disbite her beliefs. I would probably choose Emily Rossum for Lorraine because in all of her movies, she was smart but couldn't keep her mouth shut. For John's character I would choose Robert Pattinson, because in every movie I've seen him in, he's got that stalker-ish protective feeling over the female protagonist

dbenjamin6 said...

The book I am reading is Copper Sun by Sharon Draper. I am currently on page 84. The two characters I pick are Amari and Afi. Amari is a fifteen year old girl who is apart of the Ziavi village. She is very enthusiastic. She has a little brother named Kwasi. Amari likes to show affection to everyone and everything.Afi is an adult who is on the ship with Amari when they get taken away. She is the mother figure of Amari. She too also shows a lot of affection.I would choose Keke Palmer to play Amari because she is a great actress and she shows so much emotion. Then I would choose Jennifer Hudson to play Afi because she is a powerful actress. I just think she is perfect for this part.

dbenjamin6 said...

lmartinez, I have never actually seen the movie but when I saw the movie trailer it was very emotional.

dbenjamin6 said...

amanibusan,it seems like everybody has read that book but me. I might read this book. It might posibly cry in this book.

pdixon6 said...

My book is Acts Of Love by Maureen Daly Im on page 147. The first person is Retta Caldwell she is the main character shes a good and caring student who helps all who are around her. Then there is Dallas Dobson he is a cowboy he doesnt say much and needs help in school hes older then most kids but that how him and Retta become friends. I think Dallas should be played by Daniel Radcliff because he fits the physical description. Retta should be played by Taylor Swift because she seems to have the same personality of Retta.

pdixon6 said...

TGarrison2
good actor choices :)

wlawrence6 said...

I am currently reading The House of The Scoirpion. I am only on page 11 but so far it is a good book. The author is Nancy Farmer. The only characters so far are a young boy named Matt and his mother, Celia. The actor i would choose is Sandra bullock. I would choose her because the mother in the story is very concerned and protective and Sandra Bullock plays a good mother in the "Blind Side". For Matt I would choose Sidney Johnston because he is in "The woman in black" and both of the characters are very curious.

pdixon6 said...

jdennis5
who are the actors

GChalmers5 said...

My book, Silent Night, was written by Stanley Weintraub. I am on page 26. It does not have two main characters. It has a multitude of troops from France, England, India, Africa, Germany and more. If I had to choose two actors to play as the troops I would choose Denzel Washington and Johnny Depp. I would choose Denzel Washington to play one of the African solders fighting in the begining of the book, and Johnny Depp as one of the British solders playing soccer near the middle of the book.

drumore2 said...

Imartinez,
i saw the movie and it was a very sad movie.

kwilliams2 said...

The title of my book is called Girls From The Hood6 and its by Ashley and JaQuavis Ameleka McCall.The Main characters are Javona, Lissete,and Armon. Javona and Lissete are best friends and they rob rich guys and at first they plan to rob Armon but Javona falls in love with Armon on the job. I would want Megan Fox to play the role of Javona, I would want Chris Tucker to play the role of Armon and Beyonce to play the role of Lissete.I choose these actors because they are very inspiring and there characters are very dynamic and i think it would be a very good movie with these actors and actresses in the movie.

kwilliams2 said...

lmartinez5
What made you want to read this book?

kwilliams2 said...

jdennis5
Why is dora always sick and what is she sick with like does she have a cold or what?

sbogue2 said...

I'm currently reading Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit and I'm on page 55. Two main characters from my book are Winnie Foster and Jesse Tuck. Winnie is a 10 year old girl who barely ever leaves home and is very close to her family. Lately, she's been wanting to get away, but she's been too scared to until the Tucks took her away in the forest. Now, she's having a great time and the Tucks are very sweet to her. Jesse Tuck is one of the 2 boys in the Tuck family raised by Angus and Mae. He's a very sweet boy who is very fun and nice to everyone around him. For Winnie Foster, i would choose a young Abagial Breslin because she seems very innocent when she acts and very good at actiong surprised in movies. For Jesse Tuck, I would choose a young Zac Efron because he is so smooth and nice to everyone he meets.

sbogue2 said...

lmartinez5, have you ever seen the movie? I heard it was a really great movie!

sbogue2 said...

jdennis5, have you read any other AVI books? I heard he was a great author!

bferguson2 said...

The book that I am currently reading is called Flipped, and it is written by Wendelin Van Draanen and I am on page 39. The book has just recently become a movie and come out on DVD in stores. Madeline Carroll plays Juli Baker in the movie and Callan McAuliffe plays Bryce Loski. Juli and Bryce are the two main characters in my book. If I were to choose two new actors to portray these characters, I would pick Dakota Fanning to play Juli. Dakota has played in some pretty great movies and I think she could do a great job at playing this part. Juli is a sweet, family loving girl who cares about the environment A LOT. For Bryce's character, I would have to choose Jake T. Austin. He has a great personality and could do a great job at playing the part of Bryce.

lmartinez5:
I can totally agree with what you have to say about what actor should play who and I think your summary was really well thought out and it was really good,.(:

ejones6 said...

the book i just got done reading is Tiger Woods the real story by steve helling.Two characters from my from my book is tiger woods who we all know is a professional golf player who's career sorta kinda went down hill.Another character is tiger woods wife ellin nordegren. After receiving roughly $100 million from ex-husband and golf icon Tiger Woods in a divorce settlement,she obviosuly left him. stacy dash & Denzel Washington.I choose stacy dash because she is a good actor an can be realy dramatic at times and she is cute like tigers wife.the reason i say denzel is because he has lots of the same charateristics as tiger woods.

cgreek5 said...

I am currently reading The Struggle For Guadalcanal by: Saul Braun. I'm on page 26. I choose Admiral Fletcher, Captain F. L. Riefkohl, and Admiral Victor A. C. Crutchley. Fletcher is important to the story because he is in charge of the U.S. fleet around Guadalcanal. Riefkohl is important to the war because he commands the cruisers Vincennes, Astoria, Quincy, and two destroyers. Victor is important to the book because he commands the cruisers Australia, Canberra, Chicago, and two destroyers. For Fletcher, I choose Ryan Reynolds because he is a good war actor. For Riefkohl I choose Mel Gibson because he has been in such a broad range of movies. For Victor I choose Will Smith because he is awesome in I Am Legend and other action movies.

cgreek5 said...

jdennis
I think your book sounds exciting.

astine2 said...

My book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling. I just finished it today. Harry Potter is a thirteen year old wizard who learns his godfather is an escaped murderer from the wizard prison Azkaban. If Daniel Radcliffe were not already playing this character, I would choose Robert Pattinson, because he is in another movie involving fiction and fantasy. He plays his role well. Draco Malfoy is another person in my book. He is a rude boy who is always looking for trouble. If i had to choose someone other than Tom Felton to play his part I would choose Jim Parsons, because he never cracks a joke, like Draco

astine2 said...

pdixon6;
the character actually looks like Daniel Radcliffe? That's kind of cool.

astine2 said...

lmartinez5;
you think demi lovato would be a good actress in this movie?

smasingil5 said...

My book is physik. The author is Angie Sage. I'm on page 122. One character is Jenna. she is a young brown haired brown eyed queen. I think the actress that would fit her would be Selena Gomez. The second character i would pick is septimus. he is a blonde headed blue eyed guy. i think the actor that would play septimus would be Austin butler.

smasingil5 said...

lmartinez5
that book IS really sad.

smasingil5 said...

jdennis5
that book sounds AMAZING

EJONES6 said...

lmartinez you did a great job.

Khaldeman2 said...

I am currently reading Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen, and I am on page 83. The two characters I have chosen are Julianna/Juli Baker, and Bryce Loski. Juli is a sweet, kind, sensitive, fun loving girl who accepts everyone for who they are. While Bryce is just like an average guy who likes sports and having fun. My book is already a very successful and good movie but if I could change the characters I would. For Juli I would choice Emma Roberts because she is a very successful actress, and she just fits that sweet, good girl image Juli has. As for Bryce I would choose Jake T. Austin because he is a very young talented actor who would play Bryce well.

Khaldeman2 said...

Pdixon6, good choice for your actors. Hope your enjoying the book.

Khaldeman2 said...

Lmartinez5, That book sounds so sad, but you did a good job on your response.

ASellers5 said...

The book I'm reading is Valley Forge by Newt Gingrich and William R Forstchen. The main character is George Washington the lead General of the American army. There is also Lieutenant Dorn a loyalist from Trenton. To play Washington I'd have Michael Douglas because he has a similar face. For Dorn I'd have Collin Firth because of his experience as A British man.

ASellers5 said...

@lmartinez5
that was a sad movie

ASellers5 said...

@drumore2
who are two characters

cgreek5 said...

drumore2,
I think that the actors you choose would be great for the job.

Slaw5 said...

The book I am reading is Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane by Suzanne Collins and I am on page 37. It is the second book in the Gregor the Overlander series. In the previous book, Gregor (main character) and his little sister Boots have fallen into the Underland through a vent in their laundry room. He saved the Underland as told in the Prophecy of Grey. Now in the second book, after underlanders kidnap his sister, he is back to save them again. I think a good actor to play him in a movie would be Joel Courtney because he kind of looks like how I pictured Gregor.

Slaw5 said...

Lmartinez5, I think she would be a good actress to play Kate too!

kluckey said...

my book is CRUEL HARVEST by Paul Reid.I am currently on page 40 and the book is horrible and i do not reccomend it. so far brannon ryan is sold into slavery and has to leave his wife. brannons wife orlaith is now alone with there son and struggles without them. i would choose will smith as brannon and viola davis as orlaith.

Slaw5 said...

Anichols2, that's funny! I can picture her as Aibileen.

kluckey said...

bfergusun2


why twice??

kluckey said...

jdennis5


sounds like a slow book.

hpeel2 said...

The book I just finished reading was Chase me catch nobody by Erik Haugaard. The characters I have chosen are Erik Haugaard and Nikolai Linde.Erik is the main character.When he goes on a field trip to Germany during Hitler's era he bravely fights the Gestapo- a secret military police to help out a Jewish girl. Nikolai accompanies Erik on the field trip.He is a communist with a passion to fight the "fascist" Nazis.

hpeel2 said...

Imaritnez5, very descriptive.

hpeel2 said...

jdewitt6, that sounds like a sad book

scottr5 said...

The book I am reading is called No way out. The author is Peggy Kern. I am finished with this book. Three main characters my book are Harold,Mr.Harris,Londell James. Harold the main character is being taking care of by his grandmother who trips and hurts her self. Now Harold has to man up and take care of his grandmother. Mr.Harris is Harold's next door neighbor. Mr.Harris is the one who helps Harold when he need food or money to take care of his grandmother. Londell is the big tike drug dealer. Londell is also the one Harold comes to for a job as a delivery boy. If I had to turn this book into a movie I would have Keenae Thompson playing as Harold.

scott5 said...

@lmartinez5 Your book sounds like a really cool book cant wait to here the ending.

scottr5 said...

@amanibusan6 a child called it is a really good book I might read it one more time.

Jfox5 said...

I am currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 200. Three main characters from my book are Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. Katniss is 16 and takes her sisters place in joining the hunger games. Peeta is the tribute of district 12 with Katniss, and he likes Katniss. Gale is Katniss's best friend, and I believe he likes Katniss too. For Peeta I would choose Alex Pettyfer, because in the book peeta is strong and is fighting for his survival in the hunger games, and since Alex is strong and has to fight for survival in "I am number four" I think he fits. For Gale I would pick Blair Redford. Gale is caring but does not follow the rules too well, just like I see Blair do when he plays in "The Lying Game". Finally, I would pick Amanda Seyfried for Katniss because I feel she would be perfect to play the role of Katniss.

ntburke5 said...

I am currently reading War Horse. By Michael Morpurgo, and I am currently on page 11. The characters are Joey/ Zoey, Albert which is the horse’s owner, and Albert’s father which is a drunkard. The horse should be played as another horse and Albert should be played by Justin beiber. Then the drunkard should be played by James Bond.

@Imartinez5 what was the charecters hard times

@amanibushan6 Why was the mother abusive

ycho6 said...

I am currently reading GREGOR THE OUTLANDER by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 24. Two characters in my book is Gregor and Boots. Gregor is eleven-year-old who has mother, and two sisters. His dad has disappeared few years ago. Since his dad was missing, Gregor had never felt happiness and his mother had to work more harder. Boots is Gregor's second little sister who is two-year-old baby. If this book turn into movie, I would play

ycho said...

Imartinez5, that sounds really sad... I want to read that book next time. I hope I don't cry.

ycho6 said...

amannibusan6, it sounds sad that Dave had an abuse by his mother.

Ezuy6 said...

The book I'm currently reading is Forever Ember by Kathleen Winsor.I'm on page 843, and I want to know how it will finish, I'm very exited! This book has alrady turned into a movie in 1947. But i it will be a new movie i would choose Michelle Trachtenberg as Amber, i think that her appearance is similar to Amber's, and she will play her role of charming,stubborn and reckless girl. And I will choose George Clooney as Bruce.( another main character)

Ezuy6 said...

lmartinez5
I like your choose!

Ezuy6 said...

amanibusan6
Sounds interesting!

Npegg2 said...

I am reading the rangers apprentice Kings of Clonmel by John Flanagan I am on page 186. Two of the main characters are Will who became Halts apprentice and became one of the greatest rangers in history. The other is Halt who trained will and is supposed to be the best ranger there is. i think will should be played by Daniel Radcliffe because he is good in fantasy type movies. Halt should be played by Jeremy Iron because he seems to fit the description of halt from the book.

Npegg2 said...

tgarrison2 those seem like good actor choices because both were good secret agents

npegg2 said...

kluckey2 the book sounds kind of boring you should probably pick a different one

dmedyk6 said...

I am currently reading The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by, Tom Angleberger. I am on page 120. One of the main characters is Dwight he is very nerdy and he is the person who carries around yoda. An actor that him would be John Heder because he is sort of nerdy and acts like Dwight. Harvey is Dwight's best friend he is also very nerdy but he doesn't believe in yoda is real. An actor to play him would be Efren Ramirez because in one movie him and John Heder were bestfriends, and he is also a little nerdy.

dmedyk6 said...

@cgreek5 Does your book contain alot of action?

dmedyk6 said...

@drumore2 I read that book in 5th grade.

mmcclendon5 said...

jdennis5. you gave a really good descirption i think your book would turn out to be a good movie.

mmcclendon5 said...

ntburke5. i agree james bond is my favorite actor,but would your movie be more of an action movie?

Awashington2 said...

I am currently reading copper sun.The author is Shannon Draper.I'm on page 126. Two characters i would pick is Amari and Besa.They live in a village and they are best friends. I would choose the Marlon wayans to play Amri because he is funny and does stupid stuff.I would choose Beyonce Knowles for Amari because she isn't scared to fight back and help her family.

tfried2 said...

The book i am reading is Tender by Valerie Hobbs. im on page 153. The two characters i chose are Liv and Gran.Liv is the main character, her mom died giving birth and when her mom died her dad left her, so she lives with her grandma, who is just called Gran. But Gran dies and she has to go to california to live with her father ( who shes never met). I would want Kristen Stewart to play Liv because Liv is alot like Joan Jett from The Runaways ( Kristen played Joan). I would want Betty White to play gran, because shes such a sweet old lady who is full of life, just like Gran.

Awashington2 said...

ntburke5
I like james bond to because of all those cool gadgets.

jdewitt6
I like that book fever i read it in 6th grade

mmcclendon5 said...

the book im reading is "a matter of trust".its illustrated by anne schraff, and i am currently on page 28 chp. 3 so i havent read that much in the book.if i had to make this book a movie i would chose vanessa and gabriella from the movie high school musical. to play the role of dorcy wills and brisana meeks. its a high school drama book dealing with boyfriends girlfriends...etc. the reason i chose vanessa and gabriella is because i feel they had experience playing the role of teenagers in high school.

SNetherland5 said...

I am reading Seer of Shadow by AVI and I am currently on page 110. The character that I would choose to play the main character Horace, would probably be Justin Bieber because they are both tall, thin boysa with light brown hair. I would pick Elle Fanning to play Elanora (the girl who died) because Elle always has a calm yet strong look on her face. Elenora is a sweet girl but has a strong personality which is why Elle would fit her perfectly. I would pick Amandla Stenberg to play the sevent, Pegg, because they are both nice and quite but have a temper occansionally.

Lmartinez5,
That movie is so sad! I bet the book is even sadder though.

Snetherland5 said...

Astephens5,
I totally agree. I would most definantly cast those characters also.

The book I'm currently reading is Warriors: Bluestar's prophecy and I'm on page 78. If I were to make this book a movie the main character would be Sarah Palin as Bluekit(There names are the prefix and tell what rank they are. Ex. If my name started with Fire and I was a warrior, this is what my name is Fireheart.) and Sarah Micchelle Geller as Snowkit because Sarah Palins childhood may fit Bluekits start. Sarah Micelle Geller acting makes her totally relate to Snowkit because Snowkit is playful.

The book I just finished was called Royal Blood by Ellen Schreiber. It was 208 pages long. One of the main characters is named Raven. She is a goth teenager that goes to Dullsville High School. I think that Kristen Stewart should play her because that is how I picture her. Another character is named Alexander. He is a vampire and lives in a spooky mansion. The actor that should play him is Alex Pettyfer. Alex is a great actor and all he needs to do for the movie is to wear a long, dark haired wig.

lmartinez5,
It sounds sad!

amanibusan6,
The title of your book reminds me of a song called "It Girl".

I am currently reading The Hunger Games but I am only on page 17 si I don't know much about it. The Last book I read was Out Of My Mind and I really injoyed this book. For charecter choices for the main charecter Melody I would choose a younger Dakota Fanning because of the way they describe her are all trats I have seen Dakota abe to play. For her best friend Rose I would choose, Madison de la Garza because she is what I picture when I think of someoneto pay that role. Other tan that to play Melodys arch enemie I would pick Samantha Hanratty.

I'm currently reading is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling and I'm on page one hundred and twenty one. Alex Pettyfer should've played Bill Weasly because of the way he is described. Bill is described as an exteremely handsome man, and in my opinion Alex fits this role perfectly. Secondly, Josh Hutcherson should've played Harry Potter because he fits the role greatly and had starred in more movies than Daniel Radcliffe when they auditioned. Josh had more experience, along with Alex.

amanibusan6, I love how you describe Katherine Hiegl by her beady eyes. Great actor preferences, too.

bbedell6 said...

anichols2, I love your choices for the actors. Have you seen the movie? Would you like it even more if these actors had been casted?

The book I finished just today was Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. The main character of this book is Katniss Everdeen and she lives in District 12. There was 13 Districts total and the Capitol but after the District's rebellion against the Capitol, District 13 was bombed to ashes. District 12 is a safe place but you can starve to death if not careful. In the first book, her sister is chosen as the tribute to the Hunger Games on the Reaping day. The Capitol forces one girl and one boy from every District to paricipate in the anual Hunger Games, where the tributes have to fight each other to the death for the entertainment for the citizens of the capitol. This shows the other Districts how powerless they are against the Capitol. So Katniss volunteer to go instead of her sister. The next character is Peeta Mellark. He is the boy tribute from District 12. Since I do not know alot of the actors/actresses names I would choose Miley Cyrus for Katniss because she has brown hair. I would like the actor who plays Draco Malfoy from the movie Harry Potter because he's the only actor I can think of who's blonde and Peeta from my book is Blonde.

tgarrison2, I wanted to read that book but it was always checked out in the library.

SJun2 said...

awilson2, I think some of the other people are reading the same book as you.

twilson2 said...

Im reading Far North, by Will Hobbs and im on around page 120. The two main characters are Raymond and Gabe. They are both pretty adventurous and will do some crazy stuff. I have no idea who i would choose though. I can not really think of anybody off the top of my head.

twilson2 said...

@tgarrison2 I could not think of any one that fits my role. I guess my book choice wasn't that great compared to something easy to pick actors/actress for. myself i could name so many actors that could play that movie.

twilson2 said...

@nichols2 I have never heard of any of those people yet you name them pretty easily it seems. I guess that is just a perk guys don't get.

scnadon6 said...

The book I am reading now is Testimony by Anita Shreve. I am on page is 45. The two characters I chose are Owen and Silas. I would pick Bruce Willis for Owen because he seems like a rugged father figure. I would pick Robert Pattinson for Silas because he seems like a person who can successfully pull off a troubled student role.

snadon6 said...

amanibusan6 is that a good book?

snadon6 said...

dmedyk6 Do you like that book?

Title: I Pledge Allegiance
Page: 122
Author: Chris Lynch
The first is Morris, who is the main character. he has three friends, Rudi, Ivan, and Beck. They had a pledge that if any of them got drafted, the others would go to Vietnam also. the other is Beck, the smartest of the four. if i had to pick actors to play their roles, i would pick Matt Damon for Morris and to play beck, i would pick Ben Afleck. They are true friends in life, so they'd play their characters well since they're friends in the story.

@drumore2
I know someone who read this book, and I saw a mini project for it. It would be confusing to suddenly know you're a wizard or a witch.

@amanibusan6
This book sounds... devastating. i understand it's the worst child abuse in California ever.

aneal2 said...

The book i am reading is Walking Naked by Alyssa Brugman. I am currently on page 85. The two main characters are Megan and Perdita I chose these girls because they both come from diffrent worlds. Megan is used to her group of friends while Perdita has never had any friends because Megan and her friends have called her weird from the beggining. The actor that would best suit megan is Raven simone because she has always had friends. The right actor for Perdita would be dakota fanning because there was a time when no one liked her. But now megan is becoming friends with Perdita.

aneal2 said...

Imartinez5: I love that movie.

aneal2 said...

jdennis5: i think that book is great

pmoreau5 said...

I'm reading The Associate, by John grisham. I am on pg 36. Kyle McAvoy is smart good looking guy with a dark secret. I think that Ashton kutcher should play him because he is also good looking and is funny. Another character is Beth, which is a woman he meets on the side of the street. And she should be played by Kim Kardashian, because she is pretty

pmoreau5 said...

lmartinez,
I saw that movie, and it was boring

pmoreau5 said...

jdennis5,
That sounds like a neat book

JHouston6 said...

I am reading Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes and I am on page 20. I would recomend this book to my brother Alex. Alex thoroughly enjoys books about American History. That is all this book is about.

lbagley 6 said...

The book i currntly read is called harry houdie. I would pick no other then harry houdie himself to play as my famous character. He is so famous that one of his robes can go for 1-3 grand. This man is a hero and mystery to our country..

lbagley6 said...

martinez5 OH wow you made a long one and you made the book sound very good.

lcbagley5 said...

jdewwit ,i think i will read it :)

ebayer6 said...

I am reading "Bystander" by James Preller. I am omn chapter 12 page 69 If I were to make a movie about it I would pick Zachary Gordon for the new kid, Eric. For David, I would pick Dave Pelzer, and not that he's an actor, or but as a kid he was beat, and Eric is like a beat up dog. Lastly, For Griffin I would pick Reed Alexander. because he pplays a bully, and Griffin is a bully later in the book.

ebayer6 said...

drumore2, I have heard about those books. if you say that they are good, I'll have to try them!
