Blog #7 Due: Monday 10/14/13

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.

I have not started another book since I ended I read The 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey. The book was 457 pages. There are three main characters in the book, Sam, Ben and Cassie. Cassie is a 17 year old girl who has lost most of her family. The only living member is her younger brother Sam, who was separated from her during an attack. She is determined to be reunited with him, and will do anything it takes, even if it means risking her own life. If I had to choose a movie star to “be” Cassie in a movie, it would probably be Emma Stone. She and Cassie both have similar features and they are both very sassy. Sam is Cassie’s younger brother, he has been sent to a military camp, and was being trained for the 5th wave. He was not even 6 years old, yet a gun was being shoved into his hand. All he wanted was to be back with Cassie and have everything be normal again. A movie star that could play him well would be Cameron Adams, they both have an innocent feeling about them, I don’t really know how to explain that further. Finally, there is Ben. He is Cassie’s crush, and they perfect guy. He is smart, brave kind, attractive, and very athletic. Nicholas Holt is a very good candidate for playing Ben. He is very muscular and well built. He also has the basic features, and is an amazing actor, he can play any role. The 5th Wave is actually going to become a movie, but I do not know who is going to be casted for it. I cannot wait to see it!

In my book, Sasquatch by Roland Smith, I am on page 74. First, Dylan is a 14 year old boy who is very aware of his surroundings. If an actor were to play his part, I think it would be Chase Matthews. They are both similar in age and act alike. They always want to know then something is happening and where. Second, Doug is also a 14 year old boy who is very thoughtful. Even though he is only mentioned periodically throughout the book, the reader can still determine his character traits. If an actor were to play his part, it would be Andy from Toy Story. They both are nice and have an imagination. Their actions also reflect what is best for others before themselves.

Great job on your blog! Good description and actors chosen. Keep it up.

I've started a new book called "All The Lovely Bad Ones." I am currently on page 101 out of 182 pages. The book is also by Mary Downing HaHn. There are many characters who play a great role, but only three of them play the biggest parts. Corey, Travis, and Tracey. Tracey is a sixteen year old girl who is taking the summer to work in a remoted hotel. Phoebe Tonkin would fit the part PERFECTLY. The way their personality and looks are explained seem very, very similar. They both have long, brown, curly hair, and a cocky yet awesome personality.

cnechodom, great blog, keep upp the great work!
tbolton, yours is perf. You included great detail, you answered all the questions correctly, and you know your people. Emma Stone sounds like she's the perfect fit! Hope you get the grade you deserve, 100!

I am currently reading Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson and I am on page 220. Disney World is being overtaken by people called overtakers. Disney World has people called DHI which are holographic people or your hologram. In order to become one, Disney World picks you. When you go to sleep you awake as a hologram in Disney World. Finn is chosen to save or at least try and save Disney World from the overtakers. He is picked by Wayne (a friend of Walt Disney). In order for Finn to help he has to pick a few of his friends to help save Disney World. Finn is one of the main characters in the book and helps Wayne defeat the overtakers. Wayne is one of Walt Disney’s good friends and calls Finn to help him save Disney World. Wayne knows almost everything about the park and secrets hideouts and passages that only he and Walt Disney knew about. He also helps Finn and his friends by helping them along the way to save Disney World because Wayne can’t save Disney World on his own. He helps Finn and his friends with the knowledge he has of the park. For the role of Finn I would have Bradley Steven Perry play his role. They both are mischievous but smart at they same time. It would be good for him to play Fin because they both are very similar in how they act. Richard Dryfuss would be great to play the role of Wayne because they are both old and have tons of similar qualities. Wayne and Richard both try to be funny and are very nice at the same time. They are very Knowledgeable and wise people. Richard would be great to play Wayne because of how they act they both have common trait in how they are and act. That’s why I think Bradley and Richard would be great people to act as Finn and Wayne if this became a movie.

Great job tbolton4. You clearly answered the question. Keep up the good work!

Great job cnechodom4! You answered the question right on spot. Sounds like it would be a great movie!

I am currently reading The Hunter by L.J. Smith. I am on page 38. There are seven main characters. One of them is a girl named Dee. Dee is 17 years old, reckless, and loves scary things. I would want Dee to be played by Sasha Pieterse because she plays Alison on Pretty Little Liars very well and Dee sort of reminds me of Alison. Another main character is Audrey. Audrey is also 17 years old. She can be very stuck up and snobby at times, but she is also very sophisticated. I feel like Lea Michele would portray Audrey very well because she plays Rachel on Glee. Rachel and Audrey are very different, but they do have some similar aspects of their personalities in my opinion Lea expresses those aspects very well on Glee. One of the other main characters is Summer. Summer is small, quiet, and kind. When her character was introduced, I automatically thought of Hannah Murray. She looks just like I imagine Summer would look and I feel like she shows the main elements of Summer's personality very well.
@tbolton4 Great job on your blog! It was really descriptive.
@jherrera4 Is that a good book? Also, good job on your blog!

tbolton4 said...

@tmccray4 thank you! Is that a good book?

Jlett6 said...

I’m reading “The House of Hades” By Rick Riordan. I am on page 477. The main characters are Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. If the book was made into a movie, I would have Josh Hutcherson play Percy because they’re a similar age and he is a great actor and I think he would fit the part well. For Annabeth, I would have her be played by Troian Bellisario because she is so much like Annabeth. They are both very smart and like to solve puzzles and Troian is an amazing actress.

Jlett6 said...

@JHerrera4 Nice blog! Your book sounds really interesting and I love the actors you chose.

@tmccray4 Great blog! Lots of good details.

The book I'm currently reading is called "boys are dogs" by Leslie Margolis. I'm on page 61. the two main characters in my book are Annabelle and Rachel. The character Annabelle is very outgoing and unique. A famous person who could be her in a movie is Zendaya because Zendaya to me has always been an outgoing and a unique kind of person and actress. They also have the same kind of features. The character Rachel is supper skinny, with great taste in clothes. A famous person who could be her in a movie is Bella Thorne because Bella Thorne is supper skinny, with a great taste in clothes. They also look alike in the book description, tall, with red, curly hair.

tbolton4 Great job! Your post was very detailed.

cnechodom4 Good job! Sounds like a good book. Would you recommend it?

lfindley6 said...

My book is Secrets, Lies, and Alegebra by Wendy Lichtman. Im on page 38. The main character is Tess. She is a pretty normal girl who loves math, and boys. I think Victoria Justice would be a great example to play her in a movie. Victoria is a kind loving regular girl and she is sweet and she actually enjoyed school. She reminds me of Tess a lot. Another main character from my book is Tess' mom. Her mom is very serious, focused, but doesn't talk much. Kristen Stewart would be a good person to play her in a movie because she is exactly the same.

lfindley6 said...

tbolton4 great job! Your answer was very detailed and long!

lfindley6 said...

cnechodom4 I liked your blog! It told me who the characters were very neatly and answered the blog correctly!

I am reading Blue moon by Alyson Noel. I am on page 205. Ever is the main character who finds herself faced with the choice of going back in time, or staying to try and save her immortal boyfriend; Damen. If this were to become a movie I think Robert Pattrson would be a good role for damen. And for Ever, maybe Talor Swiff??

Hlawson3 said...

lfindley6; I really like yours, great job!

I am reading Redwall by Brian Jacques and I am on page 214 out of 351. The main character goes by the name of Matthias who is a descendant to the mighty Martin the Warrior. Martin is a brave and courageous mouse who is determined to find martins lost sword while being able to defeat Cluny the Scourge and his mighty horde. As for Cluny, he is a savage and cruel rat of enormous size that thinks the entire world is his palace. He will fight until he is slain to take over the abbey. To put him in nice terms you could say he is determined to be feared or passionate about his work. Our last character is Methuselah who is a wise old mouse with more knowledge that every mouse in the abbey combined. He keeps the records and histories of the abbey in this study, kind of like a librarian. The people I imagine for the role-playing of Matthias, Cluny, and Methuselah is Andrew Garfield, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Morgan freeman.

Jherrera4 you made many great pointsin you blog, good work
tbolton sound like its going to be an interesting movie

kbailey6 said...

I am currently reading the comeback boys two minute drill by mike lupica.
i am on page 30 and so far there are only two characters that have been introduced those characters are chris and tyler. i think that the famous actor who would act in this movie as chris would be that guy from diary of a wimpy kid the movie because he is smart but horrible at sports and the actor for tyler would be like that guy from the blind side because he is good at football but cant read.

kbailey6 said...

tbolton4 great job! you were vey descriptive and you wrote over 5 sentences your book sounds interesting but i dont think i would ever read it it seems kind of girlu

kbailey6 said...

jherrera4 great job you were very descriptive.

eschrold6 said...

My two characters’ I picked from my book were Rafe the main character and Theo. Rafe would be will feral because he is funny like him and I would rather play wills parts. Theo would be Steve Jobs because he is the really smart one. The title is middle school the worst years of my life. The author is James Paterson. The page number I am on is 116.

eschrold6 said...

@tbolton4 has a great blog sounds like a cool book.

@cnechodom4 has a great blog makes me want to read it.

mwilby4 said...

I am reading Payback Time by Carl Deuker and I'm on page 43. The main character in the book is Mich. He is a school news reporter and has just been given the job of sports reporting, which he doesn't like. He is an unpopular ki that gets made fun of because he is 18, 5"10 and about 210 pounds. Another character is Horst. He is the QB and the team captain. Horst is the most popular kid in school, gets all the girls, and everyone wants to be him. Him and Mich were best friends until about age 10 when a new kid came in the neighborhood.
If this book became a movie, I think Josh Hucherson should play Horst because he seems like the popular kind of guy, and Justin Beiber should play Mich because i want to see him look like a nerd. It would be funny.

@tbolton4 Good job on your blog. Keep it up!

I was reading “I’m Not Her” by Janet Gurtler. I finished the book and should be getting a new book soon so I don’t currently have a page number. The first character in my book is Tess and Tess is very smart and considered a little nerdy. If this book were to become a movie I would choose Emma Roberts to be Tess because Emma has brown hair, she could play smart really well, and she doesn’t appear to be very athletic. The next character is Kristina and she is Tess’s sister and she is the complete opposite blonde hair and captain of the volleyball team and the most popular girl in the school. To play Kristina I would choose Hayden Panettiere because she is blonde she seems athletic and could easily be accepted in the popular group. The next character is Jeremy and Jeremy is kind and tall, funny and quiet. To play Jeremy I chose Logan Lerman because he is quiet and Jeremy is also going through tough times and so he is kind of helpless and Logan reminds me of that.

I am reading Steve Jobs thinking differently, by Patricia Lakin, I am on page 71. Steve Jobs was the CEO and founder of apple, who created cool phones and. computers. I think Jim Parsons should play the role of Steve Jobs,in another movie about him. Jim Parsons looks like him, and Steve Jobs was really smart, and Jim Parsons does a good job acting like a really smart guy on the big bang theory. Steve Wozniak was Steve Jobs best freind who owened 45 percent of Apple. Dan coffeman would be perferct to play Steve Wozniak in another Steve Jobs movie. Dan Coffeman and Steve Wozniak look alike and, people wouldthink Steve Wozniak was in the movie.

I am currently reading One For The Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. I am on page 176. The three main characters in my book are Carley,Mrs.Murphy,and Toni. Carley is a girl that got taken into foster care because her mother didn't want to take care of her anymore. She is very brave,the movie star that would play her would be Emma Stone. They both have to be brave and determined to not be scared. Another character in my book is Mrs. Murphy. She is one of those people that cares about everything that you do. A movie star that would play her would be the step mom from Cinderella. They are alike because they both have to know where and what you are doing at all times. The last main character in my book is Toni,she is Carley's best friend that helps her get through all of her troubles with her mom. She is a really good person to have as a friend. A movie star that would play her would be DJ from Full house because they both help out their friends when they need it.

The book I’m reading is “It's not like I planned it this way”, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, I’m on page 278. The three characters I chose were Alice, Sylvia, and Alice’s dad. If this book was turned in to a movie the actress would have play Alice is Emma Watson because I picture her as being a person who wants everything to be right and perfect, and that is what Alice wants for Sylvia and her dads wedding she wants everything to go as planned, and when it does not she begins to freak out, but finds a way to come down with her friends help. For Sylvia I would pick Julia Roberts because she seems like a person who can stay come in chaos. For Alice’s dad I would choose Matt Damon because he has played roles with a child who losses there mother like in We Bought a Zoo, and it seems like his priority would be to care of his children before find a new mother figure for the children, and a wife.

My book is Plunked by Mike Lubica, I am on page 71. First, josh is 13 years old and is a very good baseball player, in all of his baseball games he is very aware of his surrounding and what is going on. If an actor were to play his part, I think it would be Mike Napoli. They are both similar because they both play baseball and are always ready for whatever they do, and whatever baseball game they play. Second, James is also a 13 year old boy who is very smart and is willing to be friends with anyone who talks to him. Even though he is not mentioned much in the book the readers can still tell what type of character he his. If an actor or famous person where to play his part, it would be SpongeBob because they both have a huge imagination and are willing to do anything. Also, both James and SpongeBob are very good friends and always have their friends back no matter what happens.

cnechodom4 fantastic job on describing what your characters are like and which actor is good for he/she. Keep it up.

amartin3 said...

If I could have anyone play Percy in my book it would be Sylvester Stallone. He can turn any movie into an action packed movie and he is my favorite actor. all of his movies are great and he knows how to stay in character. Percy is a lot younger than Sylvester but if Stallone is in the movie it will make it very popular. I am reading Percy Jackson Battle of the Labyrinth, it is by Rick Riordan, and I am on page 130.

I am reading Sand Dollar Summer by Kimberly K. Jones, and I am on page 65 of 206. The main character is Lise, she is always joyful and is slowly watching her world fall apart. I would definitely pick Ariana Grande to play the role as Lise if it were a movie because Ariana is always happy when she preforms and she got very ill and was also watching her world go downhill. The next important character would have to be the mother Annalise, she is one of those people that are very brave, she got into a car accident and could possibly be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. The perfect person to play the role of her in a movie would have to be Julia Roberts because she seems like the type of person who can stay calm in chaos and and she also seems like she could play the perfect part for being brave.

czunkel3 said...

I am reading the green mile by Stephen King. I am on page 312 right now. In the move the Green mile Tom Hanks played Paul Edgecombe. I think that Tom Hanks was a good person to pick because Paul was kind of the older veteran figure on the green mile. Tom hanks made Paul look like the older more experienced person on the green mile Michel Clarke Dunkin played john Coffey In the green mile. I think that John Coffey was perfect person because he matches John Coffey almost completely. He stands at around 6 feet and 8 inches he has a low voice just like in the book and unlike most of the people on the green mile, he is always quiet he never speaks until he is spoken to, and he is always a humble person, it is like he is trying to be unseen.

tbolton4 Great job! You clearly made it obvious why you would pick those people to play the role!

I am reading, “Rip Tide”, by Kat Falls, and am on page 314. My main character Ty is pale and has a “shine” because he eats luminescent fish. My choice of actor for him would be, Slade Pearce because he is fairly pale and has blue eyes, which was stated in the prequel of this book so I am unable to cite it. Sadly it doesn’t mention his appearance in this sequel. My second main character that I would like mention to have an actor is, Gemma. She is skinny, pale and also has blue eyes, which is stated in the early book, “Dark Life”. The actress I have chosen for her is Alexis Bledel because she has blue eyes and isn’t very tan. Alexis is also a good actor at drama series, which serves to good function figuring that Gemma has a sort of scare attack when she comes in contact with the ocean. There are many other characters involved with this book, however if I do all the important characters, I might as well write an essay.

My book is Playing with the Boys by Tigelaar and I'm on page 74. Three characters in my book are Lucy, Charlie, and Ryan. Lucy is the main character of my book. she's determined to make friends and the soccer team at her new school Beachwood High school. Charlie is the star soccer player at Beachwood. She's tomboyish and very athletic. Ryan is the Quarterback for the football team as well as every girls crush. Lucy is starting to really like him. I think Mia Hamm would be a good part for Lucy since Mia Hamm is a famous soccer player and Lucy's a soccer player. Bethany Hamilton would fill Charlie's spot since Charlie is an amazing surfer and I personally think it would be cool to see Bethany play soccer. I think Channing Tatum should play the role of Ryan mainly because he can pull off any acting part plus every girl loves him like people adore Ryan.

I am reading Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. I am on page 260 out of 452 pages. My favorite characters are Wolf and Cinder. Wolf is a mysterious person who has good intentions but sometimes makes bad decisions. He is a fighter and is very shy. Wolf knows about a gang and used to be part of it. The gang he used to be part of is the gang that kidnapped Scarlet’s father and grandma. Scarlet isn’t sure if he’s lying and is still part of the gang but decides to let him help her find her grandma anyways because he is the only person who knows enough about it. My other favorite character is Cinder. She was in jail at the age 16 for killing a queen and is known as a “lunar”. Cinder is a manipulative girl who happens to be a cyborg and uses her powers to get what she wants. She does not like having to do it but she does it anyways. Cinder used her powers to brainwash a guard and she escaped the prison. If I had to choose a famous actor to play Wolf in a movie, I would choose Tom Hardy. I would choose him because the depth of character he has portrayed in the movies that he has been in compliments Wolf. He is humble but also can beat someone up. He is also very nice and smart in the movies I have seen of him. For Cinder, I would choose Saoirse Ronan. She may be young but, she is a versatile actress. Based on her acting in the movie Hanna I think that she has the skills to be able to play Cinder.

kbergman3 said...

My book was Eggs by Jerry Spinelli. I finished the book a week ago. David is the 9 year old boy who is friends with Primrose who had his mother die. The actor I would choose to play his part would probably be Micheal J. Fox during the year Back To The Future was released. He is great at playing the ignorant/ curious child and he would fit perfectly for the part. Primrose, the 13 year old girl who lives by herself and is friends with David, would be play by Jennifer Laurence. Her part in The Hunger Games shows that she can fend for herself and can take a leader position if she needs to. This is exactly what Primrose does in Eggs so Jennifer would be perfect for the part.

I am currently ready Peter Pan by J.M Barrie, and I am on page 73. The first character is Peter Pan and he is a young boy and he speaks to childhood dreams, he is sweet, kind, and he has a huge imagination. The actor that would best fit his role would be the young Cole Sprouts, one of the twins from Suite Life of Zach and Cody. Cole Sprouts would be a good actor for Peter Pan because while he was acting in Suite Life of Zach and Cody he seemed like he had a big imagination and he is sweet and kind. The next character would be Tinker Belle, she is also very sweet and kind, but she has a huge personality. The actress that would best fit her role would be Ariana Grande; she is a very unique person who has a very big personality when it comes to acting, she seems very sweet and kind, and nice.

I am reading the book “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien and I am on page 149. One character in my book is Bilbo Baggins and he is a hobbit who lives in the Shire and does not care for adventures very much. He is also obsessed with cleaning and about uninvited guests. I think another actor, Peter Jackson, should have played the part as Bilbo in the movie “The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey.” Another character, Gandalf, is wizard that accompanies Bilbo and the group on their journey. I think that Peter Jackson should have also played Gandalf since he casted for both characters but he was turned downed.

I haven't started another book yet after I read ""The fault in our stars" by John Green. Which was 313 pages. The 2 main characters were Augustus, and Hazel. A actor to play is part would probably be Nick Robinson because in the book they described him just like Nick Robinson. For Hazel I would like Mary Kate Wiles, even though she might be older she would be perfect.

I’m reading old yeller, the author is Fred Gipson and I’m on page 74. The three characters in my boy is Travis, old yeller, and papa.

The book iam reading is called "My summer in pink and green" and iam on (page 110). The two main characters in my book are Lucy and Claudia.Lucy is a young child on summer break with a lot to do over the summer. She has a grand opening for a spa her and her family are opening but mainly her. Claudia is Lucy's older sister coming home from college. She has a boyfriend that is coming that no one knows about named Bean that Lucy is not to happy with. The famous person i would like to play Lucy is Debby Ryan because they are both are people that love helping the community and never takes no for an answer but sometimes a little jeleous. The famous person i would like to play Claudia is Selena Gomez is because they both are kinda sneaky but good at it.

The I am reading is called Vietnam Book One written by Chris Lynch. I am on page 51. The first character in my book is named Morris, and a good actor to portray him would be Morgan Freeman. I say this because Morgan Freeman has a good narrative voice and Morris is the main narrator in Vietnam Book One.
Another character in my book who would be portrayed by an actor would be Ivan. Ivan's actor would be Liam Neeson, because this actor demonstrates a similar personality to Ivan in his character from Taken. Both characters are stern and violent.

I am currently reading Pretties by Scott Westfeld and I am on page 213. The main characters of my book are Tally, Shay, Zane, and David. Tally is determined, brave, and she cares a lot for her friends. I think Jennifer Lawrence would be a good actor to play Tally because I think she could portray Tally’s attitude and emotions very well, plus she has the looks to play a pretty Tally. David is simple, serious, an ugly but still good looking and he cares a lot about Tally. I think Dave Franco could be a good actor to play the part of David because although he obviously imperfect, he is still extremely attractive, and his looks would make a great portrayal of David. Shay is nice, happy, and also a fighter as an ugly. I think a good actress to play Shay would be Emma Roberts because that how I picture her to look in the book. Zane is good looking, charming, but also wishes he wasn’t pretty. I think Jake Abel would be a good actor to play Zane because in his other films such as The Host, which I absolutely love, he is a really good actor and could portray Zane’s charm and good looks.

I’m still reading the BFG by Roald Dahl, and I’m on page 110. The main character Sophie is an orphan and she was innocent when she was snatched. She has a blessed heart and wants the best for everyone. I think a good actor for her would be Chloe Moretz. I pick her because she’s very generous and kind. Chloe participates in a lot of fundraiser events. Another big character is the BFG (big friendly giant). He has a language problem; he’s Very tall, funny and old. I think the perfect actor for him would be Will Ferrell. I say that from character traits he’s tall not the youngest guy ever and for the most part hysterical. Last but not least the orphan mom Ms.Briggs she’s mean nasty and very fat. Joanna Lumley would make a perfect Ms.Briggs she’s always a bad guy or just a nasty woman and she’s big as well.

I am reading A Kiss In Time by Alex Flinn, on page 180. The main character would be, Talia. She is a princess who can never touch a spindle. If she touches a spindle she will die, and so will everyone else. There was a witch who put her on that curse when she was little. She doesn't even like being trapped in the castle all day. How is she supposed to find someone to marry if she can't go outside. She knows that only her true love kiss can break the curse, but it seems impossible to break. Jack is the type of guy who thinks his to cool. Him and his friend, Travis, are troublemakers together. Jack drinks beer, and sees the world his own way. He doesn't listen, and goes in the castle. When he goes inside, Princess Talia was there,sleeping. He kissed her, because he thought she was beautiful. He is a party guy, while the princess has been sleep for years. If I could think of one celebrity to cast Talia, it would be Elizabeth Gillies. The reason why, is because she dresses I'm black like the old times. She's bossy and sassy, and everyone listens to her. She would be a good Talia. One celebrity I would cast to play Jack, would be Avan Jogia. He would be good, because his more of a dude who doesn't really care much. He looks tough and acts tough, just like Jack. Also, in a tv show, Elizabeth and Avan, are the best couple together.

@rqualls4 I like the way you explained why you chose your celebrities.
@sknowles6 Great job on describing your character.

I am currently reading "a fault in our stars" by john green i am on page 44. If my book was turned into a movie the actress i could see playing the main character Hazel would be Kristen Stewart. Because she has the same attidude and look as hazel does. Then to play the other main character Augustes/Gus i would choose Nichouls Hoult because there both pale same hair they both just look alike and have the same deep sweet voice. So that would be the cast for "a fault in our stars."

The book I am currently reading is Alice's Adventures in Wounderland/Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, and I am on page 50 of Through the looking glass. The main character is Alice and she is a very bright and currious girl. She is also very optimistic and happy. A minor character is the Queen of Hearts, and she is a very impatiant, bossy, and evil person. The mad hatter is another character, he is weird, hyper, and mad. The actor who would play the mad hatter is Jhonny Depp because he is funny, hyper, and mad. The actress who could play Alice is Willow Shields becauseshe has blonde hair, and has the same peronality as Alice. The acrtess who I would put as the queen of hearts is Kristen Stewart because they look similar, and I think she could pull off a mean person.

Im reading Ronald Dahls book of ghost stories and im on pg.100. there are three very imporant people that are in my book Ronald,Harry,and Prince. they are imporant because they are the reason all these ghost stuff are happing. in a movie Ronald would be the most imporant person because it all stared with him on halloween night nad its near halloween now. I think that everyone should read this book because its real good and will scare you.

I really like yours TJensen6 keep trying.

I finished The Girl Who Threw Butterflies. And I would choose Bella from Twilight to play Molly because I heard that in the movie she plays baseball so I thought it was a connection. I also think that Tom Cruise should play her dad because I could see him in a movie teaching his little girl how to throw a knuckleball.

The book i finished reading was It's a Mall world after all by Janette Rallison. The four main characters in the book are Charlotte, Brianna, Bryant, and Colton. An actor that could play Colton could be someone that is nice and smart, but also mean in a good way. Colton is also very caring. Bryant is sneaky and mean. He likes to tease people, especially Charlotte. Brianna is nice, creative, fashionable, sensitive, and when she starts making something, she never gives up. Charlotte the main character is stubborn, once she makes up her mind, it's set. She's also very smart and when she gets mad, she'll do anything. So the actors that should play them should be someone that has those personalities.

rqualls4 good job on your blog. It was very descriptive and detailed.

lwithers6 good job on your blog! It was very detailed and good.

I am reading you don't know me by Davis Kress and I would choose Robert Carmon aka Rowley Jefferson the boy who plays in diary of a wimpy kid . I choose him because he has alot to offer and everybody just judge him. When really you don't know him.

mrossi4 said...

I just finished "Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen. The two main characters in the book are Roy Eberheardt, and Beatrice Leep. I think a good actor to play Roy would be Josh Hutcherson because in all the movies I've seen him in, he's always truthful, like Roy. i also think Jennifer Lawrence would be a good actress to play Beatrice because in The Hunger Games, she plays Katniss Everdeen who, in some ways, tough and looks to be fearless. Hoot has already been a movie with Logan Lerman as Roy and Brie Larson as Beatrice.

So in my book, Smells Like Pirates (the 3rd installment in one of my most favorite series’), which I completed around late afternoon on Sunday, has quite a few good characters for movie roles, and I think it would be a REALLY AWESOME MOVIE if they were all in it at once:
Zelda: a member of the secret treasure-hunting group, L.O.S.T. (Legends, Secrets, Objects, and Treasures) who is 8’ 4”, and a close friend of the main character. She usually dresses in all black, and is quite commonly in a rather somber, quiet mood. I think that she would be well portrayed by Maggie Smith (aka Professor Minerva McGonagall from the Harry Potter movies), because she can really show lots of emotion, and I think that she would play the part very well.
Lorelei: a semi-untrustworthy character, 12-year-old, pink-haired Lorelei is a rather…unstable…part of the plot and character list. She switches sides quite frequently, and she often betrays people with no regard of the consequences: so long as it works out great for her, then everything’s going just fine. However, even though a little traitorous, Lorelei can be a good friend at times. I think that a good person to play her would be Claire Engler (Violet from Disney’s Ant Farm), because she can very obviously be wild, crazy, semi-violent, and make careless decisions.
Homer Winslow Pudding: the main character, a 12-year-old with a pet basset hound, he is insane about treasure hunting and will stop at nothing to discover the famed treasure of Rumpold Smeller the pirate. I thought a good actor for Homer would be Bradley Steven Perry (Gabe from Disney’s Good Luck Charlie), because he can be very determined about things, and he always likes to find some way to get money (and treasure = money).

@ehunziker4: incredible post! You did exactly what the prompt said to do, and you did it in a creative way. Your character choices were very good, too. I see a 100!
@APerez3: great job! You had some great reasoning behind your character choices, too. I hope I get to read that book someday!

The book I’m reading is called Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede, and I am on page 50. In the book Dealing With Dragons the three characters are Cermone the princess, prince Thaliad, and the dragon Kazul. If Dealing With Dragons would be turned in to a movie I think princess Cermone would be Mia From the Princess Diaries I think she would be that because princess Cermone acts just like princess Mia running away not wanting to be part of the kingdom. I think prince Thaliad would be Zac Efron selfish and only listening to what people tells him. Kazul the dragon would be Taylor Launter only to himself selfish yet listens to what you need to say.

 The title is Alfred Kropp the seal of Solomon, the author is rick Yancey, and I am on page 237.

 Alfred Is the main character he is a bigger male who is about 16 and is extremely tall that is a descendent from a legendary knight, who was expected to be a normal kid but surprised all the people that knew about it at least. A person that that is big looks normal if you don’t count his size and family, and doesn’t mine some action either should play as Alfred Kropp because he is always playing in action movies and has the size for it.

 Then there is Kenny he is kind of mentally disabled person who likes to say Alfred’s name all the time. He doesn’t have any problems with him he just repeats the name over and over. Alfred says he doesn’t mind, Alfred said that at one time or another it actually put him to sleep. Luke Dunphy should play as Kenny.

Acash3 good job did well in the details and great job overall.
Sphillips4 great job and awesome details and lots of effort you did the best job I seen the whole time.

I am currently reading the Cinderella Cleaner series “swam fake” by Maya Gold .I am on page 75. The two main characters in my book is Diana and Amelia .Diana is very nice and helpful to others. Amelia is very persuasive. If my book would be turned into a movie, the actress that would be great for Diana is Selena Gomez. The actress that would be also great for Amelia is Ashley Tisdale. I chose actress Selena Gomez for Diana because they are just a like both have brown hair, brown eyes, and helpful. For example, in the movie Ramona and Beezus she helps her sister. I think Ashley Tisdale will be a great actress for Amelia because they are both have blonde hair, brown eyes, and is very persuasive. For example, in some movie Ashley Tisdale is persuasiving other people.

I am reading book the Troublewisters by Garth nix and Sean Williams. I am currently on page 60. The three main characters in the book right now are jack and jaid the twins and grandma x. jaid is always very curious of very curious and jack is always the safe one the one to hold jaid back, and grandma x is very mysterious she doesn’t let you find a lot of things about her. If there was an actor that could play jaid’s part I think it would be Bella thorn and for jacks part…it would be a young Rupert Grint and for grandma x it would be Jane Lynch. I picked these people because every time I read my book I can always see them playing that role.
