Blog #4 Due: Monday 9/28/15

Remember to post your book's title, author, and page #. Choose two 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 chose 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 read Suzanne Collins’ ”The Mocking Jay”, I finished it and now working on my mini book project. Two characters I chose are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mallark. Katniss Everdeen volunteered in the 94th annual Hunger Games to protect her sister Primrose Everdeen was chosen. She is a girl that fights to protect her family and her district. On the other hand Peeta Mallark was a baker’s son and he and Katniss met because she was in the rain in need of food and he gave her bread. Peeta Mallark also was chosen for the Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta had a budding romance in the games. If I had to choose someone to be Katniss it would be Olivia Holt and for Peeta Luke Benward because they both share the same qualities as Peeta and Katniss.

I am reading Infinity Rings Book One. I am on pg.20. The two characters I chose were Dak and Sera. The two people that could play this is Emily Lind, and Charlie Tahan. Mainly because the look like the characters off the book and they are children.

The book I am reading is called Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and I am on page 142. The two characters I would chose are Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood. Percy is a young demigod the son of Poseidon,he is also from New York and goes on a quest to save his mother and retrieve Zeus' master bolt. Grover a satyr whose job is took bring Percy to Camp Half-Blood safely and follow Percy on his quest. The actor I would choose to play as Grover is Chris Rock because he is a hilarious comedian and as Percy I would choose Josh Hutcherson because he fits the character description of Percy Jackson.

The book i am reading is called Hurt Go Happy and i am on page#209.The author is Ginny Robby.One character in the book is Joey who is a girl but her real name is Joanne.She is a girl who is deaf and became deaf from being hit real hard from her father.Another character is sukari the chimpanzee who is basically Joannes best friend they have been together for a while.I would choose to be Joanne because even though she is deaf and gets picked on she fights through it and doesn't let anyone stop her.Some one who i think could play this role is Ashely Teasdale because even though shes not deaf they are just alike.And to play the chimpanzee is Ed because he has actually played an chimpanzee and is used to playing the part.

kherring2 said...

ssthakor1
that book sounds really interesting i would agree chris rock is a good choice

My book is called trackers and I am on page 121 Patrick Carman. One of my characters is Finn is the main character’s best friend and gets in trouble with cops and now the main character has to help him clear his name. The second character is Emily and he is the mean bossy friend that has a low temper. Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dooley because those are the people that both played in sharkboy and lava girl. Plus it was a great movie.@mncolton2

The book now I'm reading is "warriors". The author is Erin Hunter and I'm on page 79. The two characters I choose are Firepaw and Graypaw. Firepaw was a kitty pet but decide to be a warriors and Graypaw is the one who helps firepaw alot and who really has a big dream becoming a warriors. If this book terns into a movie, actually the main characters are cats so I don't have character to choose, I will choose Bluestar who is a leader of Thunder Clan.

hkim1 said...

@mncolton2 great

@klynch4 I really love hunger games.

dtthomas1 said...

I am reading "Love Maybe", by Heather Helper, and i am on page 57.The 2 characters i choose is, Piper and and Lucy. Piper is the main character, and she is always handling her friends relationship problems, when she has her own. Lucy is Piper's best friend, Lucy is having "love" problems, she actually gets dumped 2 weeks before valentines day. If this book was a movie I'd watch it over and over.

dtthomas1 said...

@hkim1 your book sounds interesting. is it in the school library?

dtthomas1 said...

@mcolton2 oh my god,he is in trouble with the cops? tell me more !!!

mdwaters6 said...

I'm reading The Enemy the authors name is Charlie Higson and I am on page 213.The two characters I choose is Maxie and Jester. Maxie is the 2nd command of the group she took charge of the group going to the palace after Arron, the leader of the group, was killed by accident by an archer named Sophie. Jester is the guy that came from the palace looking for any survivors during the accident, he found the kids in Waitrose and told them about the palace and they decided all except one to go to the palace to start a new life. If this story was turned to a movie i would want Amanda Seyfried to play as Maxie and Morgan Freeman to play as Jester

egauthier2 said...

My book is Twilight, the author of the book is Stephenie Meyer. The page number I'm on is 110, there is 480 pages in this book. My two characters are Edward Collin ( Robert Pattinson ) and Jacob Black ( Taylor Lautner ). I think if I had to choose another actor for Edward Collins I would choose Connor Paolo. Only Because just like Edward went through a lot in his movies as in love and sacrifice and lots more. So has Connor Paolo in his shows by going through his gay showing and finding love. So I think he would be great actor for this part. I think if I had to choose another actor for Jacob Black I would choose Matt Lanter. Only because they are both pale and both really dramatic in acting scenes.

jwinfrey5 said...

The book I am currently reading is Cosmic, and I'm on page 54. The two main characters I chose were Liam and Florida. Liam is a very tall 6th grader in London that looks like he's in his late 20's, and Florida is also in the 6th grade but is a very short girl. They go on adventures in and out school and get into trouble for being kids because Liam looks older, so people expect him to act old. The actors I would chose for a movie of the book would be Brendan Routh for Liam, and Elle Fanning as Florida.

egauthier2 said...

@klynch4 I have seen the movie but have not read the book. It seems like a good book I should read it.

ergauthier2 said...

Sounds like an interesting book I will have to read this book one day. @jwinfrey5

blugenbeel6 said...

I’m reading Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson the two main characters I would pick would be David the hero and Steelheart the bad guy. The actor I would pick for David would be Michael J. Fox from the 80’s. I think that he was a good actor and he seems to fit the look and style of David. For Steelheart I would pick Sylvester Stallone. Mainly because he fits David’s description and seems like he could be a good bad guy.

blugenbeel6 said...

I started reading that then got sidetracked and had to return it.

The book I am reading is Middle School Save Rafe by James Patterson, and I am currently on page 175. The first character, Rafe, is a trouble maker and working to try to make him mom happier with him. The second character, Georgia, is Rafes younger sister who is really smart and does not get into alot of trouble. If this book were a movie, the person I would want to play Rafe would be Adam Sandler because he is the type of actor that would relate well to the character of Rafe. The actress I would want to play Georgia would be Drew Berrymore because she is likable and would compliment Adam Sandler well.

AHolich1 said...

I am reading "The Heritage of Music" by Katherine B. Shippen and Anca Seidlova,I am on page 178.If someone has to play as Ludwig Van Beethoven, it would probably be Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman looks like a young version of Beethoven when he was younger and they also played the piano for a long time. But their personality's are somewhat similar, Hugh Jackman can be serious but than funny. Beethoven on the other hand, can be serious and than has some serious anger issues.

jroach5 said...

The book I am reading is Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan. I am on page 276. Two characters I would choose is Will and Halt. Will is the Ranger's Apprentice and is around 13 years old. Halt is Will's Master because he is the ranger. The actor I would choose to play Halt is Jeremy Irons because in Eragon, Brom and Halt look alike. I would choose to have William Mosley to play as Will because in Narnia, Peter looks and acts like Will.

AHolich1 said...

@Klynch4 Congrats on finishing the book!

@JFox4 I agree with the Adam Sandler, sounds just like him due to what you have said.

Taskew1 said...

The book i am reading is unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and i am on page 20.The first character i Louie did not fit in with other kids he was a pony boy and he is working on his bullying problems that he is having in school .The second character is Pete Zamperini is or was the handsome guy and Laura wanted to be like Pete or everyone wonted to be like him he was also popular and silky smooth with girls.The Pearson i would want to play is Pete because he is popular and is a Handsome guy and is silky with the girls.I relate well to the Character Pete . The actress i would want to play is Louie Laura because she would fit in with the story well .

Taskew1 said...

DSanchez5 said...

The book i'm reading is the 39 Clues: Book 3, the author is Peter Lerangis and i'm on page 124. The 2 main characters in my book are two kids named Dan and Amy. They are kids that are forced to steal valuable things because their enemies have hostages. I would chose T-Wayne be the rap star in the movie. I chose this person because he is the first person that popped into my head.

DSanchez5 said...

Your book sounds cool to read.

DSanchez5 said...

I'm not sure if that's the third book or the second. The movie that goes with it is ok

awhitfield4 said...

I am reading Four by Veronica Roth and I am on page 236. The two characters I am going to choose are Four and Tris. Four is Ablegation born but went to dauntless and now lives there, he was an abused child who wanted to get away from home and did so he was the top initiate and now works as an initiate trainer. Tris is also Ablegation born and went to dauntless she excels in the initiation and becomes dauntless her and four falls in love. The actor I would want is play Four is Chris Pine; I choose Chris because he is a very good actor and has played in action and romance movies before. The actress I would choose to play Tris is Jennifer Lawrence; I choose Jennifer because she played in the Hunger Games and would fit in as the character Tris.

dnazariorodriguez2 said...

The title of my book is Kingdom Keepers: Disney at Dawn by Ridley Pearson and I am on page 73.Two characters of my book are Finn and Maleficent. Finn is the leader of the DHI (Disney Host Interactive). When he goes to sleep he arrives in Disney every night and meet Wayne to take down Disney Villains like Maleficent. Maleficent is evil and cruel. She want to take over Disney. I think Josh Hutcherson would play the part of Finn because the author describes Finn to look just like Josh. I think that Michelle Rodriguez should play Maleficent because she looks evil and vile when she can.

dnazariorodriguez2 said...

@klynch Hope your mini-project turns out pretty.

dnazariorodriguez2 said...

@awhitfield Enjoy your book!

ssthakor1 said...

@awhitfield4 That sounds like an amazing book I might look into it when I finish mine.

ssthakor1 said...

@dnazariorodriguez2 Those actors are good choices I chose Josh Hutcherson for my book too.

jlross1 said...

In the book Lord of the Flies, the main characters are Robert and Piggy. They are both British teenagers who got stranded on an island from a plane crash. If were to be turned into a movie, I would be Robert because he is the smart one and becomes the leader of a native tribal group on the island.

jlross1 said...

@jfox4 i might read that book.

kwebb2 said...

My book is called Lone Wolf. I finished my book. The two characters I choose are Willow and Perry. To play Willows role I would choose Desiree Ross because she is a good actor and kinda looks like how willow is described. for Perry i would choose Conner Jessup because he is also a good actor. Both actors are in the age range for the characters.

I'm on Star Wars Jedi quest: the way of the apprentice the author is Jude Watson . i'm on page 51. the main character is Anakin Skywalker. this book is amazing. the movie comes out 12/19/2015

cbruck6 said...

I am reading Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex. I am on page 119, and the author is Eoin Colfer. The Main characters are Artemis and Butler. I would pick Asa Butterfield to portray Artemis. (Artemis is a shrewd, cunning teenager) I would choose Dwayne Johnson to portray Butler. (Butler is a big, strong bodyguard)

JFox4 said...

@klynch4

I think those actors are a good choice to play those characters because they would get along well together.

mscott2 said...

I'm reading Marc Aronson's book "Witch Hunt". In the book,there are two main characters that go by the names, Abagail Williams and John Proctor. An actor and actress that I think would portray the characters the most are, Jude Law and Emma Watson. Emma Watson would play Abagail very well, because in the book Abagail's appearance is described as innocent and beautiful but on the inside, Abagail's personality was dark and vile. Also Jude Law would play John Proctor well because they both have the same personality and looks.

samscott6 said...

my book is the underdogs by mike Lupica and I'm on page 226. one of my character's are will Tyler in this book I'm reading he is exceptional in football. will Tyler's dad is another character and he's his son's football coach and his dad was also good at football at his son's age.

sscott6 said...

@mscott2 your book sounds really interesting I'd love to read it one day.

@KWEBB2 YOUR Book your currently reading "lone wolf" sounds like a really good book to read I hope I get a chance to read that story

Kingdom keepers is a series would like to read soon. Enjoy the book.

ISwarts4 said...

Right now I'm reading, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children". I'm currently on page 350 and so far I'm impressed with what Ransom Riggs has written! The two characters I like so far are Emma Bloom and Jacob Portman, because mostly I like their "peculiar powers". If this book was to be made a movie the characters in the film would have to be altered to the age of 20 or so because there aren't many teenage actors/actresses out there. But if the characters were to be adults I'd choose Shailene Woodley and Tom Cruise, This wouldn't be my first choice honestly but there aren't many actors that can fit the characters in this book. Shailene Woodley would be Emma because Shailene is one of those "Tough Girls" and Emma's similar to her. Tom Cruise would be Jacob because Tom is usually those kind of people in the movies who find out something's wrong and they have to fix it somehow, which is similar to Jacob in the story. Those would be the two closest actors I would chose.

ISwarts4 said...

DSanchez5

I like the clues books! And I approve of your actor/actresses choice(s)

ISwarts4 said...

awhitfield4

Ah, a Divergent story... Hope you like it! And I LOVE your actor/actress choice(s)

sharriett4 said...

Right now i am reading "After 2 pac " this book has not been made into a movie. But this book is told from the prespective of a girl named Dee Foster. If i had to choose an actress to play her it would be Eve Jeffers. This actress is a very mean and has an attitude just like the girl in my book. The other girl is A girl named Keeka.

very interesting characters

BLyncker5 said...

I am currently reading a book called "Maximum Ride: Max" and i'm going onto page 75. I love the series so far, even if i'm rereading some of the books. Anyways, if I was to choose two characters to be acted it would be Nudge and Max. For Nudge It would DEFINITELY be the girl who played in Annie, QuvenzhanƩ Wallis. Now with Max it would be a bit more confusing and hard but I think that Taylor Momsen(also known for playing a part in Gossip Girl) would fit the part best. In all I think they would play the parts best due to looks that relate to the described character while at the same time they seem to portray the personality of each book character.

BLyncker5 said...

@ISwarts4

Sounds like a great book and I hope I can read that at some point.

@DSanchez5

I've heard that book is good and the characters sound pretty good.

jroach5 said...

Star Wars Jedi Quest is a really good book. I hope you enjoy it!

NHerring4 said...

The book I have just finished reading is Michael Vey Prisoner of Cell 25.
Two main characters are Michel Vey and he would probably be best played by Zachery Gordan.
The second main character is Michael's girlfriend Taylor Ridley should be played by Kara Heyward. I think these two actors would best fit these characters because while your reading the book theses actors would look best like the character. This is my opinion at least. Below is a website with the most fitting characters for the whole Micheal Vey sires.

http://www.imdb.com/list/ls053454194/

@BLyncker5
The Maximum Ride manga is also really good, but so is the book from what I can tell.

NHerring4 said...

@MScott2
Sounds like a really good book.

mdinh6 said...

I am reading and have finished the Lighting Thief by Rick Riordan. The characters I’m choosing are Percy Jackson and Annabeth. They are the main characters of this book and demigods who have left their families to go to Camp Half-Blood. The actor/actress would be Josh Hutcherson and Emma Watson.

mdinh6 said...

BLyncker5 I really should start reading Maximum Ride!

mdinh6 said...

cbruck6 Artemis Fowl is really good!

GKloeppel5 said...

My book is Game Changers: Heavy Hitters by Mike Lupica and I just finished the book. Two characters are Ben and Justin, Ben is the main character in the book, he faces all problems including getting hit the first game, Justin thinking about quitting because of his parents’ divorce, and keeping his team in good spirit after tough games. Justin is one of the other main characters in the book, his parents were divorced and he was having to move away from the town he grew up in with all his childhood friends. After finding this out Justin was sad and depressed and wanted to quit the team but Ben helped Justin get back on his feet and after Ben was hit Justin could tell he was not the same batter. As Justin was watching him hit he noticed that Ben was stepping out and Justin knew that after getting hit Ben was scared of the ball and Justin found some exercises to get Ben back to hitting again. If I was an actor I would want to play the part of Ben because he is that main character and I feel that Ben would be a fun character to play.

GKloeppel5 said...

JFox4 Good choice of actor, Adam Sandler is hilarious. The book sounds good.

GKloeppel5 said...

jwinfrey5 the book sounds good and its cool that the girl's name is Florida.

ale2 said...

I am currently reading Rules by Cynthia Lord and I'm on page 105. There are two main characters in the story and they are both brother and sister and there names are David and Catherine. In the story Catherine makes rules for David. I relate to her brother because my parents are always making rules for me like I cant go out the house at out of the house at six. Because I'm always going out and hanging with friends and go out and play on the field.

msmith2 said...

I am reading Rules by Cynthia Lord and I’m on page 90. Two characters in this book are Catherine and her mom. Catherine is a young girl who is nice and really friendly but also is very helpful to others. Her mom is someone is usually stressed out but is really nice when she isn’t. If I got to pick a famous actress to play Catherine I would choose Joey King because I have seen movies on her playing a young school girl. For her mom I would choose Jennifer Aniston because she can pretty much play any character very well.

ale2 said...

@Ghloeppel5 that sounds like a good book pretty sad though I would definitely read that next.

msmith2 said...

I agree with the characters you have chosen for this book.

ale2 said...

@msmith2 I'm reading that too good connection.

msmith2 said...

@gkloeppel I agree with the characters you chose.

kWebb2 said...

Im done reading my book Lone Wolf. The two characters i would choose are Perry [the mane character] and Willow [his freind.] Two play Perry I would choose Connor Jessup. I would choose Connor because he is a good actor. To play Willow I would have Dessiree Ross play the roll because dessiree is a good actress and she kinda looks like how willow is described.

msmith2 said...

@nherring4 That seems like a good book.

srodriguez2 said...

I am reading The Vampire Stalker by Allison Van Diephen and I am on page 123. One character from my book is Amy. Amy goes to high school and is a softmore. She as a younger sister, Chrissy, that is in the 8th grade and constantly goes to parties with her bad influence of a friend, Madison. Another character from my book is Alexander Banks. Alexander is a vampire hunter from the book series, “The Otherworld” which Amy is obsessed with, and he comes to life by somehow running through a portal while he was hunting a vampire named Vigo. Vigo attacks Amy and Alexander saves her. The two become friends and Amy is trying to help Alexander figure out how he got into the real world and if he can ever go back. If an actress could play Amy, I think it should be Maia Mitchell, because I imagine Amy would look something like her. If an actor could play Alexander, I think it should be Luke Bylik because Alexander seems like he would look like Luke.

kWebb2 said...

@msmith I like the book your reading, I havent read it but it sounds cool.

The book I am currently reading is Gathering Blues by Lois Lowery and I am on page 85. The two main characters in my book are Vanessa and Kira. Kira has a leg that is twisted since she was born. Vanessa is a girl that is very mean to Kira and doesn't like her at all. I would choose Blake Lively to play Kira and Leighton Meester for Vanessa. Mainly because they have acted together before and they would be able to play the part of the current characters.

Taasved4 said...

I am reading Gathering Blue by Lois Lowery and I am on page 31. Kira is the main character and her mom died not too long ago and she has a bad leg. Vanessa don’t like Kira and is trying to get her sent out to the field so the “monsters” can eat her. I would want Angelia Jolie to play Vanessa, and Ashley Teasdale to play Kira. I feel like Angelina Jolie could do the whole mean acting really well and Ashley could do a really good upset little girl act really well.

lrepp4 said...

msmith2
I like how you chose characters you already know about.

lrepp4 said...

Taasved4
I like how you include why Vanessa doesn't like her.

mbradford4 said...

I am reading Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan and I am on page 64. One character from my book is Will. Will has been chosen to be an apprentice. Will is 15 years old. Another character from my book is Halt. I do not know how old is Halt, but Will is Halt's apprentice.Terry Crews is great for Halt, because Halt makes funny jokes. Jim Carry is also good for Will, because Jim looks something like Will.

Taasved4 said...

@lrepp4 I think those people would play them very well. I think that since they have acted together would help a lot too.

Dbecker4 said...

The Giver is the book I am currently reading I am on page 187 and the author is Lois Lowry. Jonas is the main character and he is moderate size and really timid. He is also the new receiver of memory. I would like to see Kevin spacey play as him, one because it would be really funny and two the title of the memory receiver suits him and he has a pretty similar personality. The second character I want to see played is Lily his little sister. She is a young,ignorant, and childish out look on things. I would like to see Debi Derryberry the actor of Jimmy Neutron because her personality is very similar to Lily's personality.

Taasved4 said...

@mbradford4 I think since Jim Carry looks like Will helps and that is a good match.

mbradford4 said...

GKloepel5's book sounds good. I think I want to read that book.

drivera4 said...

I am reading the book I Even Funnier by James Patterson and I finished the whole book.The two characters that I want to choose from my book is Jamie Grimm and suzie Oralvsky but in the book they call her cool girl.To play Jamie Grimm I choose zachary Gordon.And to play cool girl I choose Chloe Grace Mortez.I chose these two actors because Zachary Gordon played Greg Heffley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie and Chloe played the cool girl in the same movie.

erowland4 said...

My book is gathering blue by Lois Lowry and i am on page 85. The two characters from my book that i choose to talk about are Kira and her mother, Kira is an orphan teenage girl who has a twisted leg and is very good at embroidery. Kira's mother is dead but was also an embroiderer and they would work on the singers cloak together.(the singers cloak is worn once a year by the annual singer) If my book was being turned into a movie for Kira i would have Hailee Stienfield play Kira and Scarlet Johnson play her mom because to me they are what i would think the charecters look like.

mbradford4 said...

Taasved4 has the same book as Irepp4.

Daproctor5 said...

That book sounds pretty good!.

Daproctor5 said...

The Giver sounds pretty good!.

ajoseph5 said...

I am reading “Life As We Knew It” by Susan Beth Pfeffer and I’m on page 147. Miranda is the main character. The book is her journal that she wrote it when the moon got hit by an asteroid and got knocked closer to Earth resulting in natural disasters and loss of supplies. Matt is Miranda’s older brother that is visiting from college because of the incident. He usually makes Miranda feel better and says everything will be okay but now he’s freaking out too. If there was a movie based on this book, Shailene Woodley would play Miranda. Shailene would be good at showing all Miranda’s emotions throughout the movie. Ryan Reynolds would be good at playing Matt because he could play a college student and show how calm he usually is but then show how scared he gets later. The movie would be very good and I hope they make it soon.

mmeachum5 said...

My book is the Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan and I am on page 123.The two characters I chose to talk about was Jason and Percy.Percy is from Camp Half-Blood and is the son of Poseidon and Jason is the son of Zeus.Two actors I would like to play them are Michael B. Jordan for Percy and for Jason , Logan Lerman even though he played Percy in the movie.I chose each of these people because I think it would suit them the best.

ajoseph5 said...

@Dbecker4 I have heard that book and movie is really good.

esmith5 said...

I am currently reading the book "Paper Towns" by John green and I'm on page 203. If I were to re-cast Paper towns I think Logan Lerman would be perfectly fit for the part of Quentin, also known as "Q". I chose this actor because in the movies I've watched with him in them he's always played a quirky, awkward personality well and that's how Quentin comes across to me. For the part of Margo Roth Spiegelman, I would definitely chose Emma Watson to play the part. Emma Watson is a very strong female character and her personality is slightly similar to that of Margo Roth Spiegelman. They both exude confidence and are quirky in all the right ways.

Chon5 said...

I am reading Warriors Into the Wild by Erin hunter and I am on page 129. All of the characters in the book so far are just cats but the first one to appear in the book is named rusty. He is a domestic cat that really wants to hunt live animals instead of cat food. Another one is greypaw, who is a gray cat that is training to be a warrior for a clan of cats. Actors couldn’t really play these characters but the director of the movie could try and use real cats.

esmith5 said...

DBecker4,
I read that book last year and I could totally see that.

ajoseph5 said...

@dnazariorodriguez2 I know people who are reading those books and they sound cool.

@chon5

esmith5 said...

mmeachum5,
Logan Lerman would play that part so well. I agree!

zlstevenson23 said...

My book title is "The Juvie Three" by Gordon Korman and im on page 95.The two actors im going to tell you about is Gecko and Rueben. Gecko is a teenager who has bad attentions and does anything to gets people attention. Rueben is Gecko big brother and he has influenced his little brother to steal cars and many other bad things. If this book turned out to be a movie i would play the role Gecko. I choose Gecko beacause he reminds me of myself. I wasnt stealing cars but I had a big brother who was doing stuff and i wanted to do it with him no matter what.

The two characters in my book Alfred Kropp by Rick Yancey, I like the most is Alfred Kropp and Bennico. Alfred Kropp is a high school geek that saves the world. Bennico is like a spy and drives cool cars. Bennico reminds me of Daniel Craig the actor for James Bond. Bennico reminds me of him because he is a spy with cool cars and high tech gadgets. Alfred Kropp reminds me of a cartoon like the nerdy kid of of fat albert. I stopped on page 350.

@klynch4 I love that book.By the way it was the 74th Hunger Games not the 94th.

drivera4 said...

@srodriguez2 Sounds like a really good book I would love to read it.

The book that i am reading is Rules and i am on page 101 the author is Cynthia Lord.David is a guy who like too prank people and humiliate people. David reminds me of the joker because he likes too play a lot and mess people reputation up. Jason is a guy who follow by rules and believes everything you do has rules. Jason reminds me of a army movie because they follow rules and listen too what their captain says

zberroa1 said...

@Tbrown6 good story

The book that I am currently reading is Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings. I am on page 132. Two characters in my book that I would like to describe are Brady and Digger. Brady is the main character of the book who tries to forget what happened the day his neighbors went kayaking. Digger is the person who is possibly responsible for what happened that day. If I could pick any actors to play them in a movie, I would pick James Franco and Seth Rogen. I would pick them just because they are super funny actors.

That sounds like an interesting book.

That book sounds cool. I'll have to read it someday.

I finished the book Reboot by Amy Tintera. The two main characters in the book are Callum, reboot 22, and Wren, reboot 178. Wren is the person every looks as their leader. She's strong and Powerful and in my opinion, would best be played by Kristen Stewart. She seems like she would really be able to capture Wren's personality and feelings. Callum, on the other hand, is sweet and considerate. He's got the potential to be a great leader and stands up for what he believes in. I think Ansel Elgort would be the perfect person for for the role. Ansel would be able to express Callum's feelings and actions really well. Both Kristen and Ansel have played roles that fit with Callum and Wren's personality, making them great matches for the roles.

tfolston6 said...

@TBrown I read that book last year and it was pretty good.

tfolston6 said...

@esmith5 I agree with you. Those actors would also be great for the roles of Margo and Quentin.

Shughes6 said...

My book is killer pizza and I am on pg 51.in the book they are trying to protect someone with paranormal powers. The two main characters are Toby and Strobe.i don,t know what actors I would choose because I don,t watch a lot of TV.

Shughes6 said...

ssthakor1
I have heard that that book is really good .i might choose it has my next book

Shughes6 said...


mdinh6
I have heard that that is a good book. What is it like.

lpark1 said...

I finished my book “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins. The two characters I choose are Katniss and Peeta. Katniss survived the 74th Hunger Games with Peeta, not meaning to start a rebellion, but somehow the Capitol saw that act as a defiance and it eventually started uprisings in other districts. Katniss is determined and independent and is shown as a strong character. Peeta, while, is calm and patient but caring. I would have Shailene Woodley play the role of Katniss, because she fits the strong characteristics as she showed it in “Divergent.” I would have William Moseley play Peeta because to me, he looks similar to the description of Peeta and since the Narnia, he would play well of the role that requires responsibility.

LBaker4 said...

The book I'm reading is called The Death Cure by James Dashner and I'm on page 200. The two characters I would choose are Jorge and Thomas. The actor that would play Jorge is George Lopez because he has some Hispanic influence, just like Jorge. For the role of Thomas, I would have him played by Tom Cruise because he has been in similar movies and looks like what the book describes as Thomas. I think that George Lopez and Tom Cruise is an odd combo but it would still be a great movie.

LBaker4 said...

lpark1
I have read that book and it was very good. Make sure you read all three.

LBaker4 said...

esmith5
I have heard good things about that book and the movie just came out too.

nlabender5 said...

The book i'm reading is The Loyal Virginian by George Finkel and I'm on page 30. Two characters in the book are the main character who is the son of the old Burgess and is the current Burgess in the book, which means he is the current militia captain of the colony.The other character is the main characters father Who was the old Burgess. They haven't specified the characters names yet. If the book were ever to be turned into a movie ,the actor I would like to play the main character is Robert Downey Jr. , and the actor I would like to play the main characters father is Al Pacino. I picked them both because they are both great actors and they don't look that different it could work for the movie to be father and son.

nlabender5 said...

lpark1
I have never read Catching Fire , but i have watched the movie and i think the people you have chose to play them work just as well as the actual actor and actress.

nlabender5 said...

dgross4
I agree Seth Rogan and James Franco are hilarious and if your book is a comedy it would work perfectly.

jedwards2 said...

I'm currently reading the Bully by Paul Lagan and I'm on page 85. One character on my book is Darrell . Darrell is a short boy who doesn't look like he is a freshman . So people bully him because he I'd not used to fighting his own battles . His bully is named Tyray . Tyray forces Darrell to pay him his lunch money everyday . If Darrell doesn't pay up then he will have to face Tyray. Their no hiding form Tyray . Everywhere you turn he appears their.

jedwards2 said...

Why do you think the characters you chose are great actors ? @nlabender5

jedwards2 said...

I wouldn't want to be either Darrell or Tyray because Tyray is a bully . Darrell is the victim of a bully . And this is the 2nd part of my answer because I didnt see the rest of the question .

jedwards2 said...

Why do you think that George Lopez and Tom Cruise will make an odd combo ?

erowland4 said...

lpark1 That is a good book and i would go see that movie, I think you chose good actors

erowland4 said...

lrepp4 i like that you chose two characters who have already acted together so the would feel more comfortable together.

aberryman5 said...

I am reading the book airborne by Kenneth oppel, and I am on page 355. The person I would like playing the captain is Morgan freeman because he is very good at leadership. For matt cruse I think that the person that should be his character should be Logan lerman because of how he looks. For Kate de verse I think Christina Lopez would be good because she is pretty and adventurous.

aberryman5 said...

ipark1 I think catching fire is a good book. I agree with your character choices.

aberryman5 said...

dgross4 I have read that book and loved it but I don't think funny characters would go.

Kcox6 said...

The book I just currently finished was Paper towns by John Green. The book was already turned into a movie but the two main characters I would choose would be Q and Margo. Q is not the popular type of guy, he has good grades and know his future. Margo is a mysterious girl who is the popular one at school. I would but the actor Thomas Brodie-sangster to play Q's role because In his other movies he is a good type of school guy. I would pick the actress Maia Mitchell to play Margo because she has different attitudes in each movie she plays and she would be a good mystery girl

Kcox6 said...

@esmith5
I am reading that book as well and those people would fit great with the characters

Dbeaver2 said...

"The First Americans", by Joy Hakim is what I'm reading. I'm currently on page 103. There aren't any specific characters of this book. Just the story of early American civilization.

Dbeaver2 said...

aberryman - Sounds interesting. Hope you enjoy it.

Dbeaver2 said...

@dbecker That book has a great ending. Hope you enjoy it.

Kcox6 said...

@klynch4
great character choices

GMaran6 said...

The book I am currently reading is named "So Human an Animal" by Rene Dubos and I happen to be on page 100. So first off, this book technically has no characters. My book is just like a person talking about their thoughts which it basically is. Therefore I can't choose any actors or actresses and no there is no movie i know of. The whole book is just talking about topics that deal with our world and humans.

GMaran6 said...

@Kcox6 Not bad, not bad at all.

GMaran6 said...

@aberryman5 Not bad choice making there!

sclark5 said...

The book I’m reading is Flawless a Pretty Little Liars novel by Sara Shepard and I’m on page 76. If I had to pick two different people to be Allison and Toby, I’d have Emma Watson play Allison and have Chase Crawford play Toby. Allison is the holder of all of the girl’s secrets in the book and made Aria, Hannah, Emily, and Spencer friends. At the moment Toby is the weird creep that the main characters despise. I’d choose Emma Watson play Allison because they are both very outgoing but can keep a secret. For Toby I chose Chase Crawford because in Gossip Girl he is very vague and can take care of himself.

sclark5 said...

esmith5 your book sounds interesting, I want to read that book next.

sclark5 said...

lrepp4 I like the actors you chose.

Nmccleese1 said...

I am reading "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth. I am currently on page 111. The characters that I would choose would be Tris, the girl that is strong for everyone, mostly because she doesn’t have the time to mope about her life. The other one I would choose would be “Four”, also known as Tobias, he is the male leader, and he shows everyone that you make it through even if you lost someone. For Tris I would choose Megan Fox to play the role of her. Megan sends the vibe that she could make through and still be strong. For Tobias I would choose Josh Hutcherson because he would be really good at giving you a vibe that he could take on a lot of people, he could be sad, but strong at the same time.

Nmccleese1 said...

@lpark1 Shailene Woodley would totally be good for the role of Katniss!

@ssthankor1 I could see Josh Hutcherson playing as Percy, they both are really funny.

snolen6 said...

I am reading Shades of Earth by Beth Revis and it is the third book in the Across the Universe Trilogy. I am currently on page 289 out of 369 pages. The two characters I’m going to choose are Amy and Elder. Elder is the leader of the ship that I traveling to another planet called Centauri-Earth. Amy is from Earth and has been cryogenically frozen for 300 years and was woken up before they could reach Centauri-Earth. These two characters are the main characters. The actors that I would choose to play them in a movie are Karen Gillan and Josh Hutcherson. Karen because she has long red hair and so does Amy, also she played in Guardians of the Galaxy which also takes place in space. Josh because from the descriptions in the book (tan, dark brown hair and eyes) he looks like Elder also Josh has played in all of The Hunger Games movies which all include life or death situations and so does Shades of Earth.

I LOVE both of those actors.

I really enjoyed that book, I hope you like it!

cmitchell1 said...

My book title is "The Sorceress" by Michael Scott, and I'm on page 216. Two characters from this book are Sophie and Josh. They are the "Sun and Moon" twins of the legend. Sophie's magic aura is silver and Josh's is gold. An actress and actor to play these characters is Olivia Holt and Austin North. I would choose them because they already played twins in Disney's "I didn't do it." They could easily be twins in another show. Plus in the show they were already in, they look like they were close. Josh and Sophie were really close.

cmitchell1 said...

@mmeachum5, I love that book, I would love to see a movie with those characters.

cmitchell1 said...

@dbecker4 I really liked The Giver, with those characters it would be a good movie!

ACardoza5 said...

I am currently reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I am currently on page 53. If the Hatchet was made into movie I think the Eskimo teenager, Brian, would be Josh Hutcherson in 2005. Brian is a Eskimo teenager with divorced parents and ended up in plane crash in the forest while on a flight to go visit his father. I chose Josh Hutcherson because he probably the only like actor that I know that could play that roll. He seems like he could do a good job. The other character would be the pilot. There is nothing you really know about the pilot other than him having a heart attack. The actor I chose for the pilot is John Travolta because I know that he can fly planes and owns planes. He has a Boeing-707 and his own run way in his backyard.

cwright6 said...

I am reading Just One Day by Gayle Forman and im on page 210. Willem is a guy who does palys about shakespere and hes free spirited. Melanie is someone who likes to have fun and do her own thing. The actor I would want to play for Willem would be Richard Madden and for Melanie it would be Nina Dobrev. I choose Richard because while reading the story i just thought of him being Willem. i choose Nina because she is a very good actress and could play any role and shed be able to do it.

ACardoza5 said...

@cmitchell1 That makes sense. It would probably be sort of like a disney movie.

ACardoza5 said...

@esmith5 I actually watched the movie Paper Towns. It is really good.

lpark1 said...

@klynch4 I totally agree with your choice of actors! I'd like to see the movie with those actor and actress.

lpark1 said...

@ajoseph5 My friend's reading that book as well and said it is good. I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

cwright6 said...

@kcox6 I think that Maia Mithchell would be great for Margo.



@kherring i think that Ashley teasdale would do a god job playing her part

ZGano5 said...

I am reading the book Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan and I am currently on page 106. The two characters that I picked from my book were Madame Durret and her son Jules Durret. Madame Durret is in charge of the all girls’ boarding school. She can be firm when she needs to be but she is also very caring for the girls in the house. That is why I chose Angela Lansbury to be the celebrity to play her in a movie. Angela just looks like she could play an older strict and responsible but caring lady. In the book Jules Durret is a very handsome young music teacher that all the girls find very attractive. To play Jules Durret I chose Peter Porte, he is a 27-year-old handsome man and when I picture Jules I picture Peter Porte.

ZGano5 said...

snolen6
Josh would be the perfect fit!!

ZGano5 said...

esmith5
Emma Watson is perfect!! She's a great actress and she can play anything!!

swilliamson1 said...

I am currently reading the scorch trials by James Dashner and I'm on page 155. Two character from my book are Thomas and Minho. Thomas is the main character of the book and he is special, he's different from the others he knows things, he can remember things from before, and he has a special connection to Teresa. Minho is the leader of the group, he is strong fast and smart, he knows what he's doing and he knows how to tell other people what to do, he can think of plans quickly and always manages to get them out of a problem. I think the actor who would be most fitting to play Thomas would be Dylan O'Bryan because he always plays roles with characters who have similar personalities to Thomas and he fits how they describe Thomas perfectly. The actor I would have play Minho would be Ki Hong Lee, I think he'd be the best person the play Minho because he looks like how the book describes Minho and he also is the actual actor who plays Minho in the movie.

Anonymous said...

ZGano5 I agree with you I think that they both would be perfect fits to play those characters.

Anonymous said...

esmith5 I read that book a little while ago and can definitely see tjose two playing them.

Abennett6 said...

I'm still currently reading the book Don't Look Behind You by Lois Duncan page 87. If there was a movie to this book i'd wanna April and Mr. Corrigan. I'd wanna be April because she's athletic, caring, and funny. Those are great characteristics for a person. I would enjoy being Mr. Corrigan he's good at keeping this from everyone, his life is basically a secret which is interesting.

jbruce2 said...

The book I am currently reading is "Flush" by Carl HIaason and I am on page 104. The first character I picked is Noah and he is the main character. He enjoys the life of fishing, swimming, and boating in the Florida Keys. Noah supports his father and try's to keep his parents from having a divorce. The actor I think that would play a good role for Noah is Peyton Meyer. Why I think he would play Noah in Flush if they made a movie is because he could act like a person who loves fishing and does all kinds of outdoor things. The other character I picked is Noah's dad. Noah's dad stick's up for what he believes in and does whatever is right. Even if he knows he could go to jail for his actions. I think Christian Bale could play as Noah's dad in the movie. I could see him always doing what he thinks is right.

jbruce2 said...

@lrepp
That book sounds very interesting and I might want to read it in the future.

sbell4 said...

The book that I’ve already finished reading was Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler. One of the characters, Ivy, is a teenage girl with a younger brother and a mom who remarried after her husband, Ivy’s dad, died. She has blonde hair and hazel eyes and looks like an average teenage girl. Her whole life she’s believed in angels and been afraid of water. But she recently fell in love with a swimmer, Tristan. Tristan was a very popular teenage boy which is why so many people missed him when he died. But when he was alive he also fell in love with Ivy and even in the afterlife he still loves her. He had brown hair and brown eyes and didn’t have any siblings. If my book was turned into a movie, I would want ChloĆ« Grace Moretz to play Ivy and Gregg Sulkin to play Tristan. I chose those actors to play them because they look like the characters and I can just picture it very well.

jbruce2 said...

@msmith
Good response and I love Jennifer Aniston.

sbell4 said...

@Kcox6 very good actor choices

sbell4 said...

@klynch4 I really like the actors you chose. They both make sense and Olivia Holt is a great actress

ARossi2 said...

The book I am reading is The Rule of Thoughts by James Dashner, the second book in The Mortality Doctrine series and I am currently on page 85. The two characters from the book that I would pick are Michael, the main character, and Kaine, the main villain. Michael is a gamer from the feigned reality game, the VirtNet, who has agreed to stop Kaine from trapping people inside, leaving them brain-dead. The person that I would like to portray him is Robert Downey Jr. because even though he is serious at times, he has more of a sarcastic and bubbly demeanor, much like the actor. Kaine is a self-aware Tangent from the VirtNet whose main goal is to put Tangent minds into human bodies. The person that I would like to play him is Donald Sutherland because Kaine is manipulative and can control and brainwash people easily, also Kaine is portrayed as an older figure in the books.

ARossi2 said...

@ACardoza5 those are good actors you chose, especially for a Carl Hiaasen book.

ARossi2 said...

@sclark5 Those are some pretty solid reasons for picking Emma Watson as an actor in your book.

cscott1 said...

I am reading the book The Land of Stories the Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfler pg #425. Two characters from my book are Alex and Conner, they are twins and there grandma is Cinderella’s fairy godmother. In my opinion Ross Lynch because he is an actor that I know and he is around the same age as Conner in my book. Ross Lynch plays Austin in Austin and Ally, it plays on Disney channel I think he would be a god fit to play comer because Austin is goofy silly and not all that smart. The actress I thing should play Alex is Maranda Cosgrove. I think she would be a nice fit because I loved her as Carly on Icarly. She also played the little sister in Drake and Josh. Maranda is a very talented actor and she also look like Alex is described in the book.

cscott1 said...

lpark1 I think that would be interesting to see those people play the roles of katnis and peeta because I already know them as the people in the movie.

cscott1 said...

jwinfrey5 I completely forgot about those two actors/actress those two would work good together.

HHershkowitz1 said...

My book is "Rules", by cynthia Lord and im on page 34. Two characters from my book is David and catherine. David is a 9 year old boy with Down syndrome. He goes to therapy every thurdays, and when hes done, his dad takes him to the game stores because David loves video games. Catherine is a 12 year old girl. She is David's big sister and Catherine helps David with his problem all the time by writing down basic rules that he should know and always remember in life. The actors/actress's that i would want to play these two characters are stephen Hawking as David because he has a problem just like Davids and he has a cery bright mind like him. Also the actor/actress that would play catherine is Ariana Grande because her brother has a disorder too and needs lots of help with things.

HHershkowitz1 said...

@cscott1 very good explanation i love it

HHershkowitz1 said...

@dtthomas Great work. I love all your details

Gazam5 said...

The book I'm reading is Codex by Lev Grossman and I'm on page 135. The two main characters on my book are Edward and Paul. Channing Tatum should play as Edward because they say he is a hotshot young banker. Daniel Radcliffe should play Paul because he and Paul almost has the same personalities. I said those famous people because they are the closest things to my character as in their personalities.

Gazam5 said...

klynch4 I love that book and nice explanation.
