Blog #12 Due Monday 12/3/12

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.

Im reading Woods Runner. I am on page 22. The main character is Samuel and his father. I would like to be Samuel because he is brave and not afraid of anything. I wish I could take his part in this book.

i am currently reading marked by pc cast and Kristen cast. I would make megan fox to play the role of zoey the main charter . zoey has brown hair and brown eyes so megan would be perfect. For the role of erik night I would choose kellin Quinn. erik niht is the play boy with swoop hair and look exactly like kellin, in the way the book discrines him.

I am reading Inkheart. I am on page 96. The author is Cornella Funke.I would like to be Farid because i would be part of a fairy tale book. i think Brendan Frazier would make a good actor.

tnichola6 said...

I am currently reading the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Third Wheel. This book is number 8 in the series. I am on page 60 and the book is great. I would pick Freddie Highmore for Greg because he is skinny like him. For Rowley i would pick August Jones the kid in Two and a Half Men.

aazoca6 that was a short post.

I am reading the book The Capture written by Kathryn Lasky. I am currentley on page 32. The main charecters are Soren and Kludd. Soren is a baby owl who is very anxious and always looks on the bright side. Kludd on the other hand is very mean and rebellious. I would have the actor Atticus Shaffers's voice as Soren because he is the person I feel that fits this part. I would have Ryan Ochoa to play as Kludd because he is older and he will most likely fit Kludd's personality.

aisom6 that was a great post.

tnichola6 Good job on choosing actors!

aisom6 Good actors!

Dmcknight2 said...

I am reading The Always War I am on page 140. The main character is Tessa I think Kelly Hu is a good actress. The second main character Gideon I think Daniel Craig is a good actor. The third is Dek I think Mara Willison is a good actress.

Dmcknight2 said...

Mlayne2 I like how you were the first to post your blog.

Dmcknight2 said...

Wperkins6 I seemed interested in your book characters.

dblair6 said...

The book I’m reading is the maze runner by James Dashner I am on page 122. If I had to choose two actors to play my characters I would pick great actors. The characters I want to find actors for are Thomas and Alby. Thomas would be played by Josh Hutchinson. Well Alby would be played by Tyler James Williams aka Chris from everybody hates Chris. These characters both show strength and leadership.

dblair6 said...

tnichola6 Great choice of actors i would have probably done the same.

dblair6 said...

Aazoca6 please be more specific your sentences are very short and incomplete.

BCampbell5 said...

The book I am reading is "Chasing Tiger" by Glenn Stout. I am currently on page 52. If I had to chose an actor to represent Tiger Woods Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr. or T.I. I would chose him because he looks more like Tiger Woods more than anybody I can think of. Plus T.I is a good actor and I thnik he would do a great job representing Tiger Woods.

BCampbell5 said...

dblair6 Great job on your blog, I forgot about Tyler James Williams.


Dmcknight2 who is Kelly Hu? I have never heard of her before.

llambert6 said...

I'm reading Inkspell by Cornelia Funke. The page I'm on now is page 26. I'm not very far in the book so the only characters I can name are Dustfinger and Farid. Dustfinger is a fire-eater and I think so is Farid. Also, Dustfinger has long hair. Farid is young while Dustfinger is older. This book is already a movie, but I've never seen it. The actor I think should play Dustfinger is Alan Rickman who played Severus Snape in Harry Potter. The person who should play Farid is Logan Lerman who played Percy Jackson.

llambert6 said...

dblair6,
I read Maze Runner in 6th grade for a project in Ms. Sebranek's class.

@aazoca6
I'm reading Inkspell which is the sequel to your book--Inkheart.

I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney. I am on page 85. Three characters are Greg Hefley Rowly an Rodrick. Greg is the main character of the book and is in middle school, Rodrick is his older brother and is a real jerk to him. Rowley is the weirdo of he book and is also a wimpy nerd. I would like to be Manney because he gets to so whatever.

nhamilton2 said...

Good job MLayne2 I also read that book.
I agree tnichola6 that was a short post.

I am currently reading sharpshooter by Chris Lynch. I am on page 123. There is four main characters Ivan, Morris, Rudi, and Beck. The main character is Ivan who has joined the army. One of his friends goes to the Navy and the other one goes to the Air Force. And they are all going because the made a deal with each other to go if one of them got drafted and one of them did. But one of the friends “Rudi” is not much of a fighter so they all have to convince him to join and when he does they all say they will watch over him. So I would want to be Rudi because he has a bunch of people watching over him.

LMiller2 said...

nhamilton2 nice job


aisom6 you couldhave been more desciptive

smwilliams2 said...

I just started the book My Fair Godmother by: Janette Rallison. I am currently on page 5. The first character is Jane she is very shy and smart, prom is about to happen and she wants her dream boy to ask her to the dance but he does not even know she exists. Finally he talks to her only to find out he likes her younger sister Savannah. Savannah is Jane’s younger sister, she is the most popular and beautiful girl in the school she also gets all the boys. If I had to pick a character for Savannah it would be Emma Roberts because her looks in the movie remind me of her description in the book. I would also pick Sarah Paxton because for Jane, they have the same personality.

LMiller2
Great Job!!!

llambert6
Sounds good:)

Also there is a girl name Alicia who got beat up not to long ago in the book. Roni is trying to report on Alicia of what happen to her when she got snatched and beat up. If i have to choose an actor/s ill choose Nicki Minaj and Will Smith

aswilson6 said...

I am reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Levine.I am on page 200. I would choose ella enchanted who is the main character in the book. I would choose selena Gomez to be ella because they are both stubborn and selena would be goog for this part. Another character is Charming who is a prince.I would choose Zac Efron to play the prince because his personality is like charming.I would also choose Lucinda who is the fairy in the story. I would choose Whitney houston to play her because she is wise like the fairy.

jjones6 said...

@grenfroe6 maybe you could just be bit more descriptive

yalvarez6 said...

I am currently reading Eight Grade Bites by Heather Brewer. I’m on page 14. The two characters I want to talk about are vlad and his best friend Henry. Vlad is a nerdy vampire who was left in care of his aunt. The only one to know of him being a vampire is his aunt and his best friend henry. Sometimes when Vlad hangs around with Henry he feels that he isn’t good enough to get the lady’s. Henry is a normal good looking teenage boy. When Vlad and Henry were little Vlad bit henry and that’s how he found out his secret. If this book where turns into a movie I think that Luke Benward should play Vlad and Jean- Luc Bilodeau should play Henry. Now that’s a movie I would watch. ;)
grenfro You should make your paragragh more longer and in depth.
smwilliams2 I read that book in 6 grade and i enjoyd it alot I think that you will too.

aswilson6 said...

I am on page 200. Im currently reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Levine.Ella is the main character in the book who is under a curse of obedience.Lucinda is the fairy who gave Ella the curse. Charming is a prince in the story.I would make Selena Gomez Ella because she takes charge like Ella and makes some of the same mistakes Ella makes. I would choose Whitney Houston to be Lucinda because she is wise just like Lucinda. Lastly I would choose Zac Efron to be Charming because they are both attractive men.

aswilson6 said...

aisom6 good job
aazoca6 good job :)

human5 said...

Hunger Games, I am done with the book and the author is Suzanne Collins. Katniss is a brave girl and Peeta is a strong boy. Two actors that would be good to play them are Kaya Scodelario and Lucas Till. I think these people should play the parts because they are experienced.

human5 said...

tnichola6: good job


aisom6: sounds good

BSammel5 said...

I am on page 124 of Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I think a good actor for Brom the storyteller would be Micheal Gambdon because Brom seems like a wise person that knows a lot like Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series. I would choose Cody Linley for Eragon because from my imagination Eragon would look like Mullet Fingers from Hoot. I think the voice for Saphira the dragon would be Amandla Stenberg(Rue from the Hunger Games) because Saphira seems like a sweet Dragon.

kkey2 said...

I am currently reading "Begging for change". The author is Sharon G Flake.I am on page 69.The main two characters in my book are Raspberry hill, and Sato blossoming. The two actresses i would choose to fit these people are Kristen stewart and Rober pattinson.The reason why is because there so madly inlove.

asantacroce2 said...

I’m currently reading Eight keys, by Suzanne Lafleur. The page I am on is 26, the first character I am going to talk about is Amanda, she is considered popular in six grade, Amanda like to gossip a lot. The second character I am going to talk about is one of the main characters her name is Elise she is very nice, she like to play with her best friend Franklin, she is very adventurists and lives on farm. The last is Franklin he is the other main character, he is generous, he stick up for his best friend Elise. If this was a movie I would play Elise because she is brave, nice, and willing. The actor that will play Samantha with be Baillee Madison the actor that would play franklin would be Grayson Chance. The reason I would pick these actor is because the look like what Imagine them too look like.

abroughton6 said...

Jexley6 said...

I just finished reading The Serpant's Shadow by Rick Riordan. For Carter i would pick Tyler James Williams. I would like to be Sadie because she is strong-willed and very humorous. I think Chloe Grace Moretz would make a good actor for her.

Jexley6 said...

Sedwards2 said...

The book I am currently reading is Bluford High Someone to Love Me. The author of this book is Anne Schraff and the page number I am on is 50. Two main characters of the book is Cindy and her mother Lorraine they really don’t get along so good Cindy’s mother put her boyfriend before Cindy. The Actor I would want to play is Cindy because she isn’t very confident in herself and if I played her role I would make her be more confident in herself. Cindy’s mother isn’t so bright so I wouldn’t want to play her role but she is sort of funny though.

sfreer2 said...

jclark2 said...

The book I’m currently reading is called Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata. I’m on page 185 and the two characters I pick from out the book are Lynn and Katie. Lynn is a sickly teenager who loves the ocean and every thing about it to the color of it and to what’s in it. Katie is the middle child of the family who listen to her big sister Lynn but ever since her sister got sick she been taking care of her and her little five year old brother Sammy. Katie is the like the black sheep of the family because she the only one who give her mother and dad a hard time out of the three kids. If I had a famous person to act as Katie it would be sky Jackson off of Jessie because she is the trouble maker in the family and gives her nanny a hard time just like Katie give her mother a hard time. A famous person I would use for Lynn is zendaya off of Shake it Up because she never give up on what she doing just like Lynn.

@aswilson6 sounds like you got a good book and good job.

ssorgi5 said...

My book is Summer Ball by Mike Lupica. I amon page 11. Danny Walker is a short 14 year old basketball player. The actor I would use to represent him would be Chandler Giggs from Walking Dead because he looks similiar to the kid on the cover. The Dad Richie Walker was also a basketball legend so I would choose Steve Nash.

ssorgi5 said...

Sfreer2 short and to the point.

sedwards2 good job.

dsmith5 said...

The book I am reading is November Blues by Sharon Draper. I am on page 216. November, the main character is strong and going through alotof things. She is pregnant right now and her boyfriend is dead. The actress I would choose to play this role would be KeKe Palmer. Another character is Josh, he is November's boyfriend who dies jumping out of a two story building window. I would choose Chris Brown to play this role.

jjones6 said...

My book is The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. Currently I am on page 246. The two characters I choose are Percy and Hazel. Percy is a boy who dramatic and needs to take every precaution before taking action. Hazel is a girl who likes to fight and correct everyone's speech and actions. I would choose Logan Lerman to play Percy, because he displays all the the same characteristics. For Hazel I would choose Emma Watson, because she looks just like how they explain her features in my book.

eyakel6 said...

I just finished Alice in wonderland written by Lewis Carroll. my book has already been made into a movie but if i had to change the actors who played in the movie i would change the mad hatter to adam sandler because you mostly see him being in a comedy i would want to see how he does in a serius roll. and the second actor i would change is the red queens assistant to Johnny depp becaus ehe has more of that evil assistant look.

eyakel6 said...

mlayne2
who would play the main character in a movie about your book?

eyakel6 said...

aisom6
megan fox i think is a great choice for that character.

zbauer5 said...

I'm finished reading Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. Three characters are Percy Grover and anabeth. Percy is a son of a Greek god, anabeth is the daughter of a lamer Greek god, Grover is a goat man. I wouldn't want to be any of these characters because they weren't that interesting. Also there was a movie for the first book.

zbauer5 said...

eyakel6
Good post

Why did you post the blog question?

mruvio6 said...

I am currently on page 26 of Hide & seek by: Katy Grant. The main character Chase is adventuress loves exploring outside and has short light brown wavy hair. His sister Kendra likes to be indoors and has dark straight hair. I would choose Dylan Sprouse to be Chase because they both have mischievous personalities and Emma Stone to play Kendra because she reminds me of her.

mruvio6 said...

llambert6 good job!



MLayne2 you should make your post more detailed.

cdayawon-bobbitt5 said...

I am currently reading maximum ride the angel experiment: by: james patterson. I am on page 412. I think the role of 'fang' would be Johney dept because he fits fangs attitude. fang is the strong yet not really excited type. For max, would choose megan fox because she represents the strong leadership characteristics for max.

cdayawon-bobbitt5 said...

wperkins6

good post.
aisom6 i might want to look up kellin quinn. never heard of him.

mquinn6 said...

I am reading harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban. I am currently on page 25. The main character harry potter i think a good actor for him is Jessie Eisenberg because harry is described as a nerd looking figure. Another character is Ron one of harry best friend. A actor i think that would do good is Matthew Lilard because Ron is described as a low minded red head.

mquinn6 said...

irivera2 good post

mquinn6 said...

wperkins6 good post

nsmith5 said...

I had just finished an AMAZING book called Howl's Moving Castle written by Diana Wynne Jones. Three characters that I really like are Young Sophie, Howl, and Markl. Lana Del Rey (even though she isn't an actress) should play the part of Young Sophie because Lana is graceful, and has a very witty/cat-like facial structure. I think that Vincent LaCrocq would be good at playing Howl because he is really tall, skinny, and has a pretty deep voice like Howl does. Of course I would volunteer to play Markl, because he is young, sarcastic, and clever.

nsmith5 said...

@tnicholas6
I remember when I used to read Diary of a Wimpy kid. The author is STILL coming out with new books?

ccummings5 said...

I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 301.Peeta Mellark's family owns a bakery,he was in the 74th annual Hunger Games,and volunteered as tribute for the quarter quell.Katniss Everdeen hunted in the woods outside District 12,she was also in the 74th annual Hunger Games,and she was selected to be in the quarter quell.I think Cody Linley should play Peeta, when I read the book I pictured someone like him to play Peeta, they both have blonde hair.
Scout Taylor Compton, I'm used to seeing her with brown hair and Katniss has brown hair, Scout is a very good actress.

ccummings5 said...

aisom6

Kellin Quinn isn't an actor so I don't know if he really counts.

ccummings5 said...

dblair6

I think it's good that you wouldn't choose bad actors.

EPata2 said...

I have currently finished the book Daniel X by James Paterson. I would probably choose Cole Sprouse as Daniel. For Urgent Seth I would probably choose Nathan Kress. I would choose Cole for Daniel because the way he is described in the book, is a close profile to Cole's. I would choose Nathan for Urgent Seth because of the type of acting he does in the book is comparable to some of the work Urgent does as the antagonist in the book.

EPata2 said...

@Dmcknight2

Sounds like a good book.

EPata2 said...

@dblair6

Great job Mr. Mayor

IRivera2 said...

The book I'm reading is Crossed by Ally Condie. I'm on page 78. If I had to choose a actor to play my character, Cassia, I would choose Jennifer Lawrence because she has experience playing a fierce rebel. I would choose Avan Jogia to play Ky. I would like him to play Ky because he's the guy I imagined when I was reading.

IRivera2 said...

@mglover

Nice

@epata

good job

Adavis2 said...

I'm reading the Last Shot by John Feinstein, im on page 33. The main character(Steven) would be lebron james when he went to college because it's about basketball and their story lines are very similar. For the Head coach i'd have Sandra Bullock because she meets all the criterias and puts heart into everything. Finally for Stevens dad i would have Johnny Depp because he is aboslutely hilarious...

@mglover6 tracker is a good book fromwhat ive heard.

@Epata2 Well said ethan, make sure to increase your blog size though.

jphan2 said...

I'm currently reading The Hunger Games by Susan Collins. I'm on page 26. The main character is Katniss Everdeen and she would be Jennifer Lawrence because she is fierce and fearless of a character. For Peeta he would be Josh Hutcherson because he has the shy face and is a really bold and compassionate character.

jphan2 said...

IRivera2
good job! I like your post!

jphan2 said...

adavis2

I like your post! it was really good!

Nluna6 said...

i am currently reading The Hunt For The Seventh by Christine Morton-Shaw and I am on page 46. I would pick Jim , which is the main character, he is the really adventurous one and who likes to take risks unlike hid Dad which is the kind to be safe and be cautious and stay low.

Nluna6 said...

@ EPata2
good post it seems cool.
@ jphan 2
good post as usual!!! (:

JWalker5 said...

The book that I am reading is called “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway and I am on page 41. Two characters from the book that would choose is of course the old man and the boy and the actors that I would have play these characters are Tommy Lee Jones and Chandler Riggs ( the boy from The Walking Dead.) I choose the people because Tommy Lee Jones kind of got the same facile features and the old man and Chandler Riggs can really get into character when it comes to helping people.

JWalker5 said...

aisom6 nice post

JWalker5 said...

Aazoca6 your post is kind of short

ssuskin5 said...

I was reading City Of Bones. I have finished the book. One of the main characters is Clary. I think she should be played by Emily Browning. The character is supposed to be brave and i think she would be great.

ssuskin5 said...

@aisom6
I read that book and i think Megan Fox would be awesome for that part.

@dblair6
I also thing Josh Hutcherson would be amazing for that role.

JCardenas6 said...

Im currently reading Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke and on page 358. I would make Dennis Haysbert Firedrake the dragon, Zachary Gordon as Ben the boy, and Jada Smith as Sorrel the brownie (mythical creature).
