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.

Cscott1 That's awesome details and good characters.

@gazam5 seems like a good book.

My book is “The Grimm Conclusion” by Adam Gidwitz and I’m on page 232. The two main characters in my book are Jorinda and Joringel. They are twins that are stick together no matter what. They love each other unconditionally because their mother neglects them. This book is a little interesting and weird but it’s still good. If this book was a movie I would pick Chloe Mortez who was in “If I stay” and “Carrie” and Logan Lerman who was in “the Percy Jackson series”. Those two actor/actress I chose because they are really good and since the book is kind of weird I think they can deal with it. He is a little older than her but he still looks young. That’s my book and those are two actor/actress that will fit the role.

HHershkowitz1 I think the David actor should be replaced someone younger and can maybe fake it.

kkimbrough1 said...

Gazam5 I think it would work with those two actors.

I am reading Steve Jobs by Patrice Lakin, I’m on page 55. And two of the character from my book is most of all Steve jobs which is the biography is about and the owner of apple then Woz his partner who helped him develop apple to become what it is today. If I had to choose what actress to play a role for Steve jobs it would be Adam Sandler’s because I fell that he would do that part very well and make the movie funny. Then if I had to choose a actress to play wozianka it would be Kevin James, With both of them in this movie will make it hilarious.

instresting book

I am currently reading, “Things We Know By Heart” by Jessi Kirby and I am on chapter twenty-five. In this book, the two main characters include Quinn and Colton, two ordinary teenagers with exceptional pasts. The story is narrated through Quinn’s point of view so she is very important to the makeup of this novel. Quinn is a very intelligent and outgoing individual, however, her life takes a drastic turn when her boyfriend of five years, Trent, dies in a traumatic car crash. As part of her grieving process, she reaches out to each of Trent’s organ recipients. She gets a response from each one, except for the recipient who received Trent’s heart. After four hundred days, Quinn decides to track down the recipient herself, even though she knew it wasn't a good idea. That’s when she met Colton, an attractive young adult who received a heart transplant when he was seventeen. At first, Quinn had no idea that Colton was the person in which she was searching so hard to find. But it soon becomes evident and Quinn struggles to decide whether or not she should tell Colton the truth, even though they are both slowly falling in love. If I were to choose an ideal actress to portray the role of Quinn, I would probably choose Leven Rambin due to the fact that their physical appearance is similar and I think, as an actress, she would really be able to bring out the emotion Quinn feels throughout the story. I think an ideal actor for the role of Colton would be Dave Franco, mostly because of appearance and acting skills.

The title of my book is Maximum Ride- Schools out Forever book 2 by James Patterson and im currently on page 111. The two characters I have chosen is Max who is the leader of the group and little Angel who has special powers and can help the group and is kind of like Maxs sister. I think Angelina Jolie would be good for the role of Max if the book was turned into a movie. Angelina Jolie has played some strong parts in different movies like Tomb Raider plus she is very pretty (bonus!). and the actress that would play Angels part would be Dakota Fanning. She has that young look about her and has played in many kids movies like charlottes web.

@Gazam5 I agree completely on your choices.

WDyke6 said...

I am reading Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee and I'm on page 63. The two main characters are Scout and Hank. I think that Chris Pratt should play Hank because Hank is funny and is always trying to make a joke. I also think that Anne Hathaway should play Scout because their personalities seem similar since Scout moved to New York and changed her personality and the closest actress the her new personality is Anne Hathaway. I chose these people to play them because they resemble the the personalities of these characters.

Chon5 said...

@apatterson1 If that movie came out, I might want to go see it.

WDyke6 said...

Gazam5 That seems like a good book and good job explaining

WDyke6 said...

@chodges6 that seems like a good book and good detailed explanation.

csmith1 said...

I’m reading Enders Game by Orson Scott Card and I am on page 117. Two characters from my book are Valentine and Peter. Valentine is Enders older sister. Valentine and Ender have a very good relationship. That’s why it hurt him so much to leave her to go to battle school. Peter is his older brother. Peter was a big bully. He beat up Ender all the time and was ruthless. I think ChloĆ« Grace Moretz shouls play Valentine because she acts really good when it comes to being nice and sweet. The actress who played Valentine in the movie was good but Chloe would be better.

csmith1 said...

@apatterson1 i think you made a good book choice. i like the character you choose as well.

Jtrumpy2 said...

my book is still halo contact harvest the two characters im going to bring up is staff sergeant Avery Johnson he was reassigned to a militia training camp on the planet harvest and put under order of captain ponder. the actors who i think would play these two characters are samual Jackson and Liam neeson. samual Jackson would be good at playing sergeant Johnson because he has the talent of pulling of acting a military role. Liam neeson would pull of captain ponder because hes daring and can think about things under pressure.

cnelson2 said...

Im reading Alfred Kropp by Rick Yancey and im currently on page 161.In my book there is Alfred and Mr. Myers,Mr.Myers is a really important guy he owns a business.Also he made a deal with alfreds uncle that if he gets him a sword he will get 1million dollars.They got the sword but he killed Uncle Farrel.Alfred Kropp is a highschooler who is really tall.Also he mostly is depressed because his mom died of cancer and he doesn't know his dad. If they made a movie about this i would want to be bennacio because he is really cool because he can fight and he is in all the action.

I am reading The Death Cure by James Dashner and on page 194. Thomas and Newt are two of the main characters in this story. They are good friends in the story and are both good leaders. Although Thomas is the main leader in the story Newt also plays a big role. Chris Pratt would be a good actor for Thomas because he is known to be a hero in most movies and in the story Thomas is kind of known as a hero. A good actor for Newt would be Russell Brand because they would both have a British accent and is a sort of the funny one.

WDyke6 good choices.

DDaniels4 Adam Sandler is an interesting choice.

The name of my book is Sound Bender by: Lin Oliver & Theo Baker and i am on page 237.
Leo is one of the characters in the book Sound Bender another character in the book Sound Bender is his Father that is missing. I would play leo in the book Sound Bender.
Nicolas Cage would be a good person to play Leo in the book Sound Bender.

arodriguez6 said...

The book that i am reading is Torn by Margaret Peterson. I am on page 78. One of the main character is Katherine and the other is Jonah. Jonah is the smart one and Katherine likes to be sarcastic. I think Nicholas Cage should play Jonah because this is a boo where they time travel and he looks like someone who would be the smart time traveler.

arodriguez6 said...

daproctor5
I also choose Nicholas Cage as one of the actors.

arodriguez6 said...

chodges6
I think that is a good actor and nice explanation.

The book that I am reading at the moment is called Addie on the Inside by an author named James Howe and I’m on page 79 I am loving this book so far. The first person in this book I’m going to tell you guys about is Addie who is the main character in the story I would like her to be played by one of my favorite actors who is none other than Keshia Knight Pulliam. I would like her to play because her appearance on Madea Goes to Jail was awesome and I think that she’d play the perfect part of Addie because they have really similar personalities. The other person is her best friend named DuShawn I would like him to be played by Zachary Gordon who played Rodrick in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He was my favorite in that movie as well which is why I think he would be perfect for this part.

tmodican5 said...

@WDyke6 Nice choice I'd pick him as well.

tmodican5 said...

@ischleissing4
Those all really good choices they are really good actors and I would have chosen them as well.

I'm still reading Doctor Sleep by Stephen King after like 4 weeks because its a very long book. Doctor Sleep is the sequel to The Shining. I'm on page 417 out of 531. The two main characters in my book are Abra Stone and Dan Torrance. I think that the person to play Dan Torrance would be Jeremy Renner, the guy who plays Hawkeye in The Avengers. The person to play Abra Stone would be Willow Shields, the kid who plays Prim in The Hunger Games movies. I feel like they're the closest actors that look like the main characters if the book were to become a movie.

shernandez6 said...

@DDaniels4 isnt there already a steve jobs movie

shernandez6 said...

@ischleissing4 that actually could happen because its part of the maze runner series so you never know it could happen o3o

jlhardy5 said...

I'm reading 39 clues by Rick Roidan and I'm done with the entire book. One character in the book is Laney. Laney is a 14 year old boy who is curios and incautious. He loves to see whats down the volcano. He finds out no matter what dangers stand in front of him.Another character in the book is Ana. She is the person who recommends to not do dangerous things. She is disgusted at everything and is drug in everything Laney does. If the book made a movie i would like to play Laney because I would have all of the fun parts where it looks like I'm falling of a bridge. It would be the funnest part.

jlhardy5 said...

@shernandez6
That's a great book i have read it before too

charpe5 said...

The book that I am reading is “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins and I am on page 338. I think that Cara Delevingne should play Katniss because she has the same personality as Katniss. Cara is someone who is fearless and one to fight for herself like Katniss would. She’s a great actress and I think that she can play the role of Katniss very well with her attitude and personality. I think that Theo James should play Peeta because he’s played in Divergent and I think that he could pull off that role.

charpe5 said...

WDyke6, Those are good choices for the book and they could make a good movie with them

charpe5 said...

kkimbrough1, Those are good choices for the book.

ARobinson2 said...

The two main characters of my book, Cat's Liar, is Catarina Benoit and Ridley Cromer. If I could choose an actor to play the roles of Catarina and Ridley, I would pick Katherine Heial to play as Catarina, and Leonardo DiCaprico to play as Ridley. If Katherine played as Catarina, she would fit in perfectly, because Katherine would be able to show the attitude and actions of Cat very good and express her better than any other actor. If Leonardo played as Ridley in a movie, I dont really think that he would have to "act" that much, he would just fit right in, because they have the same personality. I think it would be a great movie if Katherine Heial and Leonardo DiCaprino, played as Catarina and Ridley in the book.

ARobinson2 said...

Good details!

ARobinson2 said...

Sounds interesting and cool.

I am reading "Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25" by Richard Paul Evans and I am on page 114. I think that Avan Jogia should play Michael Vey because he is tall and looks like I think Michael Vey should look like in real life. I also think that Alexandra Daddrio should play Taylor cause she looks like a cheerleader and Taylor is a cheerleader.

ahenderson4 said...

Daproctor5
Sounds cool man.

ahenderson said...

ARobinson2
Sounds like a good choice

Mcromarty2 said...

My book is SCAT and the author is Carl Hiaasen, i'm currently on page 329. The two characters I would choose are Nick and Smoke. Nick is a smart intelligent 13 year old boy who is curious. Smoke is a 15 year old pyro who has no feelings what so ever and could track an animal through any weather. The person I would choose for Nick is Tyler Lautner, because he would go perfect in the role of a curious young boy. The person I choose for Smoke is Tiny Lister because they both are tough and hard nosed people who aren't scared. Those are the two people I would choose for Nick and Smoke.

zbergman2 said...

I am reading the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and im on page 37. The two main characters in my book are Huck and his father. Logan Lugerman because he is young and reminds me of Finn. Finns father should be played by hagrid from The harry potter series because he looks like a giant with a lot of hair. I said those characters because they were who i imagined these characters to look like.

zbergman2 said...

great choices @Mcromarty2

zbergman4 said...

Chris Pratt is a good choice @whdyke6

rpollock2 said...

I'm reading allegiant by Veronica Roth. I'm on page 55. The two main characters in my book are four and Tris. A actor for four would be Chris helms because he his a good actor. A actress for Tris would be Jennifer Lawrence because she is just like Tris.

Afleming12 said...

My book is called all the lovely bad one.The author is Mary downing Hahn.Im on page 92.The actress that I would pick to play the girl in the story is the lil girl who played Annie .Also for the boy I would pick the boy who plays Ravi in jessie. Afleming2

Afleming12 said...

@kylnch4 I have read that book and saw the movie they're both good.

Afleming12 said...

@kherring2 that book seems to be very interesting .

gdougherty1 said...

I am reading the book The Under dogs by Mike Lupica and currently on page 114. The two main characters in my book are Will Tyler and his dad Joe Tyler. I would get Matt Damon to play the part of Joe because I think he would fit into that role well. Will is a kid though and I don't really know any child actors so any male Disney star could play his role.

gdougherty1 said...

zbergman2 Good choice!

gdougherty1 said...

wdyke6 Sounds cool!

Jdaies2 said...

The book I'm reading currently is called "The boy problem", I am currently on page 183 and the author is Kami Kinard. If this book was turned into a movie I think that the main character, Tabbi would be played by Kalani Hilliker and Tabbi best friend, Kara, would be played by JoJo Siwa. I think this because both of these girls look like they are in middle school and both fit the descriptions of the characters. I have seen both of these actors play small roles on Nickelodeon and are stars on "Dance Moms". These actors fit exactly what I imagine when thinking of this book plus, these girls are best friends in real life.

Jdaies2 said...

@csmith1 I like your explanation and I agree with you. Chloƫ Grace Moretz would be an amazing actor for this character.

Jdaies2 said...

@klynch4 I love that you choose those characters and I love that book!

shoulihan6 said...

the book I was reading is hatchet by gary Paulson and there is only one character in the book I would have hi be played by johny dept beacuase he is a good actor and they can make him look like anyone. I am on page...oh wait I finished the book

mbowman4 said...

1.Ms. Terwiliger
2.Bug
Ms. Terwiliger is one of the people that doesn't like Gurl and use her. She mames Gurl steal for her and she hates kids. I think that Pam Ferris would be a great fit to play this character. Pam is an actor from the 1996 movie Matilda and plays Miss Thunchbull the principle. They are both mean and cruel so she would fit perfect.
Bug is Gurl's only friend and he sticks with her the whole story. He is very rough on the edges and wild. I think that David Spade should play as Bug because they are similar in many ways. They both have that don't care attitude and are wild. I'm on page 82, the author is Laura Ruby, and the title is The Wall and The Wing.

I am currently reading "Hurt Go Happy" a book written by Ginny Rorby. Two characters in my book are.. Joey and Sukari. Joey happens to be a deaf, she became deaf by her father's unbearable hand. Hitting her on the sides of her head. Sukari is a chimpanzee that just happens to be Joey's best friend. If I had to choose who could play Joey in a movie I would choose...Camerion Diaz. Camerion is a lovely actress she speaks with confidence and has a very bold spirit.

mbowman4 said...

Jdaies2
Your book and characters seem very intriguing.

zwiggins2 said...

Allegiant is a wonderful book. I finished it about 2 months ago. It's great.
