Title: Wonderstruck
Author: Brian Selznick
1. I would NEVER want to be Rose's parents who will never truly understand her.
2. I would want to be Rose because even though she is deaf, she still wants to live a normal life and yearns for her place in the world.
Title: Catching Fire
Author: Suannne Collins
1. I would never want to be... I don't know there's so many people I wouldn't want to be... but I guess personally I would defiantly not want to be Katness Everdeen. Her life is harder than I could ever imagine.
2. This may sound extremely weird to you, but if I were to cast this book for a screen play I would want to play Katness. I wouldn't feel her pain, but I would be the star of the play.
I'm sorry I spelled Katniss wrong!
Title: Rangers Apprentice, Book 4, the Battle for Skandia.
Author: John Flanagan
1: I would absolutely never be the Ranger Will, for he becomes addicted to this narcotic known as warmweed, and withdrawl can be fatal(bleh). He also is a slave in a place that no slave lives for more than a few years. He then must escape and deal with his overpowringly mind numbing addiction in the snow of the mountains.
2: I don't know many actors by name, let alone how they are on screen so I'm not the best equiped for this question.
Can I not answer it?
Umm, Mrs Howard... there are quite a few typoes (correct me if I spelled that wrong) in the original post... I have no idea what you should do with that info.
:)
oops forgot to capitalize my URL...oh well :(
Title of Book: Dead End in Norvelt
Author: Jack Gantos
1) I would never want to be Jack Gantos ( Boy in the book not the author just named after the author) I would never want to be Jack Gantos because he is first grounded for a year by a thing his parents told him to do and he is almost grounded for anoother year by helping Mr. Spizz.( One of the major volunteer workers also very important in Norvelt)
2)I think Ryan Seacrest would be a good actor for the dad because I can just see him being the way this dad is and doing what this dad is doing.
( If you don't know any actors/actress just type in actors /actress and see what they look like then you can see if they fit the role or if they don't. Just a little advice.)
13 Gifts
By Wendy Mass
1.In this story I would NEVER want to be Tara Brennan, because throughout this story she seems desperate. Her life also seems kind of depressing because her parents are usually overprotective or mad. I also would never want to be her because she doesn't have any friends until she goes on vacation. (I also wouldn't want parents who study mating habits of lemurs.)
2. i think that Emma Watson or Judy Foster could be good at playing this part because they both seem like they could get away with the story, in which a girl steals a goat and puts on a play. These two female actors are talented and could pull off the idea of this book.
Sorry I forgot to capitalize the "I".
First, for the letters thing, it says "prove you're not a robot" HAHA
ANYWAYS!
What book have I read lately?
Title: Hatchet
1. I wouldn't like to be the dude who flies the plane because he is driving the plane when he has a heart attack.
2. I think Josh Hutcherson would be awesome to be Brian (I think that's his name, I haven't read it in a while.) because Josh looks like what I pictured Brian as (personally I think Josh is pretty good looking....), and Josh is just such a good actor. He could manage any roll, even being stranded in the Canadian wilderness. Oh, I don't know if I mentioned this, but Brian is the main character who gets stranded.
I forgot you needed to comment,
Lemming Chase, I really see why you wouldn't want to be that character he seems like he really shouldn't gotten addicted to that drug. (I see why he would of if it was sleep inducing.) You should also try and figure out an actor. Go on Wikipedia.
Exclamation Mark!,
i wouldn't want to be someone who's flying a plane and then have a heart attack either. That would be kind of scary (if I survived the heart attack).
Allstar 20,
i would definitly NOT want to be grounded for a year! That would be terrible!
I'm sorry about the "i"that wasn't capitalized, I keep doing that.
Title: Fablehaven, vol. 5: Keys to the Demon Prison
Author: Brandon Mull
1. I would never want to be Kendra Sorenson. Even though most people would love to be Kendra, because of all the things she can do, (like talk to fairies), I would never want to be her. I wouldn't like to be Kendra because there is a lot of pressure put on her to get thins right on the first time,or else, with one mistake, could ruin the world, (accidentally). People expect so much of her, and I can not imagine having her life.
2. I think that Jennifer Lawrence would be a good actor for Kendra. She is the same actor that is playing Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. I think that she would be the best actor because, in my opinion, they look alike.
All-star 20- I would never want to be grounded for a whole year. That would be torture! Nice comment.
Exclamation Point- That would be awful to have a heart attack while flying a plane. I love how you explained why you would pick the actor.
Title:The sorceress
Author:Michel Scott
1. I would never want to be Josh Newman because he is forced to go or do what ever there told because he is supposed to be legendary and save the world. he really hates it and he cant ever be normal again.
2.The best actor who could play him is Josh Hutcherson. In my mind he looks like Josh form the book. He also has a good acting experience and he would play this person very well!
Title: Mockinjay
Author: Suzanne Collins
1. I would never want to be...Peetah. He was captured by the Capitol and tormented to the point of hating people he really loved.
2. I think Josh Hutcherson would be good, if he didn't dye his hair blonde.(I know he already is, but I think he'll still be good.) I think he should play Peetah because girls seem to have crushes on him, and well a Lot of girls have crushes on Josh Hutcherson.
P.S. I just got the letters wrong once and it said "Please prove you're not a robot"
1.
Book: Maximum Ride (it is a series)
Author: James Patterson
I would never want to be the character Ari. I would not want to be him for more than the reason that he dies. I would not want to be him because his life is full of misery. His father left him for other children. At the age of seven it was hard enough, but also his body was changed to be an eraser(scary wolf like creatures) and it did not completely work so he was in constant pain. And even though he was seven he looked and acted more like a man. Also not only did he die once but TWICE. I would find it extremely hard to die then come back to life only to die a few months later. Overall I would not want to be Ari because his life is depressing with nothing to look forward to.
2.
If I were casting the role for Ari in a movie I would choose Taylor Lautner. I would choose Taylor because he looks like what I pictured Ari similar to. Also Taylor is strong and can pull of a good fight scene. He could also act strong anger and other emotions.
Title: The 39 Clues
Author: There are a lot of authors for the series so I'm just going to pick one: Gordon Kormon
1. I would never want to be Ian Kabra, because all of the girls like him(and he totally disses them), and he is so sassy, stuck-up, rich, and spoiled rotten that he can't even converse with normal people without making rude comments about them, their clothing, or things that come with money.
2. If I had to choose one person to play Ian, it would be Justin Beiber. He is rich, all of the girls like him, and he gets whatever he wants.
Lucifer...
I completely agree that Katniss has a hard life. Even if I was a girl I would not want to be her. It would be hard to do everything that she does.
Do we do both 1 and 2?
Title: Cleopatra
Author: Stacy Schiff
1. This is kind of a hard question for me because this is a biography, but one character I would NOT want to be is Suez Canal, Cleopatra’s servant. She is really poor but she works with the richest person in Egypt (at that time). That would be sad, and I know I would be jealous!! Cleopatra would have Suez "fetch" her jewels, earrings, pearls, and food, while Suez would give all her earnings to her family just to keep fed.
2. I think the best actress for this character (out of the ones I know, which is very few) would be Keira Knightley. She is dark and mysterious, like I imagine everyone at that time. This is a really good book, and if anyone wants to borrow it from me they can, but not in I'm done!!
PS It’s a little hard to start, but it gets way better!!
Yes, we do Bouncing Ninja. Hehe, thats fun to write!!!
Oh and to Skating Animal Lover, I think that he would be good to, I have never read the book but you mke it sound like he should!
Book:2012 Book of World Records
1.I would never want to be the guy that has 237 piercings on his body it would(wuld) be too painful.
2. I don't think the people that break the records should cast for this if it were a movie but I don't see how it would be a movie.
James Blonde
I think JB would be perfect for that role!!
Who is Lucifer
The Great White
Is his sistere's name sofia?
is this the alchemist series?
Responding to exclamation mark..
I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to be Brian because he is stranded in the middle of nowhere without much hope of survival. :(
Title: The Black Book of Secrets
1. I would never want to be Ludlow Finch, an abused resident from a rundown town. He he's just escaped from his cruel parents who were selling his teeth for money and now works for a man named Joe Zabadoo.
2. Joe is a secret pawnbroker who sells secrets for money. I think a great actor for him would be Johnny Depp, who plays the perfect crazy guy. The craziness in Joe is that he thinks his business will profit by moving to a small town. He's also heard to have talked to his frog on various instances.
This is Zeke but the computer is making me put it in as anonymous:)
Title: Life As We Knew It
Author: Susan Beth Pfeffer
1: I would not want to be Miranda because in the book, the world appears to be ending.
2: I think that oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep could beautifully portray Miranda's mother because she (Meryl) is very good at playing strong female roles. Also, she is just an amazing actress in general.
title: Mockingjay
Author: Suannne Collins
1. I wouldn't want to be Prim because she dies a terrible death.
2. I would want to be Katness because she gets to avenge the death of the person she loved most.
James Blonde 007:
You have a point comparing Ian Kabra to JB!!!! They're very similar
(wait for it)
SUPER PUG... AWAY!!!!
Soccergirlie54:
First, you spelt Peeta wrong and second, I am one of those girls who has a crush on Josh Hutcherson and he is going to ROCK as Peeta.
Haha I've seen Josh Hutcherson on like 3 posts so far haha.
Title: Mockingjay
Author:Suzanne Collins
1. I would never want to be Coin because she is the mayor of a whole district underground. She seems kind of strick, but she has to be which is why I don't want to be her.
2. I would cast Meryl Streep because I asked my mom and she said so. Also because I saw her in "Devil Wears Prada" and she was kind of a whitch.

I agree with the Josh Hutcherson thing. It Deffinately is a good publicity move. A lot of teenagers (girls) would die to see that.
Book: Molly Moon Micky Minus and the Mind Machine
Author: Georgia Bying
1. A character that I would not want to be is Micky Minus. He is Molly Moon's long lost (literally) twin brother. I wouldn't want to be him because he was stolen from the hospital as a baby and was taken to the future. His memory was wiped so that he wouldn't remember his real mother's face. I think that his life would be hard when you're used to the ways of the future, and then your twin sister comes from the current time to save you. Just so you know, Molly Moon can time travel, hypnotize, and stop time.
2. I think that Freddie Highmore is the best actor to portray Micky Minus, because he looks like I imagined Micky to look. Also he has been in quite a few movies so far, and is a practiced actor.
Response to James Blonde 007:
I love how you used the comparisons between Justin Beiber and Ian Kobra (isn't it an o not an a?). I think it is very true.
The date of my post is correct, but the time isn't. The time is an hour earlier than I actually posted. I blogged last night, but forgot to post it. The time of this one might be too early as well.
Title: Models don't eat chocolate cookies!
Author:Erin Dionne
1. I would never want to be Aunt Doreen! she is annoying;she annoys everyone around her and she doesn't
even even know it. plus she entered her niece in this modeling contest so her niece hates her. Yeah, definatly NOT aunt doreen.
2. i would cast Well, i dont really know any actors that would work! i'm sure i'll think of something sometime.
Lucifer,
I wouldn't want to be someone who dies not someone who lives, what made you think of that. but i really like your vioce, and title.
I am reading If I Die Young, by Talia Jager. I would never want to be the main character named Caelyn because she is dealing with heart problems and is worried about possibly dying. Second, if anyone I would want to be Linsday, Caelyn's best friend. I would want this because I would be able to be there for a friend and help them. Though, it would be very hard to have to watch you best friend go through all of the things Caelyn is.
Spring!, I bought that book at our school book fair one year and never got around to reading it. Now from what you said I think that I will read it next. (:
Title: Deep and Dark and Dangerous
Author: Mary Downing Hahn
1.) In the book, Deep and Dark and Dangerous, there are a few characters i wouldn't want to be (since this book is about a ghost/horror story) but, the character who i definitely wouldn't want to be is Sissy. Sissy is the ghost of Teresa who died falling out of a canoe and drowning in a lake. i wouldn't want to be Sissy just because she died, but because she died at unrest, thinking it was her friend's fault who died, she came back and haunted her daughter and her niece. i wouldn't be able to stand being so angry and sad that you died that you would actually try to drown a little girl!! i also wouldn't want to go through the pain of dying.
2.) A good actress for Sissy would be Elle Fanning and not just because she looks exactly like her (pale skin, long blond hair, kind of hollow looking eyes) but, also because she would be able to play that constantly rebellious personality and she knows how to act out pain. The first time i saw Elle act was in Super 8.
SoccerGirl54:)
i definitely agree!!! i never ever want to be tortured! that would be horrible! i totally agree that Josh is a *perfect* actor for Peeta!

Title: Million Dollar Throw
Author:Mike Lupica
1. I would not want to Be Nate Brodie (main character) because he has to make a huge throw with a ton of pressure.
2. If this was going to be a screen play i would want Will Ferrel to be my actor because he is not afraid of anybody or anything(sometimes).
I agree with owl eyes because it would be very scary to be a character
Sorry i think it would be very scary to be a character in a horror movie/book
Michelle the Sniper
Isn't that the same book you blogged about in the beginning of the year?
Title: Warriors
Author: Erin Hunter
1: I would never want to be tigerstar (the main bad guy pretty much) because he gets exiled from his clan foor trying murder on the leader.
2: I think Jeremy Irons would be play the voice of Tigerstar because he play the voice of Scar in The Lion King, and Scar and Tigerstar have mostly the same roll in the plot.
I TOTALLY agree with Jame Blonde. Justin beiber is rich and all "oooh look at me i can flip my hair."
