Hey, guys! This week I have finished the David Archuleta book and started to read The Story of the Von Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. However, I have only just begun to read it yesterday, and I am not very far into the book. That being said, I chose to write about The Hunger Games by Susanne Collins. If I were a casting director, I would cast the following people in the following roles:
- Katniss Everdeen: Mulan because I could see her going off into battle and honoring her family, as she did in her movie.
- Peeta Mellark: Justin Bieber because before his haircut, he had long "flippable" hair, just like Peeta. Also, with Justin Bieber, you either love him or you hate him. I think most of the book was written to portray Peeta in the same way.
- Haymitch Abernathy: Aaron Carter because back in his day, he was a big star. Now, although he's rather young, he is a lot less popular. Aaron has been arrested and has turned to drugs. Haymitch is basically the same way, only he drinks, he doesn't do drugs.
- Gale Hawthorne: Jacob Black because both he and Gale are in stories as the main character's best friend. For Jacob, it's Bella. For Gale, Katniss. Both end up losing those people as love interests in the end (oops! hehe).
Well, there you go! My casting choices for the book, The Hunger Games. If you agree with these choices, comment and tell me so. If you don't agree, tell me who you think would be better. By the end of this week, I hope to be almost done with the forty book assignment! After I have read my last autobiography, I will need just one more poetry book, and those are easy. That's all for this week. Don't forget to feed the fishies! :)

Hey Alexandra! I disagree with your choice for Haymitch. I think Robert Downey Jr would be a great actor for that role. I agree with your choice for Gale though!
ReplyDeleteYour choices are well thought out and quite amusing. I am somewhat partial to Emily's idea of having Robert Downey Jr. play Haymitch, but I feel like both of these guys look too good to play Haymitch. I think he needs to be a little older looking. I vote for Hugh Laurie (House).
ReplyDeleteDo you need any recommendations for autobiographies or poetry books?

I thought that your choice of Justin Beiber was really clever for the reasons that you mentioned. Good job!
ReplyDeleteCool background!!! I like your blog it's really interesting. Is your book interesting? It sounds like it! :) I hope you have enjoyed all the books you have read because I haven't :P Good luck on finishing the 40 books assignment!!
ReplyDeleteJohn, I said I need one more poetry book, then I'm done with the 40 books. And Thanks, Grace and everyone else! :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Grace...For some reason, all of your comments come up as spam. Any idea why? I always have to fix it and de-spamify your comments! Hahaha :)
ReplyDeleteHey Alexandra! I thought all the people you chose were really good. The only person I didn’t like was Justin Bieber. I think that he would take the attention away from the main character. If he were to be in a movie, he should be cast as the main part. Good job though!
