2. This picture shows a man distraught. That's Hamlet!

Then, he took a small wad of bills from his pocket and removed the only twenties he had, two of them. He held them out. "Get your wife something nice," Eddie said (Albom 6). 

I would choose Robin Williams as the actor to play Eddie because he was such a genuinely kind and fun loving person and always looking out for the good of others in other roles he played. I just think he would fit this character really well and would do a good job and interpreting this experience in 'Heaven' from the book.

Something that makes my heart leap, then crash to the pit of my stomach. I don't want to hear this. Don't want to see it. Still, I can't turn away... And then there he is. In light grey sweats. Lost in his own rhythmic world. A runner."

This picture shows a young high school girl who lost her leg but is trying to run again. Her face looks like it has no hope but someone is out there trying to push her to pursue her dream.

2. I choose Autumn to be dressed as a dancer because that is what she had to do to distracted Ty.

1. "I walk out the back door, to the terrible sound a Mae Mobley crying again. I start down the driveway, crying too, knowing how much I’m on miss Mae Mobley, praying her mama can show her more love. But at the same time feeling, in a way, that I’m free…Freer than Miss Leefolt, who so locked up in her own head she don’t even recognize herself when she read it." -Aibileen Clark
2. I chose the actress Loretta Devine because I saw her act in the show "Grey's Anatomy" and she played the wife of one of the doctors. Her character was kind and thoughtful towards everyone and I thought she played those traits well. Her character in "The Help" would be Aibileen Clark, who is also kind and thoughtful!]]> 2018-11-20 19:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/306505055 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/306505391 1. "I had often thought that if I had managed to live through the war I wouldn't expect too much of life. How could one resent disappointment in love, if life itself was continuously in doubt? Since Belgorod, terror had overturned all my preconceptions, and the pace of life had been so intense one could no longer know what elements of ordinary life to abandon in order to maintain some semblance of balance. I was still unresigned to the idea of death, but I had already sworn to myself during moments of intense fear that I would exchange anything - fortune, love, even a limb- if I could simply survive." 

2. This picture shows a german soldier who has obviously seen and done too much. I believe this shows how Guy Sajer was feeling during his time at war.

2. I choose Denis Quaid to play the role of David Sheff the father. Denis seems to always play the "dad" role in a lot of movies, and plays it quite well. I really choose him based on his role in Soul Surfer. The stories in this book aren't quite the same, conceptually they are both young teens suffering with an issue that affects more than just themselves and need their families help.

2.) I would choose Johnny Depp play Phillip Garrido (Jaycee's kidnapper). Johnny plays very strange and twisted rolls. He would fit the role of the twisted abductor.

I have been alive for 307 months. Nine of those months were pretty terrible. But 298 of those months have been very good. I have been happy. I have been very blessed. Who knows how many more months I have to live? But even if I died tomorrow, nine out of 307 seems like pretty good odds.” 

2) I would chose Dakota Fanning to portray Elizabeth in a film. Fanning is popular and seen in a few suspenseful and serious movies. She would give a compelling and realistic performance.

These men burst into our home at night, slam her into a mirror--and she asks them to pardon her? Then she reached for it, the long gray coat, and suddenly I understood. She was playing the Soviet officers like a careful hand of cards, not quite sure what might be dealt next."  pg. 11
2. I would choose Jenny Seagrove as someone to play Elena Vilkas Linas mother as they go on this terrible journey because she is the mother in the movie Another Mothers Son and she represents someone that could be the mother of Lina in this book.
Jordan Mohler]]> 2018-11-26 03:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307616722 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307752210 David Wilhelm

“I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”  pg 114
I would chose Mark Wahlberg as the main character. He plays in lots of war movies and he would be a good fit in the role for a movie about a war.]]> 2018-11-26 13:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307752210 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307780509 1."I was so fat I disgusted her. She couldn't leave it alone. 'Ben, you ought to get more exercise. Ben, you'll have a heart attack before you're 40 if you don't loose weight. Ben with little children starving in the world, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.'" page 499

2.I'd pick Tommy Calahan to play the role of Ben Hascom. Ben Hascom is very fat and so is Tommy. Tommy, would fill in the physical description of Ben.
-Aj Anab]]> 2018-11-26 14:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307780509 19adisalle_95 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307794518 1.) I go to a diner the night before our bowl game. The waiter said to me "Whats the difference between cheerios and Notre Dame?" I didn't know the answer, "Cheerios belong in a bowl Notre Dame doesn't." That was supposed to be a funny but I didn't find any humor in it. I remained calm and said to the waiter "It's my turn to ask a question. What's the difference between Lou Holtz and a golf pro?" He said "I don't know." I replied, "Golf pros give tips, Lou Holtz won't."

2.) I would pick Robert De Niro to play the role of Lou Holtz because they are both old and so wise and full of wisdom. Well at least Robert De Niro plays those kind of roles in movies and I think it would be a good fit.

"'Oh my God,' she murmured. 'This is too good.'
She swiped the body of the email and forwarded it to RTWING90@yahoo.com.
Drew, she typed. Spam this out to the whole wide world" (Picoult 316).
2. I would pick Rachel McAdams to play Courtney Ignatio. Her role as Regina George is similar to Courtney's character: she was one of the popular kids & a bully. In this quote she shared a private email meant for her friend, Josie, to humiliate Peter, who sent the email to Josie to tell her he had a crush on her.

2. I would pick Monica Geller from Friends to act as Rachel. In this book Rachel is easily flustered. She gets frustrated when things aren't planed, or she doesn't have full control of what is going on. 
Claudia Hamman]]> 2018-11-26 18:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/307954236 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/308099691 1) "Seven!" Daddy yells. Even though he's lying on the concrete, there's enough authority in his voice to make Seven shut up"
2) The way the father in The Hate U Give is portrayed makes me believe Ice Cube would play the great role. The dad in this book is described as "dark brown, buff, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, heavy voice" In every movie Ice Cube plays in he usually is the tough one with the stern voice used to stop bad behavior, issues going on.

1. "I know it's only been about two weeks since the last time you wrote me, but in here, two weeks seem like two years. Time means nothing cause contrary to popular belief things don't get better with time in here, but time means everything cause when it's finally over things will be better."
2. I would choose Corbin Bleu because he fits the physical descriptions used in the book to describe Antonio.]]> 2018-11-27 14:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/308286269 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/308297350 1) "Then there were mortars. General Garrison seemed to regard mortars as little more than an announce. He had walked around casually during the early mortar attacks, his cigar clenched in his teeth, amused by the way everyone dove to cover"(Bowden 206).

2) I would pick Brad Pitt to play General Garrison from Black Hawk Down, as he preformed a similar role in War Machine; a fearless General who wants to win at any cost.

Kyle Bengela]]> 2018-11-27 14:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/308297350 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/310505846 1) "No, Megan. It's my book. You and your children have done nothing but try to get me to stop. Well, I've got news for you. I will not stop. I know what a powerful machine the Store is. No one knows as much as I do. No one has looked at it so closely" (Patterson)
2) I would pick Anthony Rapp to play Jacob Brandies because he fits the characteristics and he played an investigative role before.

1) "Harry --- yer a wizard" (Rowling 50).
2) If I had to choose someone to represent Harry Potter, I would have to pick Jesse Eisenberg. He seems to give off the same "vibe" that Harry Potter gives and the visual representation of him looks the same.]]> 2018-12-12 18:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/313998855 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/314000985 2018-12-12 19:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/314000985 https://padlet.com/ddrew2/ain679fgdren/wish/315400017 By: Ricardo A.

1)“It’s true, you know. In space, no one can hear you scream like a little girl.” 
2) The one guy that fits the role of Mark Watney has to be Steve Carell. He seems to fit Mark Watney so well because of his humor and because he had such a great role from The Office.
