Tomasz (toh-mawsh) thinks that the other two like to make slight fun of him, see him as a small child, and don’t want to recognize him for his heroics.
2. My character worries about how they’re going to survive and figuring out what is actually happening.
6. I have no idea who I would cast to play my protagonists or my antagonist if I could.
1. Seth is the kind of person who is stubborn and persistent. It’s difficult to change his mind.
24. I think what Seth loves most about himself is that he is resilient and able to push through most situations despite everything that’s been thrown at him.
3. Right now, Seth is trying to explore the town and see how far this place goes and find out what this place even is. He’s recently found that there are other living creatures besides him. His best theory right now is that this is his own personal hell designed to torment him with his memories.]]> 2022-02-10 17:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040776021 Eric Wynn is reading Djeliya by Juni Ba ericwynn https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040776629 7. It’s different between the two main characters, Mansour Keita see the world as a place soon to be doomed but cherishes every moment like if the world is his and Awa, on the other hand, believes that the world can heal from its wounds and cleanse itself from the grit that was once laid upon it. She seeks for redemption, freedom, and Justice for everyone that yearns for a better world. Which is why she was chosen to decide the community’s future.
4. When I started, my first impression of Awa was that she would always remain as a Djeli for the rest of her life and that she’ll seek nothing further but it wouldn’t stop her from being who she is. However, now I realize that Awa was always the chosen one, her family and religion kept her leveled and concentrated more than Mansour Keita was, which is why she was given the right to pick between an open community and a closed community. What’s best for the people.
13. I would interview Keita because as much as he is in the book, he doesn’t show much dialogue so I would love to ask him what his future is after Awa was granted the gift to choose between an open and closed community and how he continues to drag on his legacy.
5. I would love to have dinner with Awa, she has a yet energetic but determined mind, she’s also a good listener. She comes from African descent so I would take her to Bo’s Falafel Bar so that she could try out and be my critic on the food that they have there.
14. Keita and Awa would love to travel around the world and learn about different cultures, what foods they like, or the type of music they like (because Awa loves music) but if they had to go somewhere specifically, it would be America because it has different types of music, cultured food with the help of different cultures and many more.
17. My characters would change the decision of the Tower’s Residence: Either an open source or an closed source because once they were accompanied by the spirit of Soumaoro’s worker, she gave Awa the opportunity to take control of the tower but Awa made the choice of what the people want, Open or Closed.
11. A minor character is Xogne. He is great behemoth that once was very little and lived with Awa and her dog for a short time until they split up after the kingdom had fallen. His perspective was to find his inner peace and restore what he had left from the kingdom, knowing that no one accepted him, he goes on to venture himself as he soon meets up with Awa once again.
2. My characters, Mansour Keita and Awa Kouyate, worry about who was the wizard behind the destruction of their people’s kingdom. They tend to worry about other things like big robotic assassins or a golden sumo statue that guards a precious treasure. Their main worry is still intact but other problems start to rise as they go further into their adventure.
6. I would cast Chadwick Boseman as Mansour Keita, because I can see that Chadwick and Keita share the same personalities: Having African descent, talented, and soft spoken. And I would cast Danai Gurira as Awa Kouyate, her also having African descent and being extremely talented, she always seems to play a powerful and intense role so I choose these two.
1. There are technically two main characters but I’m going with Mansour Keita because I like him the most so far. Keita is a heroic, curious, and positive warrior. Being the son of a now fallen kingdom, he still chooses to be adventurous and outgoing as he ventures off to defeat the evil being that once destroyed his people’s kingdom.
24. The protagonists love each other, even though they may argue or see things differently, they will always find a way to come back together and share that bond once again.
3. Mansour Keita and Awa Kouyate, his djeli. (A djeli is a warrior who serves as the protector of the last surviving son of a kingdom that ended a long time ago). Right now, Keita and Awa are traveling to find the lost remaining armor of his tribe so that they can use it to defeat the evil sorcerer that terrorized his tribe. Keita ends up having to speak to the very large boss of a local nightclub, in exchange for his armor, Keita has to find a hyena boss named Bouki who possesses a nice pair of jujus (talisman) which gives Bouki ultimate power and the nightclub boss, Mbam, wants it because Bouki wishes to overshadow him in the long run so their adventure sets off to retrieve the jujus for Mbam.]]> 2022-02-10 17:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040776629 Rylee Todd is reading my Making A Play By Abbi Glines ryleetodd https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040782955 7) in my book Aurora is deaf so how see sees the world has a little less conversation in it. Making it hard to trust people. 
4) when I started my first impression of Aurora was that she would be shy and close to her brother and father. But after reading I realized that Aurora is independent and doesn’t like to be told who she can hang out with and what to do and when she dose it.   
13) if I could interview anyone in the book I would interview auroras dad. Because I would like to learn what is past was like and why he things the way he dose. I would what to learn why his kids think he is racist. 
5) If I took any of the characters out to dinner I woolier take Aurora because I would like to learn how her life is while she couldn’t hear. I would also what to learn more about her mom and her old school. I would take her somewhere she likes, like pizzia. 
14) Aurora would like to take Ryker back to her home town we’re she grow up and where she felt comfortable. Because in the story both Aurora and Ryker really like each other and Aurora doesn’t like that her dad and Hunter are pushing her to live a life they want want not her. 
17) If Hunter had a Time Machine I think he would travel back to when his parents split and try to prevent it. This would allow Hunter to live with his mom as well keeping him and his sister from splitting up. 
11) a minor character in my book is Nash. His perspective about things are focused around the idea of his team wining the championship. And less about what is happening in school and outside of football. 
2) The character in my book Hunter. Is worried about his sister fitting in at her new school. He also worry’s about protecting his sister from getting hurt from Ryker.
6) I would cast my sister as my protagonist because one day she’ll find a boyfriend. Then I would cast my step brother as the antagonist because I can see him being very protective with her and making sure she has someone who will be there for her if she needs. 
24) I think the protagonist in my story loves that she can be brave and step out of her comfort zone a little. 
3) Hunter sister is starting high school at Lawton. So far she has met some of the football team and is starting to find out that she belongs at Lawton high school. ]]> 2022-02-10 17:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040782955 Jordan Hanson is reading Uncaged by John Sandford &Michele Cook jordanpaulhanson https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040784298 4. My first impression of the character was that she’s a teen spy with a group of friends, but she is actually trying to find her brother who raided a lab
14. My protagonist would probably want to go down south because her brother ran away and that’s where he is at the time
17. If my character had a time machine she would go back and to try and save her moms life
11. The security guards perspective is that he saved the lab from the attackers and that he shot the girl in the shoulder on accident because of the kid tasing him.
6. I would probably cast Kevin James as the security guard for the reason of that he was in Paul Blart the mail cop
24. I think something that is on my character’s buck list is to get out of the crime written town and to not get caught trying to leave ]]> 2022-02-10 17:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040784298 Brody Farrens is reading “The Color of Heaven” by Kim, Dong Hwa brodyfarrens https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040788606 7.) From what I’ve read Ehwa see’s the world with a more easygoing outlook, but I believe that’s because she chooses for it to be that way.  
4.) When I first started reading, the impression that Ehwa gave off was that she is a caring and loving, most definitely an air head. But now as the story has progressed she’s started to mature into a young lady. 
14.) Ehwa would most definitely take her Fiancé with her, But to say where they would go is a mystery. If I had to guess it would be some place very peaceful and quiet 
17.) If Ehwa had a time machine, I believe she would go to one or two places in time. 1 being, stoping her dad from leaving them or 2 stopping her fiancé from getting involved with the mafia. 
2.) Ehwa worries about not having enough money to help her mother with her house, and her fiancé who is working overseas.
1.) Ehwa is a extremely passionate, caring and warm-hearted person, who puts her own personal feelings last. She’ll do anything to help the people she loves. 
24.) I feel like what Ehwa loves the most about herself, is definitely how passionate she is with others.
3.) Ehwa is the protagonist of my story, at the moment she is conflicted, heartbroken and filled with many emotions about her mother and fiancé, who went over seas to make money so they can get married. ]]> 2022-02-10 17:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040788606 Ryder Heinrick is reading Lockdown escape from the furnace ryderheinrick https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040791025 14. I’d imagine Alex would want a vacation to be where he grew up, though it’s never specified where in the novel
17. Alex would time travel back a few months before and completely avoid hanging out with his friends then have irrefutable evidence that he couldn’t have killed his friend
11. Brandon, he plays a small role in the story who has a house that Alex is supposed to break into
2. He worries about getting caught by officers/guards
6. Probably Leonardo DiCaprio as the protagonist because he’s an actor that could this role off very well.
1. Lone wolf, he likes to do things solo without help
24. He has unstoppable willpower and does what he feels is right
3. The main character is running away from authorities in a prison while trying not to get caught]]> 2022-02-10 17:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040791025 Sarah Nelson is reading “This Is Where It Ends” by Marieke Nijkamp sarahnelson3 https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040794449 7. The antagonist Tyler sees everything against him, the world, his family and friends. Everyone and everything is against him and is fighting towards the downfall of him. Everything is angry and sad and everyone is angry towards him. That’s why he chooses the actions he does, to hurt others the way he sees they hurt him.
4. When I first started my first impression of Claire was that she quiet, reserved, and a weak character. I quickly found out that while she was reserved, she was such a strong character and is a big influence in the book and the outcome of the book.
13. If I could interview anyone in my book I would probably interview Tyler, I would love to ask him why he decided to act the way he did and what steps he had to take to do so.
5. If I could have dinner with any character in my book it would be Fareed. He is a large part of helping to get student out of the auditorium and I would love to have a conversation with him. I would take him to Noi Thai because he seems like he would like spicier food since he is kind of daring.
14. If my character could take a vacation anywhere she would probably go to Arizona with her best friend Chris. She loves to run and AZ has some great trails with warmer weather to run in.
17. If my character had a time machine she would go back and change how her and Tyler ended things, try to support and help him more so that no tragedy happens like the one they are experiencing now. 
2. My character worries about her brother, and how he is not safe and can not be kept safe while in the auditorium.
6. I would cast Olivia Holt as Claire, she reminds me of the character described and I can picture Claire very clearly with the same characteristics as Olivia Holt has. 
1. There are 4 main characters and we are learning about their situation from different perspectives. The author illustrated Claire first, who is a very caring person, she loves to run and spend time with her best friend Chris. She is thoughtful, caring, determined, and loving.
24. My character loves that she is a fast runner, with good people surrounding her, and that she makes smart, quick decisions.
3. There was some background behind the characters and who they are/what they have been dealing with. Most of these main characters are locked in the gym with a previous classmate who is threatening to kill them and others.]]> 2022-02-10 17:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2040794449 Mrs. Mottern is reading The Humans by Matt Haig jody_mottern https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2050157575 7. The protagonist (the alien) sees things very scientifically.  He only sees things through the lens of scientific principles.  He doesn’t understand the nuances of human behaviors like abstract concepts of love and other intangible feelings.
4. When I started, my first impression of the alien version of Andrew Martin was that he was cold and calculated and had no real human feelings like empathy, guilt, kindness, or fear.  However,  now I realize that he has learned human emotions and understands the value of having “feelings” - the good and the bad ones.
13. I would want to interview the alien who has taken over Dr. Andrew Martin’s body and I would like to ask him more about what his planet and galaxy are like.
5. If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be Gulliver.  I feel like he has been neglected by his parents for a long time and would really love some extra attention! I would take him to the new restaurant, Walt Reilly's, on the westside because I hear they have mini golf, as well, and I thought that might be a fun place to take a teenager.
14. The alien who has taken over Dr. Andrew Martin’s body would likely take a vacation to somewhere in another galaxy I have never dreamed of.  However, he may want to experience a place like the Egyptian pyramids to experience a mathematical phenomenon.
17.  The alien inhabiting Martin's body  would go back in time and prevent Dr. Andrew Martin from solving the Reimann Hypothesis  so that his life and the life of his family and friends would no longer be at risk.
11. Gulliver is Dr. Andrew Martin’s son who sees his dad as only focused on his work, completely neglecting his family.  He is resentful of his dad’s genius because he feels like everyone expects him to be as smart as his dad and so he is a constant disappointment to everyone.  In addition, he is humiliated by his dad’s recent “mental breakdown” and is angry that his peers have yet another reason to bully him.
2.  My character, the one who is inhabiting the body of Dr. Andrew Martin, worries about being caught by humans before he is able to fulfill his mission.  He is also concerned about the consequences of Dr. Martin’s discovery of the the Riemann Hypothesis which will threaten his species.
6. I would cast  Benedict Cumberbatch as the alien inhabiting Dr. Andrew Martin because he has the blend of a sophisticated Englishman but with a secret  maniacal side.
24. I think that the protagonist loves their intelligence (particularly their ability to understand complex mathematical concepts) above all.  I would also add that they value and love their species, as a whole, more than the individual.
3.  Right now in my book, an alien has taken over a human's body and is exploring Earth for the first time.  He has been hit by a car, escaped from an ambulance, and is absorbing the language by reading Cosmopolitan Magazine.

My main character Travis worries about not following his older brother Carter’s legacy in being a D1 football player and having a great work ethic.
1. The main character in my book is a very brave and kind person. He grows up in a very good family and keeps that good family reputation by being a very nice kid and respectful. 
24. something that Travis really loves is football and his family . His brother recently got a college offer from the gators and afterwards the coach for the gators took Travis and carter out to the backyard to throw the ball around. 
3. Travis Gardner’s brother carter is a d1 football player and plays for the Florida gators. Travis gets to meet the coach and show off some of his skills at a practice. Travis comes into that practice as a top prospect in the 7th grade and looks to match his brother or be better than him.

They would go to Arkansas since that is where his family is and he hasn’t seen his family in 4ish months at this point.
17. My character would go back and change his decision to join West Point at this point in the book since he is questioning the reason why he is there to begin with.
24. I think something my character loves most about themselves would be there endurance both mental and physical.
3. What is happening in my book right now is our three main characters have returned for there 30th anniversary of there West Point graduation. They are currently at a memorial service for the fallen in the West Point cemetery.
6. I would cast Christian Bale as my main character since I feel that his acting skills in pervious roles like the Batman or American psycho proves he has amazing acting skills and can preform a lot of the show not tell monologue that would have to be in a movie about this book.
7. My characters perspective is that of a rural kid from Arkansas whom is learning the woes of military life. I would describe him as patriotic.]]> 2022-02-17 16:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2053595563 Torrey Kanko is reading Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman torreykanko https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2053604488 7. They see it as a huge universe of people who need help with anything like rescuing them or helping their economic system.
4. When I first started, my first impression of Tyler was that he was a demanding jerk. However, now I realize he is only like that to benefit the situation and get things done and help others.
13. I would interview one of the main characters, Kal. He is from a different planet and I don’t know much about his story yet, but it’s obviously a dark one, so I’d like to hear.
5. I would take one of the main protagonists, Auri, to Earth because she never had the chance to see it before she was found in a ship 200 years later. Hopefully the world isn’t changed too much and she’d still get to have some more experience with it before going back to space.
14. I don’t think my protagonist would want to leave the position he just earned, but one of the side characters would probably want to travel back 200 years and go back to earth to see her family once again.
17. One of the main characters Auri would probably go back in time to make sure that she doesn’t get stranded on a ship because she was stuck there for 200 years and didn’t get to see her family, friends, or her home one last time, now she has to readjust to a brand new society in space and with aliens.
2. My character worries about the person he found stuck in space and that he missed the draft to his team because of that.  He was very fearful and anxious while saving this person while he knew that he was missing the draft, even when he was suffocating he was worried more about those two things.
8. I don’t know much about my character yet and there is no antagonist as of yet, but if I were to choose an actor for my character Tyler, I’d have to go with a young cocky Brad Pitt or Leonardo DeCaprio because my character is young, blonde, brave, and full of himself and I feel they would portray it best.
1. The main character in this book, Tyler is a very cocky and perfectionist person, he is at the top of his class but when that was screwed up he basically lost it all because he was being cocky when going on his own personal rescue mission.
24. The main character, Tyler loves being perfect in every which way, it really shows that when one thing got messed up and he has a panic attack while trying to save someone else.
3. Right now in my book, one of the main characters, Tyler is stressing about getting drafted and decides to take a ship into space to get it off his mind when he finds another ship full of dead humans except one who he is trying to save.]]> 2022-02-17 16:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2053604488 Antonio Ruano is reading The Block by Ben Oliver antonioruano1 https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2071824913 7. The antagonist H.A.P.P.Y sees the human race as a computer virus, one that must be cleansed. He views people as just resources for his plan to eliminate 99% of the population and the other 1% are used for his plans to “recreate” the human race.
4. When I started, my first impression of Sam was that she was a resilient ruthless leader with no hesitation to do anything for her own survival. However, now I realize that she does this because she is actually pregnant in the book and so she is really fighting for her baby’s survival in the world more than her own.
13. I would interview Tyco and ask if he really still has a vendetta against Luka even though Luka only killed Tycos brother in self defense. Or if it’s really because of him being controlled in his mind that is really changing his views.
5. I would love to have dinner with Dr. Price. He is a man of science and high intelligence. He invented fake-death which saved the lives of many. He is an old wise guy who loves pasta so I would definitely get something like Olive Garden with him and discuss how he created such complicated inventions.
14. Luka would take his dad who died to a swimming pool. It’s mentioned that pools no longer exist because the world became too polluted to the point of water out in the open is wasteful and would be contaminated fast.
17. A character who would go back in time is Molly, she has constantly said in the book how she would love to go back before Luka was imprisoned or how her mom died just to have a normal childhood.
11. A minor character would be Igby, he just follows orders from Luka or Malachi with no questions asked. Originally he was blind but due to technology the government inserted in him he is slowly gaining his vision back.
2. My character is constantly worried about his friends. He always puts his friends lives over his and currently, he is working his butt off in order to break his friends out of a POW camp which he knows is pure torture for his friends.
6. William Dafoe to play as the antagonist “Happy” as he has such an exciting attitude but yet can still be direct and brutal. Having an attitude like him is perfect for this scenario since our antagonist is already insane.
24. Luka definitely loves the fact that he got fast healing abilities from the experiments done on him, it has helped him in multiple situations at the beginning of the book. He would probably be dead if it wasn’t for these modifications done to his body.]]> 2022-03-01 16:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2071824913 Hadley Stanage is reading Flint by Louis L’Amour hadleystanage https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2076185616 5. I would take the protagonist, Flint to Bos Taurus the steak place downtown because he seems like the type of guy to want a big steak at a nice sit down place.
14. The protagonist would take a vacation to the hole in the wall outside of Texas because no one knows where it is except him and a couple of his old friends, and if he took anyone I feel like he would just take his horse because there is no one he likes in the book.
11. A minor character is the mail man. His view is of flint looking for trouble then gets what is coming to him outside his mailroom in the street when he is beat badly by a group of guys.
2. The main character is worried about the new people in town, they are notorious for the killings they did in bigger cities and he wonders why they got into cattle when he knows they have big money and there isn’t any money in it.
6. I would cast Jon Bernthal as the protagonist because he is very rough and rugged and I feel he would match Flints coldness and swiftness making for a good movie.
1. The main character is Flint. He is a well educated rugged man who used to ranch but now uses his money and education to do whatever he wants since he doesn’t have much time to live.
24. I think the protagonist loves most about himself is his education he uses it through out the book and thinks it’s very important to ones life.
3. Flint is missing and his “student” is south west looking for him and looking for a purpose in life since he doesn’t have long to live.]]> 2022-03-03 16:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2076185616 Brooklyn is reading: “All Fall Down” written by Ally Carter brooklynlane https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2098311728 7.  The way that my character sees things is sorta warped.

When I started, my first impression of Malcolm was that he felt very little remorse for the people he had to kill, but now I realize that he really didn’t want to hurt anyone, he was taught that he needed to in order to succeed.
13. If I had the chance, I would interview Malcolm. I would ask him about what it was like growing up as a Believer and more in depth questions about Believers.
5. If I could take any character to dinner, I would take Kazimir because I want to ask him a lot of questions about being a dragon even if he’s likely to only respond with cryptic answers. I would take him to Miyagi Ramen.
14. I’m not sure where Sarah would go if she could take a vacation anywhere, but I know that she would take her dad and Jason. Sarah would take her dad and Jason because they are the closest people to her that are still alive.
17. If my character could go back in time, she would go back and try to change the relationship between humans and dragons.]]> 2022-04-01 15:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2125640575 Charlie Harris is reading The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness charlieharris1 https://padlet.com/jody_mottern/cptcbgk3dhx2628b/wish/2209117838 7.
