  1. Book:The Son Of Neptune
    By:Rick Riordan

    If I could be friends with any of the characters in my book, I would be friends with Percy Jackson. I would be his friend because he never forgets about his friends. Whenever there is a conflict, he never leaves them behind, and he never gives up. If I could slap someone in my story it would be Octavian. Octavian is a pain in my story because when ever Percy talks to him he always blackmails him and Percy cant do anything because he has to earn his rights at the camp.

  2. Book: Fever 1793

    I would want to be friends with Maddy. I would want her to show me how to be the way she is and how to deal with all of the hardships that she went through throughout the book. She is very kind with others, but she can also be brave, strong and she is able to use the things around her to help her through her situations she is put in. I could really see the changes in her, She was first a girl who was always told what to do, but when she had to move out of her house she changed. She became more in control and brave. Even though she was set with those problems she never gave up and faced them, like they were no problem. But i would defiantly be friends with her.

  3. I think that I could be good friends with Dr. Baker. Just because she is very smart and a woman doctor. I think that she was very different like me because instead of doing what the usual woman would do back then, she did what SHE wanted to do, and became a doctor. That reminds me of myself because I like to do stuff that other people don't. Like, during math when we play heads tails, i always look around to see what other people have. If most people have heads, I got tails.

    I would like to slap Jonathon upside the head. :)Even though he ends up marrying Prudence in my story. I would slap him because of the way he was acting around Prudence. He was being a childish pig and it was really rude, so i understand why Prudence wouldn't like him. In my story Prudence ends up marrying Jonathon@!

  4. Book: Winnie's War If I could be friends with anybody i would be friends with Winnie because she is a really understanding, caring, and nice girl and is a great friend to Tillie.
    If I could slap anybody upside the head it would be Tillie in the beginning of the story because she was mad at Winnie for hanging out with her grandpa. I understand why she would be mad about that but she should've gotten over it very quickly instead of dumping her for Lessie Craven, who is not worth it at all.

  5. Book: Alias
    By: J.J. Abrams
    If i could be friends to anybody in this book, i would be friends with Sydney, because she is super nice, understanding, helpful, and she is a great person to be around.
    If i could slap anybody in the head, it would have to be Noah, because he is sometimes rude, and don't let Sydney do the things she got assigned to do, he does them because he told her that she shouldn't be doing this because she don't know how to do it. But now since Sydney had proved him wrong he has been nice to her and telling her that she is welcome to do anything.

  6. Book: Harris and Me
    Author:

    I would be friends with Harris. I would be friends with Harris because I like the country life and food. Harris likes the country life and food so thats why I would be friends with Harris. I also think that he is a good friend. I think that he is a good friend because he helps "Me", (it didn't say his name) out with learning the basics of living out in the country and teaches him that he can eat as much as he wants! This is why I think Harris is a good friend for me. This is also why i picked this question to blog about.

  7. Book: Close to Famous
    Author: Joan Bauer
    I would choose to be friends with Garland because he is 12 or 13, kind to everyone, and has a good sense of humor. He is also into sports, more specifically running, so he could be a good jogging buddy. That's pretty much the icing on the cake for me! If I could slap someone, it would deffinetly be Macon. He takes his job WAY too seriouly, and even though he was nice and took Foster to Miss Charleena's house with him, Macon totally turned on her and kind of took advantage of Foster's generosity.

    If I could be friends with any character that is in my book I would be friends with Katie. she is an adult but she still seems to be a good person with a good and caring heart. She also seems like a fun person to be around, especially when she isnt shy. Another thing is that she has a strong or wise opinion on most thinks that is easy to appriciate.

    If I could choose any character to smack or take any anger out on at all, it would be Katies neigbor. She has good intentions but she is one of those people that you just can not stand to be around. She is loud and rude even when she doesnt know it. To me so far, this neigbor Jo has come off as imature and loves to spend her life covered in all the drama she can find.

  9. If I could be friends with any character in my story it would be Olivia because she stays put up with her homework, gets ahead on it when she can, and makes sur her friends know the assignments and what to do because she cares about them.

    If I could slap any character in my story it would be Mitty because he thinks that even if e doesnt do his homework assignment he wont get kicked out of his class because his parents payed for him to be in it but just because you're parents pay for you to be in a class you dont want to be in, does'nt mean you can take advantage of it and think that they will pay for it again because they will get fed up with you sooner or later !!

  10. The Rescue By Nicholas sparks
    If i could smack one of my characters upside the head it would be the main character Denise because she was driving to fast on the highway then seen a doe it the rode. then she swerved and hit a tree. when she woke up from unconsciousness kyle her 4 year old boy was gone. i think she should have had the commonsense to drive safely with a baby in the back seat.

  13. Book: Twilight
    Author: Stephenie Meyer
    I would be friends with Jacob because him and Bella could always talk openly. They only talked a couple of timesd but when they did they pretty much talked about anything. I just think that is a good qulity to have in a friend being really open with them. I like to talk alot so it would be good to have him as a friend because he knows how to listen. I know this sounds crazy but i would smack Edward. He never lstens to what Bella has to say. He will only listen if he wants to hear her and what she is saying. Like at the end of the book he didn't want to listen to her plan to get away from James, but once he did listen the plan was good. I just don't like it when people don't listen to other peoples ideas.

  14. Book:Slob
    Author:Ellen Potter
    I would be friends with Catlin(Jeremy) because she comes up with really good plans for her group and i like to make schemes with my friend.I would slap Owen because basicly all he cares about is who takes his oreos out of his lunch like absessise over it.

  16. Book: Waiting for Normal
    Author: Leslie Connor

    I would probably want to be Addie. Addie goes through a lot in the book, she has to deal with her dad and her mom divorcing. She also has to deal with her mom and dad both moving on with theirs lives and meeting new people. Another thing that Addie has to face is having the trailer burn down. I feel bad for Addie,but she is a strong 11 year old.

  20. Book: Shift
    Author: Jennifer Bradbury
    If I could be friends with anyone in my book I think I would probably want to be friends with Chris. He seems very nice and smart. But he did leave his friend stranded while the were on a bike trip across the country. which kind of sounds horrible, but I kind of think he had a reason to do it. I wouldn't want to be pushed around by my friend all the time. So I understand why he would just ditch him. Win, his friend, has had too many chances to treat Chris with respect and he hasn't succeeded with that yet. But Win is missing, so when Chris ditched him he hasn't been found since that's happened. If I could ever slap one of the people in my book upside the head, I think it would have to be Win. Even though he's in a lot of trouble and is somewhere in the country missing and yet to be found he's a very bossy and arrogant person. I don't think I'd be able to be friends with someone like Win for such a long amount of time.

    In this book i would be friends with Bernadette because she is very caring person and i know that because even though she didn't now them she let in a homeless mother and her 1 week old baby girl and has been taking care of them ever since that day and hasn't complained about it once. I know it's weird how she can't leave the house and i couldn't do that I still think it's sweet and cool how she is so helpful and caring and polite to everyone even if she don't know them.But also she took in a mother that had a baby but also the mother she brought in is well as she puts it her brain is a broken machine it's on it's just not working how it's supost to so she has been taking care of tboth of them like they were her very own and that's why she would be a good friend

  22. book: twilght
    well i think that i would be friends with either jacob or bella. because both of them seem so real i mean you just can connect with them more easily then you can edward because well... he's a vampire. so you can't really relate to him. but bella is a real girl i think she relates to me more then jacob does but either way jacob or bella would be good friends for me.

  25. Book: Burned
    By: P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

    If I could choose any character in my book to be my friend, it would be Stevie Rae because we have a lot in common. For example: we both love our earth, and we are both very open around our friends. If I could choose one person to slap upside the head it would be Neferet. Neferet is an evil High Priestess, which is like a queen. She tries to kill the main character and her friends many times.

    Author: Mike Lupica

    I will be friends with Danny in my book. Because me and him have a lot of good things in common. Like Me and him have a passion for basketball. How you might say? Will when he didn't want to go to the basketball camp because he was afraid. I would be too because it will be a new environment for me.

  28. Book: Lord of the Flies
    Author: William Golding

    I feel that if I could be friends with someone in my book it would have to be Ralph because he is a leader. When that plane crashed and him plus all those little kids were stranded on that island he took charge. He brought all of them together by blowing a conch shell. Now he is forming a plan woth them to see how they will survive untill they are rescued.I like friends that are good leaders and can get out of bad situations. Also friends that instead of arguing they figure it how and get things done. A person that I would slap would be Jack the choir leader that thinks he is the best singer. I would slap him because of what he said to Ralphs friend. When Ralph said that his friends name was piggy he was the only one that laughed at him and when Piggy said stop he said 'at least its not fatty'. He only said that because he is a little chubby.

    book: Darth paper strikes back
    author: tom angle Berger

    if I had to pick one character to be in my story I would pick the main character telling the story because he gets lot of advice from origami paper (YODA) and he is also trying to get his friend back into school after the recent getting kicked out of school , I think he is a nice person because a lot of people wouldn't help there friends out by going to the school board and protest that there friends need him . so I think it is a really good thing what they are doing.it shows that they really care about there friend and want him back in school.

  30. book: the fall of five

    there is not really one person in my book that I want to be friends with like all of them have there moments when I just want to strangle them but the biggest toughest guy in my book is number 9 and some time I think he awesome but this on time he really freaked me out because he was training with number 8 and number 8 was shape shifted in to a lion and he slashed number 9 on the chest and at first nine was groaning in pain from it but then it turned in to psychotic laughter this is the point when I gust wanted to slap him to bring him back to the real world
