Answer each question below by fully explaining and using specific details from the text for support.
2. What do you think about the ending? If you were the author, would you have written the resolution the same way?
3. What do you think would happen if a sequel or part two of your book were written? Briefly summarize what you think would happen in the next book.
4. Imagine that Hidden Talents is being made into a movie and you have been hired as the casting director. Choose three characters from your book, state which famous person would play each character, and explain why you made each choice. The famous people that you choose do not HAVE to be actors; they may be athletes, musical artists, etc.
1.I would rate hidden talents with six stars because Hidden talents is a type of book that I would read often and if they made a movie out of this book I'll go to the movie theater to see it. But this book is also a suspenseful book and it leaves you curious about what will happen next.
ReplyDelete2.I think that the ending was cool because it talks about how Martin leaves Edgeview and is learning how to control his powers and it also talks about how Cheater,Torchie,Flinch,and Lucky send Martin things. And I would have wrote the ending the same way because the ending is already fine and if I changed it would be
3.I think that if a sequel or part two came out it would be where Martin goes into another alternative school but finds out that this school is the last hope of going to a normal school. But martin meets new friends and his sister Teri goes to the same school with Martin. And what I think will happen in the next book is that Martin and Teri go to a alternative school in which the school has to pass this inspection (like in the first book)but in this inspection there is a rating from 1 to 10 to see if the school will close or stay open but Martin and Teri try to keep the school open. And the school gets a 3.5 and the school gets shut down and Martin and Teri go to a different alternative school.
Delete4.The characters I choose is Martin,Torchie and Principal Davis and the person that will play as Martin is Jadeyn Smith because he could be the best actor of playing as Martin,who I would pick to be Torchie is Zachary Gordon because he would be a perfect Torchie and the person that will play as Principal Davis is Johnny Depp because he would be a perfect principal davis so that is why i chose him.
1. This book would definitely be a 5-star book in my eyes. The whole thing was nearly perfect. The sequence of events were exactly how I would have written it to be suspenseful and entertaining. I never saw it coming when Bloodbath broke Flinch's arm. That was just so out of the blue that I didn't even know how to respond. I only said, "What?" when I read that. The word choices and mixture of figurative language in it was awesome, too. The author really had a wide range of vocabulary.
ReplyDelete2.I think that the ending was perfect and that it really left me hanging, encouraging me to read the sequel, True Talents. With the "Psy Five" or how I guess now "Psy Six" having to split up because they were moving back home, the ending was very emotional. I did like though how the author wrote an epilogue explaining that they still kept in touch with each other.
3. I think that in the sequel the gang will get back together and solve problems like the Justice League. I also think that the group will find other people with psychic powers and let them join their gang.
4. If I were the casting director for Hidden Talents the movie, and I could choose three characters, the three characters I would chose to be an actor in real life are Lip, Martin, and Torchie. The actor that would be Lip would be Justin Bieber. I would choose him because he's short like Lip, and Lip gets beat up by Bloodbath in the end and I would like to see Justin Bieber get beat up because his songs are very annoying and get under my skin. The person that I would choose to be Martin would be the person who played the kid in Dennis the Menace because he's really good at getting people mad in his acting which is Martin's special power, finding people's weaknesses. The person who would play Torchie would be the guy who played The Human Torch in Fantastic Four. I would choose him because he is good at starting fires in the movie like Torchie is in the book.
1.I would rate this book as a 4 star because i think this book could have a little improvement but its still a very good book.
ReplyDelete2.No I wouldn't written the ending the same as the author because i didn't like the ending very much. if i was the the author i would make the ending where bloodbath leaves still and i would aloud torchie,flinch,lucky,trash,cheater and martin would all go home and then they will talk to each other on the phone all the time or write each other.
3.If there was a part two or a new book i would think that Martin sister will go to the bad school which is edgeview and she will have powers because i think that it runs in her family because martin had powers and she could have them to.
4.If i was a cast director i would make drake play martin. Drake is a rapper but i think he would be good for the part i just think he would be good because his voice his great and i like his voice. I also think that jamie fox should play as torchie because he a good actor and he played in a lot of good movies its awesome because he a creative person i just think he right for the part. I also think that martin lawrence is a another good actor he because he funny and he also a great actor.Most people like these celebrities and if they like these celebrities than i could get a lot of ratings and my movie would be a big hit.
The rating i would give it is ****** ( that`s five stars ) because it leaves me wondering.It was great and i wouldn`t change a thing because it was prefect.I think it will be them when they are grown up and they have kids.There kids go to this school and they meet up cause they got into a fight and stuff. Torchie will be Micheal Jackson because he would be prefect.
ReplyDelete1.I would give Hidden Talents a 4 1/2 because it is not what I thought it would be for instance I thought it would have like a kid and his family finding out a hidden talent but it was at an alternative school.
ReplyDelete2.What I think about the ending is that it wasn't that great instead of moving Bloodbath to another school I would of made Bloodbath and Martin friends.
3.If a part two was made I think this would happen martin would be able to still send letters to his friend s he had at the alternative school and then probably they would probably get out of alternative to because if Martin got out then they would get out and have a good life.
4.If Hidden Talents was being made a movie I would pick Torchie ,Flinch,and Martin.I would pick LiL Wayne to play Torchie.Tyler the creator to play Martin and Machine Gun Kelly to play Flinch.I pick them because they are really famous and I would make a lot of money
1 I WOULD GIVE THIS BOOK A 5 STAR RATING BECAUSE THIS BOOK IS MY NEW FAVORIT BOOK BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTRESTING AND FUNNY WITH A DASH OF ACTION
ReplyDelete2 I THINK THE ENDING SHOULD HAVE CHANGED BECASE I THINK THEY ALL SHOULD HAVE GOTING OUT AND BECAME NABIOERS AND THEN END THE STORY LICK THAT
3 I THINK IF THERE WAS A SEQUEL I THINK THAT THEY WOULD GET ANOTHER ROOMMATE AND ALSO BLOOD BATH NIGHT SEEK REVENGENS OF MARTIN BECAUSE OF WHAT MARTIN DID TO HIM(BEAT HIM UP
4 IF HIDDEN TALENTS BECAME A MOVIE I WOULD PICK MARTIN TRASH AND TORCIE AND TOM HANKS WOULD PLAY MARTIN BECAUSE HES THE SMARTIST OF THE THREE AND JOHNNY DEPP WOULD PLAY TORCIE AND WILL SMITH WOULD PLAY TRASH.
How was the story interesting and funny?
DeleteJordan the story was funny and interesting because of there adventure and there friendship between Martin and his friends
DeleteI think "Welcome to Edveiw,Watch us burn"
DeleteThe part that made this book funny was when bloodbath had his shoe tied to the table and fell
DeleteThat part when all the "runts" had their shoes tied to the table was very funny!
DeleteTommy I agree that Justin Beiber should play Lip because it sounds like Justin Bieber inhales helium!
DeleteI agree with david
Delete1. I would rate Hidden talents a 5 because the book was full of suspense and the adventure they were on was totally cool.
ReplyDelete2. The ending was awesome because Martin finally got home and he can still write to his friends. I wouldn't want to change the ending of the book if I were the author because i'm okay with the ending and it's really good. Especially the epilogue which what I like most about the end of the book.
3. If there was a book 2 on Hidden talents then I think it would be about Martin meeting up with Flinch,Lucky,Torchie,Trash,and Cheater and they start a new adventure when bloodbath comes back and bloodbath tries to get them back for what they did in Edgeview school.
4. For Torchie I would choose the guy that played in sky high that threw fire out of his hands because in the book Torchie deals with fire a little bit by making fires with his mind.That guy dealed with fire in the movie sky high so I thought he'd be great!Martin would be Cody from Zach and Cody because zach is troubling like Martin is troubling and I think that Martin and Zach would be a target for ever problem.I think the guy in sky high with the giant head would be great for cheater because with a big head i would think you were smart and he was smart in the movie.Cheater is smart to so i thought he would be good for that movie.
FOR NUMBER 4 THATS PREETY CREATIVE JEPHTHE E
ReplyDelete1. I would rate this book a 3 because it was exciting and interesting but than it was a little boring.
ReplyDelete2. I think the ending could have used a little more detail like what he did when he got home. I would of changed the part where he left the school by him not having to leave the school and staying with his friends.
3. If there was a sequeal of my book i think that i would read it just to find out what would happen. I think if they did write a sequel than i think it would be about how Martin is living now and if hes in another school or if he finally discovered a hidden talent that he had or may have just gotten.
4. If I was the casting director for the movie if they made 1 for hidden talents than i would pick Eminem for the character Torchie because Torchie likes to be silly and joke around and Jim Carey is sorta the same way. For Martin i think i would pick Jonny Depp because he is sorta like a leader in the movies he does so I would pick him cause he is a leader like Martin was in the book. The last person i would pick would be John Ceana for Blood bath because he's tough like blood bath
1. I would give hidden talents a 4 because I like the suspense but i like action and there wasn't much action for me.
ReplyDelete2. I thought the ending was good and happy and if I were the author i would of kept it the same because it was a good happy ending for all of the kids.
3. I think that the book will be a hit because it would be about the Psi 6 would meet and have to use there powers to take a criminal down that hurt one of the kids.
4. The characters I would choose are The gym teacher,Mr.Briggs,and Principal Davis and have John Scina as the principal,Justin timberlake as Mr.Briggs, and Kermet as the gym teacher.
Only a four!!!!!!!!!! (dramatic music) NOOOOOO!!!
Delete1.I would rate hidden talents 5 stars because its a really good book and its interesting.
ReplyDelete2.I think the ending was perfect because i like books like these. So it was enjoyable to me.
3.If there was a sequel i think the team would team up. And get blood bath for messing with kids at the other school.
4.For Martin i would have Rick James. For Torchie i would have Drake. And for Trash i would have M@M.
HaVe A nIcE dAy!!!
I would rate Hidden Talents 5 because it was addicting to read
ReplyDeleteI think the ending was neat because Martin beat up Lester aka bloodbath
I think that if there were a part two I would be the first to read it because part two's are usually better than part one and part one was awsome
If I were to put characters in the story i would have Kevin Heart as Martin,Adele as the Reading teacher,Jaden Smith as Torchie,and those are all the poeple i can think of rite now
Jaden smith is a good actor
Deletewhat do you mean by that
DeleteI would rate this book a five because it is full of suspense and you are always wondering if bloodbaths plan will work or fail.I cannot wait till I get my hands on the sequel...
ReplyDeleteI would not like to change anything about this story because I really like most of the parts. for example when they use their powers to save the school, and the part when they get in a fight and they save themselves from getting busted for their secret.If you want to know that then you will just have to read the story .
yourself.
if there was a sequel to this story I think that martians sister goes to the school and she finds out her power and then martians friends leave the school and they meet up.
1.On a five star scale I would rate the book a 4 because the book doesn't really have a conflict which made the beginning sort of boring. But Part 2 and 3 were the interesting parts of the book.
ReplyDelete2.I think the ending is awesome since Martin gets sent home and that he saved the school from closing. I also think that it is cool that Martin found out his power, even though he uses his power in a bad way.I would not have written the ending the same way because I would want to have all of Martin's get sent home along with Martin because then they could have a sequel where it shows them in public school.
3.If a sequel were to happen I would think that Martin's sister would get sent to the alternative school and find out she has a hidden talent. Also Martin's sister would meet all of Martin's old friends and they would be the ones to discover she had powers and write to Martin about her in this school.
4.I would want David Henry to play Bloodbath because I think that he could portray a bad kid well because he was Harry Potter in the movies which were sort of scary so he can do a scary part very well. For the L.A. teacher I wish I could have picked Mrs.Dobbins but I would pick Selena Gomez because she is a very good actor and it would be funny to see her play the part of the nice and sort of crazy L.A. teacher. Finally for Mr.Briggs I would pick Justin Timberlake because when I was reading the story I pictured Mr. Briggs looking like him so he would be a good actor because he looks like how I pictured Mr.Briggs.
Yeah their wasn't really a conflict at the beginning was their. Wow i didn't even notice
DeleteThanks for attempting to get me a movie contract, Cullen!
Delete1.I think I would rate it as a 4 because it is hard to stop reading it.
ReplyDelete2.I like the ending because they beat up blood bath and he was the bully.
3.If they wrote a second part they should write that blood bath and the other boys will become friends.
4.I would do selena gomez as flinch and lil wayne would be martin and drake would torchie
Don't forget to use text support when you answer these questions!!
Delete1. I would rate this book with five stars because the book grabs you and keeps you hanging and does not let you go until you figure out the answer.
ReplyDelete2. I think the ending was awesome because Bloodbath and the gang had being basically arrested and they had it coming for them. I would have written the book so that all the friends of Martin's friends get to go home.
3. If i wrote the sequal to Hidden talents all of Martin's friends would get to go home and go to like a camp together to control their "Hidden Talents".
4. IfI was the caster for the movie of Hidden talents I would cast Vanessa Hudchens for Martin's mom because Vanessa Hudchens is caring to people and seems to have the same character traits as Martin's mother also she is an amazing actress. To play Martin I would choose Zac Effron because he is groovy and also has the same character traits as Martin does in the book. I would have Ashley Tinsdale to play Martin's sister because in my mind I see Ashley Tinsdale as a caring little sister or older sister when she is acting, also I see martins sister as a blond.
1.) On a scale from one to five. I would rate 'Hidden Talents' a five. I would choose this because this book was very interesting, suspenseful yet very funny at the same time. Also,this book was very addicting.
ReplyDelete2.) The ending of this book was'okay',but I would change it. I would of had everyone (Martin's friends) go home and leave Edgeview,instead of having Martin just leave. But other than that I think the ending was great.
3.) If there was a second part to the book I think that it would be about how everyone left the school because the State closed it. Also,I think that everyone learned how to control their powers and they learned how to put them to good use.
4.) If I were a casting director and I had to choose three people to star as some of the characters in the book I would choose Will Smith play as Principal Davis because both of them look like the type of people who would be in charge a lot. I would have Drake play as Torchie and, I would have Jim Carey play as Martin because both of them seem very laid back and funny.
#1. I would give this book ***** [five stars] because it had a good amount of suspense especially since Mrs. Dobbins had us stop reading right when the book was getting really good. Also this book was very creative and funny because all of the characters were one of a kind I have never read a book with these kinds of characters.
ReplyDelete#2If I were the author I wouldn't have changed this book one bit especially the ending because this ending was so great and funny anything that would change would ruin the story completely. Well in my opinion anyway.
#3. What the next book of hidden talents would be about is if The Psi Five or Physic Six end up trashing the arcade and become arrested and have to break out of a Juvey.
#4 The three people i pick from the story are Lucky, Trash and Martin. The person who would play lucky would be Henry Winkler because I always thought lucky wore a leather jacket like the "Fonz" . The person who would play trash is Wolverine from x-men because he can't control him self and neither can trash sometimes. The person who would play Martin is Adam Sandler because Martin is a person who always figures stuff out at the end, the same with Adam from one of his movies.
Who was your favorite character in the story? Why?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character was Martin because he was the one to find out his friends had powers and to save the school from closing because he talked to the inspectors.
DeleteMy favorite character would be trash.
DeleteIf you were to write a comic book of this story what would it be like
ReplyDeleteIt would be like a action comic.
Delete1. If I were to rate this story on a scale from 1-5 stars I would choose a 5 because I really like this book. I think it's really cool and I love how once you start reading you cant put it down and when you do it leaves you wondering what will happen next
ReplyDelete2. I think the author ended this story just right because I loved it and I couldn't have wrote it any better than he did. If I wrote this story though than I wound have put that all of Martins friends would have gotten out too. Also I would have put that MArtins dad would have been really proud of him for improving his attitude and controlling his anger when he gets mad at people.
3. I would try to be the first person to get the book if a sequel or part 2 came out because I think this book is awesome and ever since I started reading this book I wanted there to be a part 2 because this is one book that I would actually start and finish reading and that doesn't happen a lot.
4. If I were to make this book into a movie I would have Max off of wizards of waverly place to play Torchie because Max seems like the type of person who always start fires. I would choose Jim Carrey to play Flinch because they are both really jumpy at least they seem like they are. Greg off of Diary of a Wimpy kid because I think that would just be funny to watch.
1.I would rate them on a 5 because it was a really good book to me.
ReplyDelete2. I think the ending was good because it had everybody happy and martin got a power too.
3. what would happen is that marten and his buds are going to find bloodbath and they will have to battle him and his buds all over again.
4. If I had to chose which three people they would be trash,touchy, and flinch. The people that would play them is a guy from the raiders,stealers, and Indiana joins.
1.I would rate it with 5 stars because i like the book to where they have those secret or psychic powers and i like how they work with each other to beat up those Edgies.
ReplyDelete2.I do not like the ending because there is not many excitement to it because all they do is get in trouble and they get Bloodbath back so they can get revenge. I would have of written like to where they have started to have some fun with there powers and they play jokes on each other to have fun.
3.The thing that would probably happen is that they get older and like they would have to control them in public so that no one will get hurt and so no one else will not know what kind of powers they would have and they would probably tell everybody.
4.The characters that I would pick is Martin, Cheater, and Flinch and the famous acters that will play them are Adam Sandler, Will Smith, and Jack Black because I would want it to be a comedy so people would probably go see it because everybody likes comedy and for comedy I could watch it all day so I will probably enjoy it to.
1.) I would give this book 5stars because it is addicting to read and it leaves you wondering.
ReplyDelete2.)I think the ending was great because it was cool and all knowing that Martin kicked the...er...well I don`t think Bloodbath has anything in him.
3.) I`ve actually seen what is supposed to happen thanks to Noah M. and basiclly while Trash practices his power in a bank he accidently takes like $10,000 and later gets abducted by some dude who is researching psycic powers.
4.) My choices
Flinch-Eddie Murphy because he is pretty funny.
Cheater-Jackie Chan because he is like a kungfoo actor
Bloodbath-Arnold Schwartaneger because he is ripped
Trash-Brad Pitt just because
Torchie-Kelsy Grammer because it seems cool that Frasier can light stuff on fire
Lucky-George Clooney
Martin-Jimmy Fallon
Also Justin Beiber would play Lip
Delete1.I rate hidden talents 5 stars because i think the book was great how a bunch of kids who have a bunch of cool abilities.
ReplyDelete2.I think the ending was great.I would keep the ending the same because I think it was cool that just one kid had to say the truth about the school and say what needed to be changed and it changed.
3.I think the part two would be how Martin lived the rest of his life with his power and his friends might see him or something and hang out and at one point Martins parents might figure out his friends power since they hang out together.
4.The three people I choose is Martin , Flinch, and Trash.The person that will play as Martin is Adam Sandler , the person that will play as Flinch is Ashton Kutcher , and the person that will play as Trash is Arnold Swazternegger.
I agree with you Mason about Adam Sandler because when they describe him it sounds like Adam Sandler
DeleteIf you were in martin's spot at the talk with the inspectors which would you chose, get rid of the school or do what martin did and help the school?
ReplyDelete1. I would rate Hidden talents as a five stare book because the book told things you wouldn't think of would happen and the book was also funny and action packed so that is why I would pick this book as a five star book because this book is just like an edictive
ReplyDeleteI think the ending was great just like the rest of the book. If I was the author I would change the ending to the groups
1. If I were to rate the book Hidden Talent on a five star scale. I would rate it five stars,I really liked this book a lot, because the author is very descriptive and he uses a lot of figurative language to keep you interested while reading until you finsih the whole book. I definetly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read books that keep you on the edge of your seat.
ReplyDelete2. If I was the author I would keep the ending as it was written, because I like how Martin thought about all of his mistakes that he made,that he learned how to use his power for good and that he still stays friends with the friends that he met at Edgeview.
3. I think that if they were a sequal or part two of this book. I think Martin's friends would be released from Edgeview and they would meet up and go to Martin's school that he attends now.
4. If Hidden Talents were made into a movie I think the character would be......
Martin- David Henry
Cheater-Jackie Chan
Blood Bath-Eminem
torchie-Johnny Depp
I picked these actors because, these actors remind me of how the characters would look and act like.
1. I would rate it a 4 because the very beginning was boring but then the story got better once you learned the powers.
ReplyDelete2. I thought that the ending was good because there was suspense and there were surprises. The author might but something like they whispered a plan but it doesn't actually tell you the plan. P.S.I wouldn't change the ending.
3. I read the sequel and to not give it away I won't put the main plot. Trash gets abducted by a used to be government facility and coincidentally all of his friends go to Philadelphia at the exact same time.
4. This is a difficult question because I am not good with remembering actors names I can only remember the Disney characters. I'll say as Martin the actor would be Noah Mills because he can be very nice and comes up with good strategies and is a leader etc. Like Martin how he'd get into a delinquent school I don't know.
I'd pick Tommy Pomato as cheater with a lot of make-up it would work. I picked him because his head is full of random facts like if you ask him whats the name of a figure with 20 sided he'll respond a dodo-decagon, and if you ask him if your spit would freeze before it touched the ground in Antarctica he'd say yes. He specializes in random knowledge (not as much as me but some).
Last I'd pick Johnie Depp as Torchie only because we would need some kind of peace in the horrible or maybe okay acting of me and Tommy. Plus he kinds of fits the character just a teeny tiny little bit.
