4. Imagine that Maniac Magee is being made into a movie and you have been hired as the casting director.

The famous people that you choose do not HAVE to be actors; they may be athletes, musical artists, etc.
1.If i rated this book on a 5 star scale it would be a 5. I say that because this book has detail and you can picture whats happening in the the book a mental picture.
ReplyDelete1.I would rate 2 stars because i wasn't really liking the book a whole lot because i didn't get how we maniac was teaching a old man how to read and write
ReplyDelete2.yes i would have written the ending the same because he was homeless and had no home so at the end he had a family
3.i think maniac and the beales will live happily ever after
4.i would use Deshawn Jackson for maniac he can run and has hands and for piper and Russel i would use thing 1 and thing 2 because thing i and 2 are crazy like piper and Russel and for hands down i would use randy moss because he has hands
1.If I rated this book on a scale 1-5 i would have picked 5. I say that because this book has a lot of detail. It plants mental pictures in your mind.2.What I think about the ending is that its great but I think it needs to say whats he gonna do for now where is gonna go is he going to leave again.2.2.I would not have written the ending the same way i think its kinda to predictable. I say that because Amanda comes and wants Maniac to go live with her again I think that`s predictable.3.What I think what would happen is that Maniac will live Amanda and her family again. But they will worry about Maniac that he ran away from them and they will give him all the attention and Amanda will be jealous and kick him out.4.I choose Maniac,Amanda and Mars Bars. Dwayne Johnson would play Mars Bars and Johnny Depp would play Maniac and Debby Ryan would play Amanda.
ReplyDelete1. I would rate maniac magee a three out of five star scale because maniac was not me kind of book there were some parts were I couldn't put the book down and some parts I would want to stop reading because it was so boring or sad like when Grayson died! yes I would rate this book a three out of a five!8)
ReplyDelete2.I didn't like the ending in the book as much as some other parts but if i was the author i would change the ending of the book to maniac meeting up wit the beales again and maniac moving back in to their house and them living happily ever after i think that would make the story more interesting
3.I think would would happen next in the book is maniac will find a family and grow up to but a nice little boy get a job and go back to being Jeffery!!! or that's what I wish would happen but I think maniacs is going to get his life together and make something out of it!
4.If maniac magee was turned in to a movie the three character would be Hester, Lester and maniac. Hester's character would be played by willow smith and Lester's character would be played but Jaden smith and maniacs part would be played by Justin Bieber.i choose these because Jaden and willow are actually brothers and sisters so they look alike.
This person did a very nice job keep it up.Good job for explaining
Delete1.I would say that Maniac Magee was a pretty good book so I would give it a 3 because the ending was not as good as I thought it was.I thought it would have a happy ending were he met back up with the Beals again.
ReplyDelete2.If I was the Author of Maniac Magee I personally would have made a happier ending where Maniac met back up with Amanda Beal and the rest of her family and they would have forgiven Maniac for stepping out on them and he would have been able to go back and live with them forever like a family.
3. I think that in the sequel to this book Maniac would keep living his life the way he always had and by accident he might be running at a park and see Hester and Lester playing and want to go back.
4. My characters from the book that I choose are Hester,Lester and Maniac him self. For the Twins Hester and Lester I would choose Willow Smith for Hester and Jaden Smith for Lester. I choose these actors for them because they are really brother and sister and they are pretty close in age to each other so they are the perfect actors for these roles. For Maniac Magee I would choose Justin Bieber because he is short so he would be the perfect role for Maniac Magee. I also decided to choose him because I think that he might have the nice trait just like Maniac.
Awesome Carissa
ReplyDeleteDeshawn Jackson can run he is a good runner
ReplyDelete1. I would rate Maniac Magee a 4 1/2 because the book was very exciting book of predicting what Maniac was going to do next. But at some points of the book it got kind of boring.
ReplyDelete2.I think the ending could have been better because nothing really happened at the end of the book it was a boring part but it fit in so I wouldn't have changed.
3.I think it would be his new life being friends with Mars Bars and Amanda and if he moved out again.
4.My first person would be Maniac and I would have a kid from the sandlot movie to play him because they played baseball. My second person would be Amanda and Salena Gomez would play her.My third person would be Grayson and the person who would play him would be Bob Gibson becuase he is a retired baseball player.
I would give this book a five star rating because it is very intreaging. Maniac Magie has many troubles in this book but he overcomes them and that's why I give it a five star rating.
ReplyDeleteI think the ending was very cheesy because it didn't have any action in it and i love action. I would have wrote it differently by making John Mcnab enter and try to beat up Marsbar and Maniac.
If a part two was wrote for the book I think it would be about Amanda and Maniac getting married and raising kids.
I think Zackary Gordon play Maniac because he did great in diary of a wimpy kid. I would have Snokie play Mrs.Pickwel because she is cool like Mrs.Pickwel. I would have Kim Kardashian play Mrs.Magie because she is not very smart so she gets a tiny part.
1. I would rate this book as a 2 because i really did not like the book because all he did was run to different families and never stay with one until the end. I also rate this book a 2 because in my opinion it was boring.
ReplyDelete2. I thought the ending was good even though i really didnt like the book. I think this because the McNab boys learned that black people were not so bad when Mars saved him and when Maniac is now at a home were he can stay forever. If i was the author i would leave the ending the way it is because i like how everything happened.
3. If there was a sequel to the book i think that it would be about Maniac with the Beales and Black and White people are fighting and they still try to get Maniac out of the East End.
4. If Maniac Magee was a movie i would hire DeSean Jackson as Maniac Magee because hes really fast and skinny like Maniac. I would have Nicki Minaj as Amanda because shes stubborn and doesnt care what people think. I would also pick Chris Brown play as Mars Bars because he is cool and trys to act bad like Mars Bars.
you did very good explaining things and breaking things down
DeleteI agree with your thoughts of DeSean Jackson as Maniac.
DeleteI don't
DeleteWhy? She explained everything and had good explainations for all of the answers.
Delete1. I would rate my book Maniac Magee with Five stars because it is filled with action. An example from the text was when maniac was in a race with Mars and it was amazing.2. I think the ending was perfect for this ending because it had a lot of drama with him running away all the time and when Grayson died.3.I think if there was another ook itb would be were Maniac finds a permanent family and a good home.1. Amanda would be Miranda Cossgrove and Grayson would be Jerry Trainer and one more would be The boy from ant farm as Maniac Magee.
ReplyDelete1.I would rate Maniac Magee a 5 because i liked all of the action like maniac pulling all of those stunts.2.The ending sucked because it didn't have any thing that was funny or has action.No,I wouldn't have written the resolution the same way because the resolution sucked.3.
ReplyDeleteI think that maniac will be a professional athlete and make the beale's rich.Maniac would be rich and famous and live with his own family and have kids.4. Anwar would play maniac magee because he's fast and is good at sports.Megan fox would play Amanda Beale because she's probably sassy like Amanda Beale.Bruno Mars would play Mars Bars because they have almost the same name.
1.I would give Maniac Magee a 4 star rating because mars bars was an enemy with Magee and then for some reason Magee and mars bars became friends that would not really happen.
ReplyDelete2I think the story ending was ok because there wasn't really a happy ending because Magee doesn't really need to live with amanda and she was negative about how dirty he was.I would have left the resolution the same because Magee had great friends to help him out.
3.I think Magee will grow up and help out amanda like a sister and run into john micnab and his brothers.
4.the people I would pick to be in my movie would be Zachary gordon because he did a great job in the diary of a wimpy kid movies and he would be Jeffery magee and I would have Jaden Smith play as Mars Bars since he did awsome in karate kid.
1. i WOULD GIVE THIS BOOK A 4.5.
ReplyDelete2.i think that the end was good.And i would not change it.
3.maniac would probably leave and go see grayson's grave.And tell grayson what's been happening.
Relly Mike why will Maniac go back to Grayson grave.
DeleteIf i rate Maniac Magee to a scale 1 throw 5 it will be 5 because this book is intresting to me and I cant what to part to comes out. What I think about the reading at the end is confusing because Mars Bar was mean to Maniac Magee then comes cool wheath Maniac. What I think Will happen in part to is Maniac is going to come frends wheth Mars. The Justine Tember Lake as Maniac then Chris Browen as Mars. Then Yellow Wolf. Nicke Mange AS Amanda because thay are asome pepole.
ReplyDeletei like what you did you named every thing word for word
Delete1st Q. I would give maniac magee a 5 because the author who wrote the book named magees life step by step and even told us the Little detales of maniac life.
ReplyDelete2nd Q. Yes because they gave maniac a home for good and i think that that was a good thing to do in the story.I think that he had maybe was or new someone that was homeless and got a home and now lives there.
3rd Q. I think that if there was another book would have maniac run away because he always ran away.
4th Q.Ithink a good person would be Justin biever a person for amanda would be tayler swife a person for fingers would be donavan micnabe.
for question 4 why did you pick those people?
Delete1.I would rate it at a 4 out of 5 because the story was short and it just would make it a lot better book if it was longer and explained more.
ReplyDelete2.If i was the author i would change the ending to,Jeffrey moved out of the zoo and instead of living with Amanda he ran away with the Mcnab boys and went to Mexico. I think it would be a lot longer and add more action to the story.
3. If there was a part 2 i would have Jeffrey in Mexico and the police catch him and he goes up for adoption and is adopted by a couple and runs away when they get devorsed and the circle starts again.
4.I think for Jeffrey Mcally calk because he did a very good job in home alone and he would fit his spot well. For Mars Bars i think Michle Jackson as a kid because he was awesome and he would be easy to work with. For Amanda i would chose willow smith because she acts like she is in charge like Amanda
Question #1. On a 5 star scale i would rate Maniac Magee a 4.5 because the story didnt really have a moral to it and hall Maniac did was run to different families and run away from them.
ReplyDeleteQuestion #2. If i were the author I would have changed the ending because with the ending it has it seems unfinished. It seems unfinished to me because the ending doesn't explain what the rest of the family thinks when they see Jeffrey in their house the next day. So, I would have changed the ending.
Question #3. If a sequel or second part was made for Maniac Magee I think it would be about how Maniac loves his new home with the Beales.
Question #4. If i could hire famous people to play in the Maniac Magee movie I would choose Justin Bieber for Maniac Magee because he's a very famous actor/singer. I would have Pauly D as Mars Bar because Mars Bar is very big and strong and so is Pauly D.
1. I would rate this book at a 4 star.
ReplyDelete2.I would have made the ending different because I did not like way it ended.
3. I think that the second part could be maniac magee stays with Amanda for ever.
4.I would make Justin bieber as Grayson and Ryan Dungy as mars bar.
If i would rate Manic Magee i would rate him four because i like some parts then i do not because the part i do not like is that they thought he was dead. So then they ran away from him,.Then the parts i do not like is that they thought he was a zombie because they thought he was dead. T What do I think about the ending is that it is good that is my opinion because he finally got a home and Amanda stud up for him so he wont get in trouble. f IF i was the author yes i would resemble in the same way because it was a good story. IF the part two were written by me i would include him living with Amanda and he grows up being in the west side were the white people are at i think Manic will be popular because he know people that live there now.I will hired DEWAYNE THE ROCK JOHNSON because he is famous and he is a movie star and he played in a lot of movies like his new movie THE JOINERY
ReplyDeleteand Jeremy Mcgrath as maniac magee. I picked these people because all of these people are good at what they do.
ReplyDelete1.I would give this book a 4 because the author didn't really describe the book.And what i mean by this is the author didn't really say any thing about whats going to happen to one main character.Well really any character in the story.
ReplyDelete2.I think the ending was pretty good but what i really thought was going to happen was it was going to be a good ending on a character because the character did something right in the story.If i was an author i would give the ending a good ending why because i would like the ending part of the book good and not bad.
3.What i think would happen is it would have more characters because it would be part two of the book.What i would also think would happen next is maniac magee would now be a better person because at first he was doing things wrong so he was being made fun of.
4.maniac magee , piper , and hester and lester i would pick willow smiith and jaden smith for hester and lester why because there both brothers and sisters and for maniac magee i would choose bow wow because maniac is short just like him.And lastley for piper i would choose olive off of ant farm because they both talk smart.And what i mean by that is they are smart.
Q#1 I would rate Maniac Magee as three and a half stars because I thought it was a okay book for the most part.Also there were good parts like when maniac ran away.
ReplyDeleteQ#2 The ending was good ,but if I wrought the end it would have ended sad or have something bad happen.like someone important die so it would make you cry.
Q#3 I think if there was a part 2 to the book maniac would grow up and have a family of his own . Then maniac will die but maniac's wife would have to take care of there kid all by he self .
Q#4 If there was a movie made and I was the director I would pick Maniac,Grayson ,and Amanda . I would have Adam Sandler as Grayson because I love Adam Sandler .Maniac would be Justin Bieber even though I don't like him. Amanda would be Madison Petis.
I would rate it four stars because most of the book was good but one part and part I like is when Piper thought that the people ate maniac.
ReplyDeleteYes 1.I liked the ending.No I would not change the ending because It was good and it was better than what I can come up with.
2.What I think about a part 2 is it would not not be as good as the first one because I think there is nothing else that could happen.What I think would happen the next book is that they would win a lottery and they become rich. 3.I choose maniac,bully,and mcnabb.The person that should play maniac is a football player from the cowboys.A baseball player from the yankies should play mcnabb cause he plays baseball.A basketball player should play piper because he is fast.
1. I loved the book so i would give it a five out of five. 2.The ending was ok if I were the author I would have said that Maniac lived happily ever after at Amanda Beales house or something like that.
ReplyDelete3.If a sequal came out for this book it should have been about how maniac lives with Amanda and how he grows as an athlete.
4.If i were casting director first thing I would do would hire Chase Utley as Maniac because he is such a good athlete. Second I would hire Riley Bushweller as Mars Bar because they both have cool shoes. And finally for Amanda I would hire Natalie Portman because her and Amanda love to read.
