Out of all of the books I have read this year, my favorite character would have to be El Gato from the book Keeper. He is a young soccer star, a goal keeper, who is telling the honest story of his life before and during his discovered love of soccer. The book's content is El Gato's interview with Paul Faustino, a sports writer. El Gato is my favorite character because he is truthful and does'nt care what others think about him, he is inspirational. I also enjoyed him as a character because of his love for soccer and his dedication I can relate to the his outlook. He never let things hold him back, he was judged by people he once played with, but moved on and did what was best for him. I have gone through the same.
My least favorite character from the books I've read is President Snow from the Hunger Games series. He was constantly changeing things to get his way, and to always end up on top. He was cocky and could'nt embrace other's acheivements. Just reading about him, and getting a picture of him made me hate his personality. He and others in charge of the Games cuased many people heartbreak and hardships.
I have three more books to read!

Flowers for Algernon
I am currently readin Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It is about a mentally challenged adult man, Charile Gordon, who allows doctors to perform an expeirement on his brain. The doctors believe that hopefully, it will help Chalies brain develop moe quickly than it has been. The book is told from Charlie point of view, in his almost daily "progress reports".
Here are the actors i would include in my cast:
I would have Tom Hanks playthe main character, Charlie Gordon, because he played Forest Gump, and these two characters are similar in a way. They don't understand why certain thing are the way they are, they are soft spoken, and they are both devoted.
Next, i would pick Amy adams to play Alice Kinnian, one of Carlie's teachers. she is determined to help him acheive his goals, she also belives in him. I believe this is appropriate because in the movie, The Fighter, she played a role that motivated and believed in another.
To play Joe Carp, a man Charlie works with who makes fun of him, I would choose Bradely Cooper. I chose him beacause in some movies he is in he is opinioniated, sarcastic, and rude to others.
Finally, to play Dr.Strauss, one of the doctors to perform this expeirement, i would cast Morgan Freeman. He has played several serious and well educated roles. He has many personalities which make him a great actor. I can see him playing Dr.Strauss perfectly.
I only have a few more books until im finished!
