Enders Shadow, Orson Scott Card
In my book I would like to hang out with the charecter of Bean, because he is an abnormally smart kid. It would be fun to talk to someone who has you constantly on your feet in order to keep your self from getting embarassed. I also would like to see if I could even understand the things he would have to talk about. He is also abnormally small and young and it would be funny to see him doing things that normal kids do. Another reason I chose Bean is because I would feal overwhelemed hanging out with Ender who saved the Earth from an alien invasion. Overall I would enjoy hanging out with Bean, he is very bright, smart and always has something interesting to talk about.

Goal 2 Living the Dream, by Robert Rigby
In my book I would like to hang out with the character of Santiago Munez because we could play soccer together. Santiago and I would get along quite well, we could share stories about soccer and he could give me a spin in his Lamborghini my favorite cars. He could take me to the Real Madrid team for autographs and such and may even let me practice with them for fun. I would love to hang out with Santiago he could take me back to his apartment and we could play the soccer video games he plays constantly. I love this book because Santiago relates to me in so many ways he does what I do, except meet David Beckham but I dont want to. We are so alike Santiago and I we are like brothers, both spanish and a dream to play the beautiful game that he fulfilled now it's my turn. These are the reasons I would "LOVE" to hang out with Santiago Munez.

The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick
In my book I would not like to hang out with the character of Spaz because he lives in the urban. He is very use to the style of life where you are alert for someone about to rob you or zap you or come to "deactivate" you. I wouldn’t want to hang out with him because he would be too stressed out for all of these things. That is why I would not like to hang out with the character of Spaz

The Truth about forever, Sarah Dessen
In my book I would not like to hang out with the character of Jason because he is alwyas up tight. He is known for being perfect at everything he does. If i was to hang out with him i would become extremly self conscious beacuse i am deffinetly not perfect at everything. Jason also needs a schedule and time for everything. I am the totall opposite of that i like things to go with the flow. I belive that everything happens for a reason. So if every hour of my days was planned i could never handle that. I would like to hang out with Macy though. She is completly different. She is down to earth and just seems so relaxed and confident. I think that is why they are in love beacuse they are so different they are completing eachother.

The Lovely Bones, By: Alice Seabold
In my book I would like to hang out with the character Susie, because she was a girl with a lot of knowledge and creativity. Although decisions that she made weren’t smart, when she is in heaven she takes the information that she did wrong, and corrects her mistakes. Susie is having an awesome time in heaven. Her heaven is said to be perfect, with all the things she loves, dogs, boys, books, chocolate ice cream, music, and teenage magazines. Although I would always choose to be alive than deceased, her heaven was drama free, exciting, and a place where everyone was equal and extraordinary. Being in a place where peace is the first priority makes you feel comforted. I would love to have a place like the one that Susie had, on earth though!

Splinter Cell "Checkmate" by David Michaels
In my book i would like to hang out with the character of Sam Fisher because of all the cool and daring things, from being in intense gun skirmishes, to jumping out of planes almost everything this guy does is amazing. It would be so cool to here about all the dangerous missions he been on. I dont think he would ever have the time to hang out with other perople because he is constantly working. I am here if he ever has free time.
I would not like to hang out with the character of Doc Daneeka because i think he is insane. Not just me but most of his army buddies think so too especially Yossarion. I'm sure Doc Daneeka isn't insane in the sense he is going to kill everyone but the stories he tells are awkward for instance the one of his corrupt medical practice in Staten Island. He just seems to weird to be seen with. Yossarion even asks Doc Daneeka if he could be grounded for being insane and he replies yes.

I would ask him a lot of questions about being in and the spotlight and living in his cousin's shadow. I would give my opinion about what he should do with his life. i would also ask him questions about what he plans to do in the future. I would maybe even play some one on one with the legend from Coney Island.

Red Kayak By Priscilla Cummings
In my book I would like to hang out with the character Brandy of The Red Kayak because I feel sorry for him because he blames himself for the death of little Ben. There was no way it was any of his fault. The reason I would like to hang out with him is because he has a boat and loves the water just like how I do. I could see the two of us getting up real early to go out on the boat and go wakeboarding. Brandy describes how calm the water is. I could see myself wakeboarding behind Brandy’s boat. I would be a good friend to Brandy and help him get over the incident that he had absolutely no control over.

Double Play
In my book I would like to hang out with the character of Joesph Burke, because he was a cool military man and was a personal body guard for Jackie Robinson (in the book). He would be able to show me his gun and get to see Jackie. He sounds like a very intersting man, and I would like to know his opinion on working for such a legendary baseball player. I would also like to know how much pressure he is under protecting him.

In my book I would not like to hang out with the character of Trixie because shes always getting in trouble. Shes always finding some way to put herself in a sticky sitution. I wouldn't want to be putting myself in that place. Even though she has alot of things going on with her life, I couldn't handle being around it. Her sitution with her parents and exboyfriend make me depressed.
Gary watson
In my book I would like to hang out with the character Jack Sparow. I would like to hang out with him because he is really funny and adventurous. If we hung out we would probably go on boat rides, fight other pirates and drink some rum. I would also like to hang out with William Turner. Wil is also very adventurous and is very skilled in sword fighting. If we got into a fight with other pirates we would most likely defeat them. This is why i would like to hang out with these characters.

Descending Darkness
By: Harry Turtledove
In my book I would like to hang out with the character of my book, because he has a really cool job. He is a dragon flier, and he fights in many battles. His job sounds dangerous and exciting. I would want to fly a dragon if he let me. It sounds very hard and dangerous from his descriptions in the book. He said that if a dragon gets too excited during a battle it could turn around and flame you right off its back. He describes this as a dragons’ ultimate sin, because they are trained to listen to their flier.

Trigger, Susan Vaught
In my book, Trigger, I would like to hang out with the character Jersey, because he has good life experiances. His life was almost taken from him, because of something that he did, but he was allowded another chance. He realizes now, how important life really is, and to cherish every single breath, which not most people do. Basically, I think that Jersey would be a good person to learn from, and also he doesn't have many friends since their parents think Jersey is some kind of bad influence. He really needs a friend, and I think he could really teach people a think or two.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
In my book I would like to hang out with the character Bridget. This is because Bridget is the more athletic girl out of their group. If Bridget and I had the change to hang out I think that we could have a good conversation about sports and activities. She is also courageous and confident. Bridget enjoys and is good at making friends, just like me. These are some reasons why I would enjoy hanging out with this character.

In my book I would like to hang out with the character of Luke, because he is very fun and adventurous he teaches everyone a lot of things about bravery. He helps many people conquer their fears of the outdoors and some even of the indoors. Many of the kids that Luke deals with are illegal and have to stay in hiding and have very big fear of open areas. Also I wouldn’t want to hang out with any of the other characters because they are very boring and are afraid to do anything. So it really narrows down my picks to 3-4.

I would also not want to hang out with him because he is not allowed to leave Captain Nemo's ship as long as he lives. So I would have to come in the submarine to hang out with him, that is why I would not want to hang out with Professor Arronax.
