The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Carrie Ryan
RUN! Zombies Attack The City!
The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a post apocalyptic novel written by The New York Times Bestselling Author Carrie Ryan. This book takes place in The Forest of Hands and Teeth, well most of it. A few chapters take place in the village which apparently is just known as ‘’the village’’ since it is the last village on Earth. This book follows the story of a teenage girl named Mary. Her mother once told her that there is life beyond the deadly forest, that there is Ocean. Then her mother gets too close to the forest’s fence and turns into a deadly zombie! Throughout the book Mary tires to find the Ocean that her mother keeps talking about. Mary escapes her village and travels through the deadly Forest to find the Ocean. Through this journey she loses some of the people she loves including her brother. She also finds out that Harry didn't come with her on purpose. She started to question if she loved him anymore. Mary decides that she is going to find this Ocean by herself and she does. At the last chapter of the book, Mary wakes up in the Ocean.
Mary (Jenifer Lawrence)
I think that Jenifer Lawrence would portray Mary if this book was being turned into a movie because they both have similar character traits. Mary life was just ordinary until she decided to do something with it and find answers and she life changed just like that. Jenifer had the same thing happen to her. She took a big risk and now she is famous and her life is changed forever. They both made a big decision because they wanted to do something important with their lives. Both of them wanted to help people. Jenifer did that with movies and Mary did that by trying to help her people. They are both very strong women and that is why I picked Jenifer Lawrence to portray Mary if The Forest of Hands and Teeth was being made into a movie.
Travis (Chris Pine)
I think that Chris Pine would be a great Travis if this book was being made into a movie. Travis is a person who is willing to do whatever it takes to make someone happy. In the book, Travis’s brother, Harry loved Mary. Travis did not want to cause a conflict so he married Cass instead who is Mary’s best friend. This is something he did for his brother from the bottom of his heart. Chris Pine and Travis I think share the same kind of personality. They may act brave and make hard decisions but in real life they are both really sensitive people and do whatever it takes to make their family happy. I know that if Chris was in this situation he would do the same thing for his brother. I know this because he is in a way like Travis in human form and although they may not share the same interests they both have one similar character trait.
Harry (Liam Hemsworth)
I think that Liam Hemsworth would be great for the role of Harry if The Forest of Hands and Teeth is going to be made into a movie. Harry is a character who doesn’t know what he want especially when it comes to women. Harry loved Mary at the being of the book and got engaged to her but in reality he really like Cass as well. So he is not very good at making decisions when it comes to love. I mean his brother married Cass because he thought that Harry loved Mary but did he know that Harry couldn’t make up his mind on who he loved after he was engaged. The same thing goes for Liam. He got engaged to Miley Cyrus and then a day before their wedding he called it off. People think this is because he was caught hanging out with another girl. So in my opinion, I think that both of these characters cannot make up their mind on who they love and sometimes they don’t think of the choices they are making.
Kelly and John's Duet Shares a Powerful Message of Not Giving Up
''Run, Run, Run'' Kelly Clarkson ft. John Legend
The song that I picked that related to The Forest of Hands and Teeth is ''Run, Run, Run'' by Kelly Clarkson and John Legend. I think that the message of this song is about love and to keep trying to find that certain something that you are looking for. I can relate some of the lines sung in this song to the authors message. For example the chorus when both Kelly and John are singing Run, Run, Run, I think it relates to the authors message because the message of the story is to never give up and to find that one thing that you are looking for, and even if there are some rough times even if you ‘’ fall through faith’’ you just have to get back up ‘’But we rise and rise again’’ and keep searching. In conclusion, the authors message of the book and the message of the song both relate.
Lyrics
[Kelly Clarkson]
I wonder how your body tastes,
Inside of someone else's place,
Pull away your eyes,
There's nothing left to hear,
I'm alone, but I know everything you fear
And you waited on the rain,
Their tears my heart is caged,
And we fall through faith,
But we rise and rise again.
And I run, run, run, run, run,
And I run, run, run, run, run,
I run, run, run, run, run,
I just run run run
[John Legend]
Tell me how you close the door,
No one, nobody can love you more,
[Both]
Telling all your friends that this love is just made for bleeding,
And upon new road I have started keep on, try to breath in.
And you waited on the rain,
Their tears my heart is caged,
And we fall through faith,
But we rise and rise again.
And I run, run, run, run, run,
And I run, run, run, run, run,
I run, run, run, run, run,
I just run run run.
