movies

Dr. Katherine Dunne-Katherine Heigl. This woman is a sophisticated and beautiful lawyer. She has just remarried to another lawyer after the unexpected death of her husband who was having and affair when he died on his boat. She has been through a lot but she is still a very attractive woman and is going through hell with her family. I just pictured her on the descriptions in the book.
Carrie Dunne-Lindsay Lohan. These two face some of the same struggles. Carrie is a teen girl struggling with anorexia and needing to be accepted by others. When i pictured Carrie in my head Lindsay is who i saw.
Mark Dunne-Tom Cruise. This is Tom Cruise from when he played in The Outsiders. This boy is a stoner who doesn’t do anything because he is under the impression that he doesn’t want to do anything because it can all end anyways because of his father’s death.
Ernie Dunne-Zach or Cody. The two boys in the show are smart for their age and they are like little know it all. That is what Ernie is like only he is an adult trapped in a child’s body. He has faced too much and is dealing with a lot during this book.
Jake Dunne- Brad Pitt. I would choose Pitt because he has a ruff looking exterior and would fit the physical look of Jake. Jake is Forty four and loves to sail. He is so different from his brother, Stuart, who was married to Katherine. But he has always loved Katherine and when they set sail on the family boat with her family he has high hopes of helping her with her family. From the movie i saw with Pitt in it i think he would be a great match for this rugged sailor.

book

Sail is a bestseller written by James Patterson in 2008. I chose this book because I am obsessed with Patterson’s stories. I love the suspense that keeps you reading, dying to find out what happens next. I have read many books of his and loved them. It all started with the Alex Cross series. It also helps that my grandmother gets them all and gives them too me when she has finished reading them. Inside the flap I read that this is a suspense story of a family trapped at sea when something goes wrong and they are met with many challenges and no hope. Why is there no hope? Because everyone believes they are dead.
