week 6 post B

These chapters have been my favorite so far, from XEnophilus lovegood too Malfoy manner. They show soo much of what the book is getting at, and it reveals so much about the whole story of Harry potter. It xenophilius Lovegood which was an ok chapter, Xeno who is a huggggge harry supporter tricks them into coming in and believing that luna( his daughter) is there. Really luna was captured by voldy and xeno thinks that if he turns harry and his friends in luna will be spared. Too bad harrys a stud and escapes. in The tale of the three brothers, hermoine reads her book beadle and bard and learns about the Deathly hallows which if attained would make someone invincible basically. ( 1 hallow is the wand, 1 is the cloak, and one is the stone that can ressurect people). In the Deathly Hallows they talk about the hallows, and voldys plot, and then HArry says Voldemorts name which is taboo'd which means that the death eaters can track anyone down who says his name. They get caught and are brought to The malfoy manner where they see griphook, olivander and then with the help of dobby they escape, but unfortunately Dobby is killed in the process. oh yeah and they collect like 3 wands that they grab at the Malfoys house. so now they all have wands. i forgot to mention in my old post that hermoine accidently broke harrys wand while escaping one time.

Figurative language
1.He glanced out of the window again. te sky was now tinged with the faintest trace of pink(411)- this is an example of imagery because you can imagine and visualize the color of the sky and what t looks like.
2. Harry waited until they could hear Xenophilius moving about in the kitchen downstairs before speaking(413)- this is an example of imagery because you can imagine the ackward silence that heppened while they waited for him to move, and you can imagine what the walking in the kitchen sounded like from above in the attic.
3.but ron stopped talking, and Harry knew why. The Sneakoscope on the table had lit up and begun to spin; they could hear voices coming nearer and nearer: rough excited voices(445)- this is an easssy example of imagery because if you cant imagine this scene in your head then you have no imagination at all. you can see in your head the sudden stop of talking and them all turning there heads to the sneakoscope which starts up.
Quote
"vol -demorts after the elder wand!"
"The name's taboo!"
this is an important quote because it is when harry accidently says voldemort and remembers that it is taboo. this makes a differance in the book because right after he says Voldemorts name a group of like 12 death eaters show up outside there tent and takes them away to the Malfoy mannor.
Theme
Another theme that pops up in these chapters is forgiveness because harry has to forgive Ron and let him come back and also he has to forgive himself because he IS kinda the reason Dobby is dead.

Week 5 Post B

In these chapters we find out that Grindelwald and Dumbledore were good friends and used to talk to eachother alot. I have heard the rumurs and stilll dont believe them, but just recently the author came out and said that Grindelwald and dumbledore were gay together. I dont like the thought of that because its just weird for me to think about because ive read alll the books thinking hes straight, and then they just tell me hes gay, i dont like that.
I like the next chapter also becasue ron comes back and they destroy the horcrux with the sword. the sword can destroy the horcrux because it is goblin made and when harry killed the monster snake(forget the name of it) in the chamber of secret, the poisen from the snake "impregnated"(the book says) the sword and so it keeps that poisen in it since it is made by goblins. cas goblin shit is sick.

q2 week 5 post a

threadbare(379)- poor and meager
gingerly(386)- with great care and caution


1.Harry got to his feet again and wiped his nose noisily on his sleeve.(378) -this is an example of imagery because i can imagine exactly what that sounds like.
2. He could feel the locket quivering in his grip and was scared of what was coming.(376)- this is an example of imagery because i can visualize this in my head.
3. His eyes were wide and the riddel-harry and he riddle-hermoine were reflected in them, their hair swirling like flames, their eyes shining red, their voices lifeted in an evil duet.(377).- this is also an example of imagery because it appeals to my visual senses and i can imagine what the riddle harry and rddle hermoine look like.

quote(378)- "she's like my sister," he went on. "I love her like a sister and i reckon she feels he same way about me. It's always been like that. I thought you knew."- this is an important quote becasue tthis is a reason why ron left in the first place, and now harrys telling him its not true and ron believes him this time.

Theme_
A new theme that arises in this chapter is to forgive since ron comes back and harry and hermoine have to forgive him for leaving.

q2 week 4 post B

In these chapters alot happens. First in the goblins revenge Ron( harrys bestfriend, and hermoines boyfriend) leaves them becasue he and harry got into a huge argument, which most likely was caused by the increased anger from wearing the horcrux(if you wear the horcrux you get unpatient, angry, etc).
In Godrics hollow and Bathildas's Secret Harry and Hermoine go to Godrics Hollow which is where Harry was born and lived when Voldemort first lost his powers from before even the 1st book. It is also the place where many rescpectable wizard families live, one of them being Bathilda Bagshot, who was a close freind of the Dumbledore family and was probly going to help Harry and Hermoine. When Harry and Hermoine finally find Bathilda she takes them back to her house where she does not speak at all, and she actually tries to split them up so she can talk to Harry alone. Harry and her go upstairs, and then she starts to talk and then Voldemorts snake pops out of her head and has a fight seen with Harry. Harry and Hermoine escape just in time so that Voldemort doesnt kill them.
analysis- "Bathilda" didnt speak at all in front of Hermoine because it was the snake nigini and could only speak parseltougne which only Harry and Voldemort can speak, so NIgini only spoke in front of Harry.

Confunded(296)- ((No Deffinition for the word))

Figurative Language
1."There were several distinct splashes and then the slapping sounds of fish against flesh"(294)- this is imagery because it uses there hearing senses and it appeals to my hearing, but i can also visualize it also.
2." Then he climbed onto his own bed and stared up at the dark canvas roof, listening to the pounding of the rain."(310) this is imagery because it appeals to my hearing and my sight again.
3."The snake struke as he raised his wand: The force of the bite to his forearm sent the wand spinning up toward the ceiling."(340) This is imagery because it appeals to my sight sences because i can imagine exactly what that looked like.

Quote
"He's g-g-gone! Disapparated!"(310) this is an important quote because it is talking about how Ron left the group to go home. He bailed out and he was harry best friend and basically Hermoines boyfriend. he was am important factor in there survival and now he left, so now we have to see if he'll come back or not or what will happen.

Theme
The Theme in these chapters are Friendship, and patience like the other chapters , but then a new theme that arises is Loyalty.

Q2 Week 3 post B

In the chapters Magic is might and The muggle-born registration commision harry ron and Hermoine sneak into the Ministry of magic to try and find the locket that they believe Dolores Umbridge has in her office. What makes these chapters so exciting is that Harry Ron and Hermoine are now the three most wanted people by Lord Voldemort, and Voldy controls the ministry and the ministry is probably the most dangerous place for them to be going. They observe the ministry for some time before they actually go out with there plan to steal the locket, and they each find one person that they are going to impersonate. They go on with there plans and when they get there they notice how much the ministry has changed. But the plans dont go as planned and each one of them gets distracted from what they came to do and are set off to perserve the illusion of who they are pretending to be. For example, Hermoine has to be the judge and quistion a mudblood to see if there magic should be taken away, she has to do this with Umbridge next to her which ends up distracting umbridge long enough for Harry to search her office. The locket ends up being around Umbridges neck and harry and hermoine stun Umbridge and Yaxley and are able to retrieve it and barely escape.

Q2 week3 post A

Vocab.
Obligatory(210)- Mandatory, required as a matter of obligation
Rebuffing(217)- A blunt or abrupt repulse or refusal

Figurative Language

1) "Aware that Hermoine was watching his suspiciously, Harry hurried up the stairs to the hall and then to the first landing, where he dashed into the bathroom and bolted the door again.(232)- This is an example of imagery of how harry was trying to escape the others from knowing that he was about to have another sighting, and how he tried to be secretive with it.

2)" they made their way onto the front step with immense caution: They could see a couple of puffy-eyed Death Eaters watching the house from across the misty square.(236)- this is again an example of imagery because the way that they are leaving the house you can invision it in your mind.

3) "Remus, Remus, come back!" (214) - the tone of this quote is sad and pleading because Hermoine is trying to get remus to stay even after what harry said to him.



Quote
"Id never have believed this," Harry said. "The mas who taught me to fight dementors- a coward."(214)- This is an important quote because Remus is one of the last people on Harrys side and now harry just upset him, and its unfortunate that Remus isnt joining them but i agree with harry that Remus should stay back with Tonks and their kid.

Theme
The theme of the book still remains to be freidship but another theme that shows up is patience and that if you can wait , the right time will show itself.
