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.
