week 6 post A

Vocab
tonic(444)- a medicine that invigorates or strengthens.
hyacinths(438)- a bulbous Mediterranean plant.
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.
