Harry Potter and I have our similar while we are as well different do to the easily seen reasons. One similarities between Harry and I is that we are both 12-13 he is 13 while I am 12, but it will be my birthday in less than a month. We both live with our families while of course my family doesn't make be sleep in a small room, they care about me, and make me hide my talents. While a difference between Harry and me is that I live with my mom, dad, and sister while he lives with his uncle, aunt and cousin. Another difference between Harry and I is that he lives in the U.K while I live in America.

Harry Potter is a 13 year old boy that lives in the U.K. He has two best friend Hermione and Ron. He goes to a school for wizards and witches that is called Hogwarts, where the students learn how to harness their powers. He is in the group Gryffindor which is one out of four Slytherin,Hufflepuff,and Ravenclaw. He is usually happy at school except when Draco Malfoy taunts him or when he has to go to professor Snape's class. (Professor Snape insults him and treats him poorly in class) He is very brave having fought Voldemort in his first year and a younger verse of Voldemort which is Tom Riddle. While in the book he seems to have one fear thing and that is Dementors.

I would like to meet Hermione Granger because I find that Hermione and me are very similar. My first question would be how is she able take to the stress that comes with taking so many classes? My second question would be at what age did she start studying magic, s she has a vast knowledge of this? My third question would be how did studying magic impact her life and the way she acts with other she cared for? My fourth question is when did she find that she was a witch and how did her parents react do to the fact that she was witch do to the fact they are muggles.

The last time a did something of the first time.

         

            A few day ago one of the mom that bring her kids to my mom's daycare asked my mom if we be okay with taking her kid's guinea pig. Mom agreed with the mom and the next she brought the guinea pig. At this time I did not notice until the day she brought the guinea pig it was big surprise for me. This was the first time that I had got a guinea pig as a pet and I was excited.  The guinea pig was a female the original owner had named her Princess. I have yet to change the name do to the fact that my sister likes the name and I have not been able to come up with anything better.


             Princess is two years old at the time that I am writing this blog and most guinea pig live to be 4-5 year old if the proper care is given.  Her fur is tow different colors the middle of her body is white while her back and face is black, her face has a white line running down the middle between her eyes.. She is very shy she hides in her "igloo" and she also jumps up when you try to pick her up.  She is is about 8-12 inches long and weighs about a pound or two.  Since Guinea pigs are so big they need to eat 3 times a day they are mainly vegetables and fruits.


            I feed her different times of vegetables mainly lettuce, tomatoes, and celery.  Every week I have to change the material that cover the her cages so that she can go to the bather room. She is very clean she has one area were she sleeps and one are were she does her business.  She does not drink a lot of water  I don't know if that is normal. She likes to run inside of her "igloo" in circles that is a way for her to get the exercise she need to stay health so that she can live longer.

Defend your opinion.

pages: 0-60




       I believe that most characters are believe with the exception of few that I have not read up to.   I believe that Harry is some what in the of believable and unbelievable area the character himself can is realistic someone that lives with his aunt and uncle that is not cared for and likes to go to school. While at the same time it unbelievable that he is wizard, that he is hate by a man that has killed his parents but survived do to the fact his mom but a spell on him. His uncle Vernon is believable because hating people, being mean and beings overweight being to become more common  of being human. Dudley is overweight, spoiled, and hates Harry this is something that happens with kids now a days.

   
   Something that was believable was that Harry is unwanted by his uncle, aunt, and cousins because this happens often in real life. While one thing that is unbelievable is that Harry was able to inflate his  aunt. Another thing that was unbelievable was that their is a bus that can go hundreds of miles and hour while not crashing into cars.  Harry liking to go to school is one thing that was believable do to the fact that many kids do like to go to school. There being a secret town in London is unbelievable because there are many satellite that see most of the earth and heat scanner that can see heat throughout objects



   I have enjoyed it do the fact that is well written the tone is calm and nice while it can turn with a snap of a finger to sad and angry. Another reasoning that I like this book because it takes you to a new world filled with wonder and "magic" that most author don't try to deal with.  The author also writes the character development so well you can see how they have grown over time.  The way that you are able to connect with the characters do to the fact that under the fact that they can use magic they are just regular kids having a good time with each other.  The fact that there is a deranged killer out to get Harry shows that he is not save no matter were he is which gives a greater element to the book.

 

   

Mocking Jay 12/8

Pages 154-234
Prompts: 1.)After reading, I wonder… 2.)   3.)• If you could talk to the author, what questions would you ask? Why?



     After reading, I wonder what would have happened if Katniss had died in the Hunger Games would they have still gone with the plans of the revolution would they have found a new Mocking Jay.  I wonder what would have happened if Katniss had not volunteered for her sister Prim. I wonder what would President Snow have done if he had not captured Petta would they have found away to control Katniss.  I wonder would of have happen if Haymitch would not be a drunk. I wonder what would have happened if Katniss never became friends with Petta.


     A bow and arrow stand for strength, balance and patients that is need to fight in a war. A camera to show the shooting of film,  angles and perspective of the many different sides of a war whether you are no the side of the good or the bad side.  Blood of a soldier that is fighting out of courage, for justice, and wanting to protect those they love. Land to show were the war takes place, the place were people live, and were the hundreds of soldiers lose their lives.


    If the author was here I would ask her why she decided that district 12 had to get bombed. I would ask her why she made it so that district 13 would be underground. I would ask her how did she come up with the idea of the Hunger Games did she see a movie or something that.  Where did see come up with the name of the characters I would ask her.  My final question would be are the district based on the colonies during the Revolutionary.

Mocking Jay 12/1/14

Pages 54-154
Prompt: Describe what was either believable or unbelievable about your reading.
Defend your opinion

       Something that is believable in the Mocking Jay book is that people want a revolution to happen because it has happened before in the past like when the 13 colonies fought the revolutionary war. Another thing that is believable is that a area would be bombed this has happened before an example of this is many years ago when a city in Russia was nuked and now no can lived their for many years. While something that is not believable is that someone would put in an arena to kill other with futurist weapons so the government does not fall apart because the government relays more on document the death. Another thing that is believable that they people that are in the war will do what they need to get allies.




       I believe that the revolution in the book is the same as the American Revolution. I piece of evidence is that there are 13 district and in the American Revolution there were 13 colonies which is one similarities. Another similarity is that there is one government that separates itself that is much richer than the rest.  Also this government does something that pushes the colonist/district over the edge to wanting to be free. This smaller group of people want a revolution to happen but at first they don't all get along but eventually they start to join together.  Both government want to start a republic so that decision are equal and fair.



     The major conflict is that President Snow is being oppressive to the district and district 13 is trying to start a revolution so that they can be free. I am on district 13 sides because they are fighting for a good cause so that they can be free. Another reason that I am on district 13's side is because they helped district 12 when they were bombed so that they could have a home. A reason that also persuades me to district 13 side because President Snow captured victors from the games and tortured them.  The final reason that I am on district 13' sides is because the capital send kids to kill each other.
