Rowling is back at it again, this time with a chamber!

1st Quarter Outside reading book review

Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, J.K Rowling, Warner Bros. Ent. 1999, Fiction

Harry potter is back in school again for his second year of training to become a full fleged wizard. After going face to face with Voldemort his first year of school Harry doesn’t know what kind of adventures hell get into this year. But there is a problem and harry and Ron cant get onto platform 9 ¾. It was an emergency so they flew Mr. Wesley flying car to Hogwarts. Before they could land the car goes hay wire and they land on the whooping willow. They get caught by Snape and are taken down to his office. They get yelled at but narrowly escape getting detention. When its all over they are sent back up to there dorms. On there way up Harry hears a strange voice from an invisible person. Harry goes about the next half of the year without any problem. Then the janitors cat Mrs. Norris is attacked and harry knows something isn’t right. Above the cat on the wall it says that the chamber was opened by the heir of slytherin. Harry Ron and Hermione are convinced that the hair is malfoy. So they do some things to try and uncover the mystery. If you want to know who the hair is you’ll have to read Harry potter and the chamber of secrets

Harry must put his life in danger to save others who are important to him”- A customer (On amazon)

I really liked this book by Rowling. Its an Adventure and I couldn’t put it down for a second. I am epically looking forward to reading the rest of the series and see how our characters develop through there time at Hogwarts. I would recommend this book to any one regardless of how much they like to read or there style of book type.

But Hermiones eyes narrowed dangerously again, and he added swiftly, “But its the best plan we got so full steam ahead” (P.g 118)

I can really connect with this book because, just like harry sometimes I think its hard living with your parents but in the end you always end up forgiving or forgetting just like harry does in not just this book but hopefully the rest of the series.

Adjectives of Melinda

Speak reading quiz
 
Words: Misunderstood
      Isolated
      Distant
      Resentful
      Deserted


Misunderstood- I chose this word because i think melinda is missunderstood. She dosent have anybody to talk to and anybody she try to talk to just pushes her away. They dont even give her a chance.


Isolated- I think melinda is isolated because she has no good friends and her parents arnt there to talk with her. so she must fell very alone and scared.


Distant- I also think melinda is distant because she doesn't really try to make friends the whole year. She just sticks with heather until she ditches her. Then once she's alone she still stays all by herself and doesn't really try to make more friends.


Resentful- I think melinda is resentful at Andy evans for what he did to her. Not only did he hurt her he also made her freshman year the worst it could possibly be. He denied her friends and even her peace of mind.


Deserted- Lastly i think melinda is deserted because after that party all her friends just left her to die. They didn't want to know why she called the cops or what had happened. They just left her and didn't think about it again.


I think the best word i came up with to describe melinda was Resentful. This is the best word because it is exactly how she feels towards Andy evans for what he did to her. He completely ruined her freshman year and maybe the rest of her life. She also must feel resentful towards her friends for completely abandoning her when she probably needed them the most.
