Analysis

In the last chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it is 19 years after Harry had defeated Voldemort and him, Ron, and Hermione have all grown up and have children, their children also go to Hogwarts now as well. "Two large cages rattled on the top of the laden trolleys the parents were pushing; the owls inside them hooted indignantly, and the redhead girl trailed tearfully behind her brothers, clutching her fathers arm." (Rowling 502) I infer that Harry's children will do great things just like he did and that they too will help the witch and wizard community very much. Like saving the school from death eaters attacking everyone, or helping the head master with many tasks. "Don't duel anyone till you've learned how." (Rowling 605)

Does anyone else think that the school should have given us a day off on Friday because we may or most likely will stay out late, plus no school is AWESOME, too bad they never do give us a day off. Happy Halloween!! >;)

Theme and Summary

For my theme and summary post i am going to do it one the other book i have been reading other than Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because i have not done any posts on it so far. The other book i am reading is the seventh book of the Harry Potter series called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The theme of this book i think is, go after what you believe is right to do not what others think you should do. This theme as changed really quite a bit throughout the book because the main characters Harry, Ron, and Hermione are constantly battling what each of them think they should do to fight or destroy Voldemort. I couldnt really understand or find the theme in the book until i got to almost or really the end of the book, which i guess there were little themes that were spread out here and there in some of the chapters that i did not think would be the theme. It came to me when Harry was going up to Voldemort and forgot what everyone was telling him to do and just thought what he should do, and he did exactly what Harry potter would do, not listen to what anyone says and follow your gut.


In the Deathly Hallows so far Harry, Ron ,and Hermione have ran away from their home to find a way to kill Voldemort, many many days of looking through books and different cities they found what they have to do to kill him. What they have to do is they must find and destroy seven horcruxes. If you don't know what a horcrux is here is an article to help you out http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Horcrux. Now finding these things are not easy because each one could be anywhere and once you find and destroy one you have to start over with the next one and so on, they have destroyed already 6 out of the 7 horcruxes. Right now they are stuck trying to find the seventh one but they don't know it is right under their noses, and the horcrux is... in the book which you are going to have to read to find out what happens with the last horcrux.

Does anyone think back to that first day of school and think, wow why was i so scared and nervous to go to this school. I know i do. I realized that this school isn't actually as big as it seems and it is pretty easy to get around to all of your classes once you have the general idea down. The food is way better than the middle school i think, and the school in general is a lot better then the middle school. Who else thinks this way about Mason High School?

characters

One complex character is Elizabeth who i talk quite a bit about because that is who the story mainly revolves around, which really she makes the theme or kind of molds it from what it already is. In the beginning of the story she was very shy and kept to herself most or really all of the time, but now i am almost done with the book and Elizabeth now is very outspoken and a kind of person who can't be quiet just for a second. Elizabeth constantly interacts with other characters in the book but not in a way most people would, in fact the only way she would really interact with them is if she was kicking them in the face or taking them into custody, which then is when she would say her name and sarcastically talk about herself and also if she is talking to a character who was in the holding room to be questioned about the case. so lets just say Elizabeth is not a very friendly person.

Exit slip: Girl with the dragon tattoo

The mood of my book is exciting because Elizabeth and her partner always get into trouble when on the job or when they have found a new lead on the case that involves going to other countries. Like the time when They had talked the dad of the girl who died and he was telling them everything he knew about the killer or killers. "All i know is that other than my daughter being kill there were also several other murders... but what i found was odd was that all the people who were killed all are Jewish." (Larson 103).

A moment in my book when Elizabeth swayed the beliefs of another character is when the FBI had given her a partner she had persuaded them to not give her a partner in solving the crime for a little while until they came to their senses and realized that was a bad idea. Her tone impacted this because her tone was forceful so when she was telling the officers to let her go do this case on her own she used threats to get her way, like saying she would quit or not do the case at all, and they NEEDED her on this case.

So on the news i have heard that a deadly disease in the lakes and rivers of Florida. They said that so far it has killed over 20 people and they don't know how to stop it, if were you i would not want to go to a lake in Florida anytime soon. The scientists in Florida have said that it is a brain killing amoeba which just means that it is single celled and once in your system it goes straight to your brain and when you have a problem in your brain the outcome normally isn't good. The people who got this amoeba died within ten days of getting it. So don't swim in rivers and lakes in Florida!

Book Recommendation

If you like action, mystery, or any type of book than this is the one for you. This book has absolutely everything in it, what every type of book genre you like this book mast  likely has it. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars rating although this book is one of the best i have ever read there are some parts which can be confusing or a bit boring to some. Don't even get me started on the amount of vivid descriptions and amazing syntax/word choice i mean it feels like you are standing there watching everything happen right in front of you, because of this it gets you so hooked on not wanting to stop reading it just to see what come next. So the main Character is a girl from Russia and was recruited to the FBI because she was the best cop in Russia. She doesn't have a name so they gave her one now her name is Elizabeth, she is helping solve a murder case of a 16 year old girl that has been closed for a very long time. now to see what happens to Elizabeth and her case you will have to read Girl With the Dragon Tattoo By: Stieg Lasrson
