setting

The setting of this book is located in a school of magic called Hogwarts, it is located in really the middle of nowhere on a hill top. ( I'm surprised it hasn't fallen that school must weigh about 50000000 tons). Around the school are many little stores per say and some cafes where the students can eat or just talk with each other about their wizardry, unless you are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasely. The school It self is quite large, it has a huge diner hall which I would love to be in because they serve the most amazing foods there. Each class has a separate room just like our schools do, they only difference is that Mason last time I checked was not a school of Witch craft and wizardry, I guess that is a pretty LARGE difference.

In this book there are actually two settings one is set during the school year and one is set during the summer when each student is preparing for the school year. In the paragraph above is the setting during the school year, the next setting is located in the Weasely house and a small town called Hogsmeade. I wonder if they just named every building and town with hog as the first word. In this town/village you can get clothes, books, wands food really anything. The village is kind of like the malls that we have if you really think about it, we have food courts and small shops as well. Here is a picture of Hogsmeade from one of the movies made from this book.

New book

I have decided that I will not read the new book in the series of Witch and Wizard, and that i would instead read something that I have read almost the whole series. This book is the last one of the Harry Potter series which I have been meaning to read so that I can finish the whole series. I haven't started reading the book quite yet but i will start soon. What I predict might happen in this book might be that Harry will most likely somehow defeat The dark lord (voldemort) by using the schools powers. By this I mean that he will take the whole school out to the battlefield to once an for all take down this evil that has tormented Harry and his school for now being 7 years. Some questions I have for this book are how is Harry going to defeat voldemort, if he does even battle him. Also I would really like to know what will happen to the school now that the headmaster has been murdered, will professor Snape or McGonagall take over the "thrown" per say of the school. What will happen to Fred and George Weasely (someone told me that something horrible would happen to them). But my one HUGE question would be what happens to Harry does he win or lose? Well I will just have to find out by reading the book. This is a trailer of the books movie. Part 1.   Part 2.

Finished Witch an Wizard

Well I finally finished this book and all I can say for the ending is... cliff hanger. Major cliff hanger. Now I have to go and read the rest of the series, which is Witch and Wizard: Gift, Witch and Wizard: Fire, and the one that is coming out this year Witch and Wizard: Kiss. So in the end Whisty and Whit figure out how to control their powers and get to see their parents but if they get to stay as a family is for you to find out. Maybe they got taken away again, or maybe they get to live wonderful lives. I'm not even quite sure what might happen to them and their parents. But for now the whole Allgood family is together as they all were before the attack. This is what the newest book looks like.

The Witch and The Wizard setting

This book is about a brother and sister named Whitford and Wisteria Allgood, they had the perfect family, friends, school, and just in general a perfect life. Until one night when the government had not just taken them from their lives but ripped everything from them, and on top of that the government had claimed that these two normal kids had Powers like in Harry Potter, that they could cast spells and other things like this. So they sent the brother and sister to a cellar/prison type thing and locked them up inside and never let the two see daylight. Whit and Whisty had not exactly enjoyed their stay at hotel creep out, because not only was it a small room for each of them including no light and one nasty old bathroom to share, they also had to deal with the horrifying guards standing watch over the two dimly lit cells.

Whisty then later decides that being locked up in a horror fun house is no fun at all and tell her brother that they need to leave, and somehow they manage to use their powers which they have never used before to unlock the cell doors. Next to them were those big goofs just sleeping on the job, which made it easier for them to escape. On the way out all they can hear in the long, brick lined walls are the echos of their feet splashing against the water on the floor, until one moment when they hear a loud and frightening roar that sounded like a lion but when they reached the odd sound it was no lion but a huge 3 headed slobbering growling dog. Who had the biggest bright red eyes, with claws that could rip apart anything, and there was no way of getting around this beast, but some how they did.

why did i choose Witch and Wizard

I chose this book because first of all the cover looked quite interesting to, it is the letter W covered in flames with a black background and at the ends of the flames there are two faces those two faces are the main characters which i thought was cool. When ever i choose a book i normally read the brief summary on the back which i did do with this book. Just reading the first line had intrigued me to keep reading, and when i got to the end it said " And then you were told that everything you loved-- your books, your music, your pictures-- were banned forever". Don't you want to see why everything would be taken from you i know i did.

Another reason why i chose this book is because some of my friends had read it and said it was a great read and that i should take a look at it. Sometimes when others tell me to try a book i don't really like the book that much because it is not my first choice in genre of books. But this book was the exact genre that i love to read, plus once i started reading one the third page there was action happening which doesn't really happen in a book and that was what really made me read this book.

Author of Witch and Wizard

The author of the book Witch and Wizard is James Patterson. He grew up in a small town located in Newburgh, New York, he later than went to college in Manhattan University and also Vanderbilt University.

Blog Reflection

Click here to view my best blog post. I think that my post of reading skills follows the rubrics requirements quite well. The rubric say to have in my post a text- to self, world, and text connection; and in my post I had all of them. Here is the text-to-text connection A text-to-text connection is the amount of action and mystery in the first chapter of this book acts like the action and mystery in my summer reading book Just After Sunset. Already in the beginning of each book there was a problem.. Since I had just started the book I had many questions about what might happen in the book.

Next trimester I want to read the next two books of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and see what happens to all the characters. I also want to start to write, free write not long stories, just five minutes a day to practice my writing skills. Another goal I have for reading next trimester is to read more then three days a week, maybe to read five to six days a week. I want to improve my reading skills like how complex the writing/storyline is like.
