harry potter and the journey of the book review


  • The novel I am introducing is written by an author named J.K Rowling. As she explains her dream through imagination in her old time classic I am reading called "Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone". It was produced and published by a company called SCHOLASTIC PRESS, in 1997. As J.k Rowling herself was born in 1965 in Yate, England. As she started to write and plan her series of harry potter after waiting after a delayed train ride in England As she started to plan and outline each novel for the past 5years after her idea. She also seem to work as a researcher at Amnesty international. the review of the plot taken in this story is what I describe "magical". As it starts out from being outrageously neglected by his own aunt and uncle, As the young boy Harry (the boy who lives) is given a destiny as he proves his worth at his new school. As we take a wild journey with the young 11 year old Harry potter himself seem to find himself accompanied along with his two new school mates Hermione Granger and Ron Wesley. They never seem to have their guard down for one another as they protect one another from danger that leaks through the walls of Hogwarts. AS when they are together they can make it through anything even danger. In the beginning of the novel the setting starts off in England On a street called number four Privet Drive then across to a enchanted castles where you can see the magic awaits you. As the characters together forum themselves a great adventure, as they travel through dangerous obstacles that will make them Hero's. As bravery to me seems to be a theme in the book as I can see the way the character show how they are not afraid to take forth in defending their school. As they also take paths that had might had even brought death upon them. As I also see loyalty as becoming a theme in the book  as the characters form a promise that they will not leave each other behind and they'll be there for each other till the end. A they had bonded ad gown to love one another in the friendship they have created.
In my own opinion if you are really into fantasy, adventure and a something to sink your teeth into, then this s a book I recommend to you to read. yes it is a very long book but as you read it, its like you have actually stepped into J.K Rowling's world of Hogwarts as she specifies so man detail through out it. I love the characters as they all brought the book to life and sound like normal people just like us, sometimes the writer makes me believe that there is such school called Hogwarts because of how much of her thoughts went into her writing. But read it trust me you'll love it as much as I do. Believe to me seems to be a theme, As in have the courage in yourself to be afraid of what's out there in the world. Don't let others take in charge of your own lie as there is a destiny that awaits you. just like how Harry's journey is to save his school and become cherished with all new memories with his two new friends. Two powerful quotes to me were when Dumbledore quotes to harry “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” pg 214 As it explains how you should be able to believe in yourself and go onward towards your dreams and do be a coward, don't be afraid to reach for
something thinking you'll fall because if you hit the ground your only option is to go up. As for harry his dreams were to see his parents who've passed on but believing he can try find a way of contacting them even though it is impossible. but as he tries and focusing to feeling alive and always know he'll always have somebody out there that loves him and hi parents inside his heart. Another quote that seem to have stricken me was when Dumbledore the head master of Hogwarts also quotes “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” pg. 306. As It explains if your you know something bad is bound to happen don't be afraid to stand up and speak , As it takes courage onto telling that to our enemies face on how we feel but also our closet friends that we care about. The book compared to the movie is that the book carries more detail as it opens your mind to think of the unusual to actually believe that your actually there. then the movie in my opinion away from the book has some exact detail in J.K Rowling's book but gives a greater image. makes you want you o believe in this magical place called Hogwarts as you see the magic appear, happening all around you. but overall I love both the novel and the movie version. How this impacted me on a personal level is when I really never really got into reading these novels again after the last book, but having to read it all again is worth wonders, as I believe in things of the unusual that I am alive and I shouldn't be afraid to do what I want to accomplish because it is my destiny.

virtual relationships (multi-media)

 

I first met my lovely boyfriend Jesse through the social networking called face book.I'm sure all you guys are familiar with it, ha ha. it all started off with a simple hi then couple month latter we actually started liking each other. so then we started to exchange phone number, write on each others walls saying how much we liked each other. then when we finally had the guts to finally call each other he asked me out on 9-5-11, and promised me that he'd met me one day.
so who ever knew that social networking would had brought us close and then all the sudden summer hit. and he flew all the way down from orange county just to see me, his family has a bit of financial trouble and so do we. but my dad was kind enough to buy him his plane ticket here and back for a birthday gift since that was only what i wanted. i was nervous when i first saw him but then we talk and look at each other like we've known each other since forever.





i
He only got to spend at least a week and Half and I've enjoyed every once ,second and minute i got to spent with him. we've truly gotten attached after finally waiting a whole year to met each other. but when it was time to leave it was hard for us to let go so we gave each other something of ours so it kind remind us of one another. we also promised that wed see each other soon even if it means if we have to wait another long summer just to see each other again because we both know it'll be worth it. and so far people find it surprising that we've lasted at least 19 months with one another. and I'm glad that I've made it this far with him, i wouldn't change it for the world. and glad that social networking is alive today cause if it didn't i don't think id met the person i am with right now (:

sea of opportunities


under the bright light of the sun,
looking up into the blue cloudy skies
sinking yourself into the cooling soft sand ,running your hands through it wondering
so many things about the outside world
 
About what else to see, who to be ,
the sea Itself brings so much opportunities
like a turtle hatching from its egg, wondering
who to be, wondering is this his opportunity to try and become someone.
 
One day you'll be like that little turtle
and swim yourself into the ocean blue
diving all around the cooling water to see where the sea leads you,
as it takes you to your destiny in life, to who you are to become In the future.
 
this is you.
this is your path, this is your sea
show the world what you got to offer.

fast food advertising and what it brings

both products are both advertising fast food the first one is advertising taco bell's taco pack and the other is a video advertising Carl's Jr hamburger. the target audience feels like its more directed to those who love to celebrate the NFL football games with a good time. the Carl's Jr ad looks like it was more directed to men as it quotes "it'll make you a man" in the video itself. Another product that seems to be selling in the taco bell ad is the NFL game day, perhaps only to get those people more interested in watching the NFL so the channel can get more viewers. when on the other hand invite some friends over and enjoy a taco while the game is on
. On the Mrs.Robinson Ad from Carl's Jr it seems seductive most directly to men and that's what  i believe its trying to sell as well. that perhaps if you eat this hamburger you'll become a man and have some good looking young lady all over you feeding  you some sandwich. but we all know that's never going to happen, but she seems to love eating that hamburger with that grin across her face which can also show that the hamburger is actually quite tasty and can leave you smiling. but i just know just by seeing these two advertisements its actually got me wanting to go to those fast food restaurants and go eat there :P aha.

online privacy(were being watched..)

whats privacy you ask??
in my opnion its like a diary we write our own little secrets we dont want anyone to find out, but somehow someone takes our diary and just knows everything about us. is how i have my take on online privacy, how were being watched by the gonvernment and people that we dont even know that somehow can steal our own identiy. we cant let those type of people our idenity because there can be only you, not a bunch of other clones. everythign we do is being watched through the face of your computer screen, the websites we casually go on day by day to probably web cam talks. i mean what draws those who want to know our privacy? our privacy is not worth the price. we deserve to keep our privacy and away from others, its not that intresting, as we just live like normal human beings. nothing exciting going on, so why watch our moves?.

real friends are better than virtual

everyone now and days are just so into seeing how many friends they can get like some competition, they're always just adding random people so they can watch their number of friends increase on their social media or you can also say followers, so those that they add can like there status. people only do that so they can be "social media famous", your not going to get famous by posting pointless status, to be "famous" you have to be inspiring someone everyone looks up to as a hero of some sort and I'm sure out of the 5000 friends they have on face book they only talk to approximately 4 -6 people. why add social media friends when you can have real friends?, they give you attention too more than the social media ones do. for instance social media friends yeah perhaps you can have a fun conversation with them learn about them, but they are just there to read what you have to say half o those social media friends really don't care what you have to say but real friends do because they know the real you and care. and having a real friend are people you can actually conversant with rather than fb,twitter exc. ,someone you can share your adventures with, someone to actually listen to your problems and being able to share emotions too . your able to be yourself around you real friends be yourself, don't pretend to be someone your not through social media because you want the attention.
