Questions
1 A lot of notes. He spent alot of time on them.
2 He climbs out on the edge of the building. He grabs the piece of paper and breaks through his window to get back into his apartment.

My questions
1 why did he go through all that trouble for a peice of paper.
2 doesnt he know what is on the paper because they are his own notes.

Claim- The people of the hills were spiritual.

Quote-"He who touches the metal must be a priest or the son of a priest."

choice book 4

The Sorcerers Stone is a symbol in my story. it symbolizes humans lust for everlasting life. Voldimort is greedy and will do anytthing to get that stone.

Harry's scar symbolizes a badge of honor. It shows that he survived a great battle with Voldemort.

Choice book 3

static or dynamic/round or flat

Characters-

harry- Harry is a round and dynamic character. He undergoes change in this story. in the beginning he is treated as the second best in the Dursly household. when he goes to Hogwarts he becomes a brave wizard who fights evil and everyone likes him in the end.

Mr. Dursley- he is a flat and static character. He does not undergo any change and he has one personality, which is mean. he is mean and unfair to Harry. Even when Harry does something good he is always mean and nasty.

Dudly- Dudly is a rich, young, spoiled, brat. I think he is a round character because he is a whinny,spoiled, and greedy. these are not good traits but there are many so i think he is round. Dudly does not go through any changes throughout the story so far so he is static.

choice book 2

setting: The setting of Harry Potter starts in harry's house. he lives with some relatives named the Dursleys. they are verry mean to him because they know he is a wizard. They live in a small quite neighborhood. they try to be the "perfect" family. they are preppy and strict. Dudly, the son, goes to and expensive school with other rich kids while Harry is forced to sleep in a cupboard.

Although i believe most of the story takes place at Hogwarts, i think this is vital because it really reveals Harry's past and the events in his life leading up to his new life at Hogwarts.

choice book 1

Book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

By: J. K. Rowling

i already know this book is about a young boy who finds out he is actually a wizard. he goes to a school just for wizards and ends up saving everybody from Lord Voldimort.

I chose this book because i saw the movie. I heard from some people that the book has more detail and tells a lot more than the movie. I enjoyed this movie so i thought i should read this book to find out what i'm missing and to see how the two differ.
