Literal Analysis

     1) The book I am currently reading is Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. It is about this kid named Harry who discovers he was a wizard since birth. He then attends the wizarding school Hogwarts. He makes some friends along the way.

    2) I believe the theme of the book is somewhat Identity and Growing Up since he realizes who he really is and is growing as in knowledge wise.

    3) From the author's tone I would imagine that they sleep late since she puts in a lot of effort on her books which normally means they work on their book a lot, mostly in the night so that would lead to wake up late. I think this since the main character is sort of the same as what I portray her to be like. I would imagine she would drink coffee and meditate since it seems she doesn't write too much about hatred which could mean she meditates to release her stress. I would think she would get hungover from time to time due to her success. I would think she would eat breakfast which would probably be waffles with syrup and sausage. I think this since they give that breakfast at the school.

    4) Five literary techniques that I observed while reading the book is dialogue, foreshadowing, hyperbole, simile, and symbolism. Dialogue was use in a lot of parts in the book. For example many characters would talk to each other whether it be about their personal life, the new school, and the backstory of Hogwarts. Foreshadowing was also shown a couple of times. For example, when they talked about a villain who tried to kill Harry failed it foreshadows that the villain will try again. Another instance of foreshadowing was when Harry bought some treats to share with another kid which foreshadowed that they would become close friends. Hyperboles were also shown throughout some parts of the book. Similes were also shown through some parts of the book. For example, they compared Harry to something invincible. Another instance was when they were comparing regular school to Hogwarts. Symbolism was probably the least when compared to the others. The main example was the scar the villain had left on Harry. Another one was Ron's (Harrys friend) pet rat which has been handed down throughout his family.

Pages From my Journal #2

October 6 I would meet people in school or near my neighborhood post quarantine. Now I don't really give myself too much time to talk to new people. I haven't really made much friends during quarantine apart from maybe 2-3 people. October 7 If the spider is small I would try to take it outside, but if its large I'm not going to hesitate and I'm going to try and smash it. It would depend on the size whether I'd take it outside or smash it. October 8 When I'm gone people might say that I was an interesting or a one of a kind figure. At least that what I think people that are close to me think. They might also think I'm a chill person. October 9 People who are important for me are my parents. This because the have done so much for me that I can't thank them enough or repay them no matter how I hard I try. Something that I think they find important is me and my two younger brothers.

Les Mis CH 2

The third chapter of Les Misérables is appealing to me because it can sort of be compared to what is currently happening right now during Quarantine. There are also some new words I learned while reading like the word priesthood which according to google means the office or position of a priest. A lot as money started to flow few people would be able to gain while other people would go to to M. Myriel's door in search of alms.

Essay

    Arguing is a good thing since it can help people who disagree come to a good answer to their question or their problem. There are many ways to argue. One of them is by staying calm about the situation and going back and forth or you can just not get any closer to the answer by yelling and screaming at each other.     We can also improve our country by arguing in many ways. One of those ways being by trying to find solutions to problems like the pandemic at the moment. They can go back and forth on how to find a vaccine or keep the cases at a low point.     Also some arguments could be put in the history books for the next generation to pick up and read in their class or for themselves. another thing arguing can do for us, is that it can make people bond with one another or form strong relationships with whom they were arguing with.     Lastly arguing helps come to a strong conclusion about the topic or the problem.
