Cause and effect

Harry potter and the chamber of secrets is my story and the turning point is where harry discovers the pathway of the chamber of the secrets and fights voldemort again. The reason voldemort wants to kill harry is because when harry was just a baby voldemort killed his parents and he tried to kill harry but instead does not kill harry, loses his power and was never seen again up until the first and second year for harry at hogwarts. How will voldemort get inside the school with albus dumbledore still alive, or is voldemort already inside waiting for harry to find him.

The effect is that harry finds out about the chamber of secrets and that there is a beast inside it and that it has been lurking around the school paralyzing anybody who sees it. Harry kills voldemort and gets an award for doing so. Then the students that were paralyzed are cured by the potion and they all go back to their homes for summer.  

How Chinese culture is different from ours

Well they have a different outlook on life. Most of them take school more seriously because of the amount of punishment for not behaving or not getting good grades. They also have different food than we would normally eat in america like how much rice they grow compared to us or how much more of a variety of fish they eat. Piercings,tanning, and dying hair. 

Stereotyping strangers

In the story “After you, My Dear Alphonse, by Shirley  Jackson” the mother and her tone towards Boyd relates to WWII. This story relates to the racism and attitudes during WWII in many ways.

One way that the story relates to the attitude is how the mother makes comments to Boyd about his race, because he was black and most Americans in the 20^th century  thought most black people weren’t able to provide for their family or they were broke. For an Example Most of the Germans were influenced by Hitler to think that Jews were invading the country and taking jobs away, and that meant that the rich Jews were to be targeted first.  Hitler once said “the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shapes of the Jew”.

Another example that relates to the mother in the story is the bombing of pearl harbor. After the bombing Americans felt very angry towards the Japanese. The Americans pretty much hated all Japanese civilians  and didn’t want peace between the two and only wanted revenge. The Americans Stereotype was that the Japanese are brutal and relentless but that’s was not the case. Hitler set the Americans up and they told the Japanese rite away and the Japanese were angry.

Another example that relates to the mother in the story is how most people outside America think of Americans as rich and lazy. Like a quote that states  “Americans have everything handed to them. No matter what they want, there is a government program that gives it to them”. The other non American societies think this but is not true. we have are freedom because there are people to fight for it. We are rich because we work hard. Although some Americans live off the government that does not mean the rest do.

These are just some of the multiple stereotypes from different countries to other countries all over the world. Most just come from followers and people who haven’t seen all of a certain society and make a judgment based on the part of the society they’ve seen so far .In  the end most people just ignore what other people say because most of the time it is not true what others say about a society they’ve haven’t fully explored yet.  

Point of View Remake

Most people have heard stories about heroes. Naruto, by Masashi Kishimoto,  is about a boy named Naruto who is on a journey to become the best ninja of his time. I feel that Naruto is good because he fights bad ninjas, helps people in need, and saved his village. These are all traits of a hero and it is a long path until he becomes hokage the best ninja rank in his region.  Since the story is from Naruto’s point of view, the reader’s view is affected by his actions and opinions.

When Naruto fights sauske I felt mad at Orichimaru because he brainwashed Sauske into thinking there is no hope left. Naruto tried and tried to save him but it almost costed him his life. I feel  bad for Naruto because e him and sauske were just starting to become friends.

Another instance was when Naruto tried to help Garra after garra parents were assassinated. Garra felt alone and scared but then Naruto helped him through his problems. This made me feel synthetic for garra growing up as an outcast and his parents being killed when he was young.

If one of these events was from Orichimaru’s  perspective, I would hate Naruto and be on a quest to turn his friends to believe in the path of destruction. I would also destroy his village and use Naruto to get the nine tailed fox spirit and become more powerful.

In the end I would be looking from Narutos point of view mostly because he is the good guy and his point of view seems more reasonable. He also is very encouraging to his friends and help people get through the loss of parents science he’s  been through. 

A clean well lighted place

I thought the story was not in the right time period but the right setting. Most American waiters do not have the patients on long work days so they say things they don’t really mean.  It would probably not happen today in America because the  person being mistreated could sew the restraunt and that would put people out of business.

Important quote from The Ransom of Red chief

Casey at the bat

 In the story “Casey at the Bat” the author shows figurative language with hyperboles, similes, and personification.

One way the author creates imagery is by using  hyperboles. For instance  when Cooney died at first . This creates a tone of over exadderation because they didn’t really die.

Another  way the author creates imagery is through the use of  similes . For instance It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell. This creates a tone of silence  because it sounds scary but it is a figure of speech.

The hyperboles and similes effected the overall piece by over exaderating to grab the reader’s attention. Also it affects it by comparing two things of a different nature that both have something in common.  Those were two parts of figurative language that effected the story

Casey at the bat shows that in the end they didn’t give up even though the task at hand seemed hopeless. That is a good example of real determination. Instead of giving up Casey gave it his all for his himself, audience, and most importantly his supportive team.
