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.

Point of View

Authors note: When someone makes a promise and is determined to keep it they will fight even if it means putting their life on the line.

In the series Naruto Narutos enemy Sauske who used to be his friend is now on a path to destroying everything he use to fight for. Naruto is trying to tell sauske that revenge isn’t always the best solution. Sauske looks  at it like it’s the only way. Sauske didn’t choose this path he was captured and brain washed and now can never go back to his old life.

The book is told from Narutos point of view and reflects on the fact that sauske is too far brain washed to save but Naruto doesn’t understand that. He made a promise to Saukura to bring him back but it has almost cost his life. He understands the risk but he is determined to keep his promise.

The point of view in Naruto is about the path you choose and if you take advice to choose the right one.  The hero chooses to help but cant and can only watch his friend go down a path of evil. No one can save a person who wants revenge and has seen true darkness they can only hope that they come back to sanity and reality.

There are some people who cant relate to others and there are people who can. If everybody in the world was the same our world might be good and it might be bad. It all comes down to their choices that leads them down the path of bad or good. These are two characters who are very much similar but still have some differences.

These are the people who really spark a similarity. Their names are Naruto and Garra both legendary creatures called tails. Garra is one tails and Naruto is nine tails. What they both have in common is that they both grew up with no parents. Garra’s  were assassinated as a little boy but his mom stored a powerful sand inside him to protect him against almost anything.

Naruto is similar in some ways. His childhood wasn’t all the greatest. His parents died and sealed the nine tails inside of him. Being one of the tails is a great honor but it made Naruto’s childhood hard. Everyone thought he was dangerous since the nine tails almost destroyed their village and everyone turned their backs on him just like Garra.

Garra was different from Naruto inn one way. Garra wanted revenge Naruto wanted attention. Garra was peer evil and everyone thought it was hopeless to try and help him, But Naruto knew he was the same as Garra and wanted to help him. Garra knew that there was someone who cared and decided to be like Naruto.

In the beginning you can help someone through the same difficulties you’ve already went through.  Naruto decided he would help garra so garra won’t grow up evil knowing garra had the potential to be a good person. That is why garra is a village of the sand lord because he had the strength and  will to after being taught by a peer.

War comparison

The movie the patriot and the book April morning are not so different. The setting is there both fighting the same war and in the same time period. Both of the main characters take a risk to save what could be there soon to be future and country.

In the patriot Ben left because he knows how to lead men into battle and inspire them to never give up so he was a good asset. Ben was more of a mature a smart person in war because he had been in war himself and learned the ways of how brutal it really is. Benjamin did not want to go to war and has a lot to lose so it is hard leaving his family alone when the battle field is not too far away and no one to protect them.

In April morning cooper left to go to war early because even though he worked hard all the time his parents didn’t accept him for who he was so he took any chance possible to leave them and he was already planning to go to war anyway to prove himself. Cooper is young and naïve and doesn’t have any experience in war so it will take a toll on him in a lot of different situations.  Cooper really doesn’t have anything to lose and so it is not a big deal to him leaving his family behind.

When it comes to who will most likely end up not surviving the war it will be cooper, but that really doesn’t matter for him because he has already been planning this for a while and he has no one to come home to after the war. Ben on the other hand will do anything to stay alive and keep the rest of his family alive because two of his sons, his daughter and brother and law, and his wife have all died and know he only has a couple children which he intends to keep alive.

Harry Potters Future

Authors note: A twisting turn as harry turns into a teen he is conflicted between a deadly enemy trying to kill him and love that could kill his secret admirers. 

In Harry Potter and the goblet of fire I feel that with age he will become stronger and more mature. With maturity comes the conflict of love and crushes between girls and boys. Harry will become in love with one of his two admires and be less focused on the topic at hand. The dark lord Voldemort! In the end I see that he puts his admirer into a dangerous situation by being with them in the first place even though he knows he is a high value target for one of the strongest wizards ever.

My first reason for my prediction is that harry has two women that like him. One is his friend Ron’s sister Ginny who has liked him ever since he got on the train for his first year at Hogwarts. The other is one of his friends Hermione has liked harry for a while because of his bravery and is not afraid to get his hands dirty to do something right. How this may put both of his admirers in danger and put pressure on harry is he doesn’t want to hurt the others feelings and he surely doesn’t want to put them in danger.

My second reason for my prediction is that harry may put him in danger if he doesn’t train and get stronger than Voldemort before Voldemort attacks again. Harry has defeated Voldemort twice but with luck because Voldemort had never fully recovered after the night he lost his powers attempting to kill harry. Now harry needs to prepare, train, and make smart choices to defend the attack against him.

I think that in the end he will not have attacked harry. My reason is because he has not recovered and under Dumbledore’s protection not to mention he is the most powerful wizard of all harry is safe. Soon though Voldemort will strike and kill Dumbledore and then will go after harry. Once Voldemort kills Dumbledore harry knows only with training, preparation, and a smart mindset will he be able to defeat Voldemort once and for all.
