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.
