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 20th 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.
