Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

   The book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling is an amazing book with lots of action and adventure.  This book is about an amazing boy that finds out that he is a wizard and that you know who (Voldemort) has given him a scare on his forehead at first he thought that it was a scare from a car crash because that is what the Dusley's told him.  This is one of the best books i have ever read so far I am really loving this book so much that i can't stop reading it.  What i find interesting is that the Dusley's knew that Harry was a Wizard but they have never told him.  I think that if he did not get the letter from Hogwarts he would figure out that he was different eventually.  Sometimes during the book i wonder what if that letter never came and he was stuck with his aunt, uncle, and his cousin Dudley.
  I think that if Harry never have gotten the letter from Hogwarts explaining that he was going to the school because he was a Wizard than just maybe he would still have been stuck inside the cupboard until he was old enough to move out.  Without getting the letter Harry would be living a sad life just like he did before the letter.
  I also think that the letter he got changed his whole entire life.  After he received the letter Dudley stopped teasing him and he was moved to the room up stairs.  He was also treated better from every one that knew.  At first I had no idea why Mr.Dusley didn't want to give him the letter but after reading a little more of the book i realized that maybe he didn't want Harry to know because they would have to act nice to him because he had magic powers and could hurt them.  I really am enjoying the book and if you haven't read it you really should! 

World on Fire

  To me there is something in this song that makes me feel that I really do want to do something about the world and the people on it.  What really caught my attention is that the music videos that people make cost over 100 million dollars, I really think that if all that money went to a place that really needed it than the world would be a better place for all of us.  When i first read the lyrics to this song i was thinking of 9/11 because it said that darkness was falling around them and how airplanes came crashing down.  After watching the music video I noticed that Sarah Mclachan was thinking something else.  She was talking about the people in Africa and how they need a lot of help.  In the video they were showing kids from Africa and how they sleep on the streets and don't have enough money to go to school or some even struggle with getting water.  I think if we donated the money that people get from filming videos or even just making a t.v. show because the people that make these videos probably all ready have a lot of money that they don't use and if they don't use it than why not give it to the people that really need it.  I thought that the video was really interesting because in between some of the stages they filmed they had the amount of money that the regular videos cost and what they could do with that money.

  To me this video was very inspiring and i also think that if more and more people watch this video they will actually do something for the people that right now are in poverty.  Although this video was only about the people in Africa that doesn't mean that, that is the only place with people that are in poverty.  That is not true because people all over the world are having the same issues as  people in Africa.  You don't have to start big even donating some clothing that you don't wear or is to small on you can make a big difference.  Every year I donate some of my clothes to people that actually need it.  So next time if you have some nice clothes that you don't wear any more than instead of throwing them out donate them and you will help a person in need.

MockingJay

  MockingJay by Suzanne Collins is a "Violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense... I couldn't stop reading it" is a quote given by Stephan King.  As many he thinks that the the Hunger Games series is one of the best.  Although i have not finished the third book yet i loved the other books.  In the book MockingJay (The third book) there is a lot of things that are going on that make you want to think.  One thing that I kept thinking in my mind was that does Katniss really love Peta or Gale.   This question has been wondering around in my brain from the begging of the first book.  In this book i love how Katniss cares so much about both Gale and Peta and how all she wants to do is save everyone but she thinks all she is doing is making everything worst.  In this book all i really think about is how Katniss Is stuck in a love triangle.  

  Katniss is stuck because Gale who she knew all her life kissed her out of nowhere and Peta the one that loves her but she has no idea if she loves him back.  She has to marry Peta so she started to think about her mixed up feelings about both boys and she also has to pretty much save evryone from dying.  Now she also thinks that every thing is her fault because before doing a whole act in the arena with the berries everything was normal than president Snow started to threaten Katniss's family and friends.

  Over the course of the book she makes many huge mistakes like running away from the arena when it was her second time there.  Also leaving Peta alone in the arena after promising Haymich that she will protect him from getting hurt or even from dying, she said that if she has to she will die instead of Peta.  I think although she has made a lot of bad mistakes she also made a lot of good ones in this book.
