NOVEL
HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE

Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone is a novel written by J.K.Rowling. This is the tale of Harry Potter, an ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learnt that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

I chose this novel because, throughout the novel, Harry is trying to discover his identity as a wizard. Harry is constantly reminded of the that his parents were killed and is always trying to help everyone in need.I also chose this book because of the great messages it sends to people about family, love, truth and courage.

One of the most memorable stages of his identity in the book is about truth. The Truth scene shows how Dumbledore is telling Harry that truth is not something to take lightly cause it will come with consequences that could change how he see's everything He has just learned. “The Truth” Dumbledore sighed ”It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should, therefore, be treated with great caution. However, I shall answer your answer your questions unless I have a very good reason not to, in which case I beg you’ll forgive me.I shall not, of cause lie”.

I think this quote is significant to his identity because he is just learning about his family death and how to be a wizard after many years of the lie that his aunt and uncle pulled. The truth is also really important topic in his identity because the last 10 years of his life has been a lie and we want to find out the truth about his parents and what happened to them but the truth will change who he is. This scene is also very emotional because you realise that as he has to grow he is going to be put into danger. This scene helps you understand that sometimes the truth is going to be painful especially if it was hidden devastating lies.

One of the most inspiring stages of his identity is about courage.The courage scene Dumbledore has just enough that Neville will be getting points for standing up to his friends. “There are all kinds of courage, ” said Dumbledore, smiling. “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to our friends…”

I find this quote inspiring because it is telling us that I may be extremely difficult to stand up to your enemy but i is more difficult to stand up to your friends so when Neville stood up to Harry he was trying to protect him from getting hurt and that His friends life was worth fighting for even if it meant going against them. I believe it is harder to stand up to your friends than your enemies because your friends inspire you to be you and when you are standing up to an enemy you are don't care what they think you but your friends do. This quote helps show a stage of his identity by showing that if risk so your friends and family means standing up against them you should do all that is in your power.

One of the most emotional stage's of Harry's identity in the book is about family. In this scene Harry was standing in front of the mirror if eirsed and he sees his parents in the mirror.” the potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily backs them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them.he had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness.”

I think this quote is emotional and shows his identity because it is the first scene where Harry meets his parents even if it is an illusion of his greatest dream.I find the words and language have a huge effect on my mind and that it tells you that he doesn't know if he is happy or sad about seeing his parents. This scene shows his identity because he was able to see and remember what his parents look and were like when they were alive. This scene shows you that Harry'd biggest dream is to be with his family.

This book relates to because I am always trying to find myself I will come upon facts and truth that I won't what to see as the truth and have to use the courage I have to except in. It also relates to me because I am always up for a challenge ahead and I am always making sure my family and friends are safe.

I relate to harry because he is forever trying to find more stuff about his family and wants to learn about.I also relate to Harry because he has lost so much in his short life spam and yet so determined to make other better when she has so little.I think that because of Harry is a young adult he is easier to understand a compared with.

NOVEL

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

The Prisoner of Azkaban is a novel by J.K.Rowling.The book follows Harry Potter, in his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Harry investigates Sirius Black, an escaped prisoner from Azkaban who they believe is one of Lord Voldemort's old allies. Along the investigation, he discovered what his parents were like at school.

I chose this novel because of the theme of memories and past because Harry is growing as a person and come upon some interesting fact he never knew about what his parents were like. The main theme’s in this book are memories of the past and family.

One of my favourite scenes is in chapter ten when Harry is in the hospital wing for the weekend after his encounter on the quitch field with a dementor. In the chapter, he is stressing about the Grim and then they come to the topic of dementors.” Everyone said the dementors were horrible, but no one else collapsed every time they went near one ….. No one heard echoes in their head of their dying parents. For Harry knew who that screaming voice belonged to now. He had heard her words, heard them over and over again the night hours in the hospital wing while he lay awake, staring at the strip of moonlight on the ceiling. When the Dementors approached him, he heard the last moments of his mother's life, her attempts to protect him, Harry, from Lord Voldemort, and Voldemort's laughter before he murdered her …..”  I like this scene because I make you feel all different emotions like worry and the need to continue reading. Harry is realising that the screaming voice is his mother lily but you're also realising that Harry is getting haunted by the memories that have inhabited in self in his mind playing on repeat. I also give you more information about what effects the dementors have on Harry and that they are bringing up memories of Harry's past that he didn’t remember.

One of my other favourite scenes in the book was in chapter eleven when Harry is looking at photos of his parents and their friends when he comes upon the picture of their wedding day
“There was his father waving up at him, beaming, the untidy black hair  Harry had inherited standing up in all directions. There was his mother, alight with happiness, arm in arm with his dad. And there... That must be him. Their best man … Harry had never given him a thought before” I like this scene because it makes you think about what his parents were like and how the didn’t see  Sirius Black as a trader because they knew him so well so I make you wonder how he hid it from them.Then there was this after it “if it hadn’t known it was the same person, he would never have guessed it was black in this old photograph. His face wasn’t sunken and wavy, but handsome, full of laughter. “  I make you wonder because how could he act so happy and friendly when he was planning to kill the potter’s and why he could betray this friendship.In the scene, Harry is wondering if he was already working for Voldemort and how twelve years in Azkaban made him unrecognisable to people that knew him beforehand. It makes you wonder how Harry is feeling about Black because this man murdered his family and if it was me, I would be extremely, vengeance to the man who left me alone.

One of my other favourite scene in chapter twelve when Harry is with Lupin and getting ready to do a Patronus.Lupin lets out the Bogart and tells Harry to conjure the spell of  ‘Expecto Patronum’ to send the dementor away but fails to make a white fog cloud his senses to the ends up hearing voices to his parents and a horrid laughter.

”Lily, take Harry and go! It’s him! Go! Run! I’ll hold him off-’ the sound of someone stumbling from a room - a door bursting open- a cackle of high-pitched laughter- “

It made me anxious because you would freak out of you heard the scene of your parent's death and you feel sorry for Harry for having to suffer the pain of remembering the horrid memory. It makes me wonder how Harry can suffer the memories that the dementor brings up and how the memories of the past and affecting him when he is alone.

This book relates to because I am always trying to find out about my family and always up for a challenge ahead and making sure to always have a good memory because it can always change your perspective of things.

I relate to harry because he is forever trying to find more stuff about his family and wants to learn about.I also relate to Harry because he has lost so much in his short lifespan and yet so determined to make other better when she has so little.I think that because of Harry is a young adult he is easier to understand a compared with.

ENGLISH: INVISIBLE MAN vs THE STRANGE TALE OF DR. JEKYLL AND HYDE

The invisible man is a novella by H.G Wells. It was published in 1897. The novella features a mysterious man called Griffin who arrives in West Sussex.  Who demands to be left alone and spends most of his time in his rooms working with a set of chemicals and laboratory apparatus, only going out at night. The townspeople think he is strange.
Meanwhile, a burglary occurs in the village. Griffin is running out of money and is trying to find a way to pay for his board and lodging.When his landlady demands that he pay his bill and quit the premises, he reveals part of his invisibility to her. 
Griffin coerces a tramp, Thomas Marvel, into becoming his assistant.he returns to the village to recover three notebooks that contain records of his experiments.When Marvel attempts to betray the Invisible Man to the police, Griffin chases him to the seaside town of Port Burdock, threatening to kill him. Marvel escapes to a local inn and is saved by the people at the inn, but Griffin escapes. Marvel later goes to the police and tells them of this "invisible man," then requests to be locked up in a high-security jail.
Griffin's furious attempt to avenge his betrayal leads to his being shot. He takes shelter in a nearby house that turns out to belong to Dr Kemp, a former acquaintance from medical school. To Kemp, he reveals his true identity: the Invisible Man is Griffin, a former medical student who left medicine to devote himself to optics.
Griffin tells Kemp of the story of how he became invisible.Griffin burned down the boarding house he was staying in, along with all the equipment he used to turn invisible, to cover his tracks; but he soon realised that he was ill-equipped to survive in the open.Kemp has already denounced Griffin to the local authorities and is waiting for help to arrive as he listens to this wild proposal.
Griffin uses Kemp's gun to shoot and injure a local policeman who comes to Kemp's aid. Griffin is seized, assaulted, and killed by a mob. The Invisible Man's naked, battered body gradually becomes visible as he dies.
In the epilogue, it is revealed that Marvel has secretly kept Griffin's notes but is completely incapable of understanding them.

The strange tale of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was published on  5 January 1886. The novella is about a lawyer named Mr Utterson going for a walk with his friend and relative Mr Enfield. They walk past a door, which somehow prompts Mr Enfield to tell a sad story: a brute of a man knocked down a little girl, everyone yelled at the rude man, and the man offered to pay a lot of money. The nasty man? None other than Mr Hyde. 
Mr Utterson, it turns out, is Dr Jekyll’s lawyer, and we find out that in the event of Dr Jekyll’s death or disappearance, his entire estate is to be turned over to Mr Hyde. Mr Utterson, who thinks highly of Dr Jekyll, is extremely suspicious of this whole arrangement. 
He hunts down Mr Hyde and is suitably impressed with the evil just oozing out of his pores.

Cut to "nearly a year later." A prominent politician is brutally beaten to death. The murder is conveniently witnessed by a maid, who points to evil-oozing Mr Hyde as the culprit. Everyone tries to hunt down this evil man, but with no success. Meanwhile, Dr Jekyll is in great health and spirits; he entertains his friends, gives dinner parties, and attends to his religious duties.Two months later, both Dr Lanyon and Dr Jekyll fall terribly ill and claim to have irrevocably quarrelled with each other. Dr Lanyon dies, leaving mysterious documents in Mr Utterson’s possession, to be opened only if Dr Jekyll dies or disappears. Dr Jekyll remains in seclusion, despite frequent visits from Mr Utterson.Finally, one evening, Dr Jekyll’s butler visits Mr Utterson at home. He’s worried about his master and is convinced of foul play. The Butler persuades Mr Utterson to return to Dr Jekyll’s house, where they break into Dr Jekyll’s laboratory. They find Mr Hyde dead on the floor, with Dr Jekyll nowhere to be found.Mr Utterson finds several documents left to him and goes back home to read both Mr Lanyon’s narrative and Dr Jekyll’s narrative, which, it turns out, are two parts of the same story.

SHORT TEXT
SONG: HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Lyrics

Step one, you say, "We need to talk."

He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."

He smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best

'Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

Pray to God, he hears you

And I pray to God, he hears you

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

I choose this song because it has strong and meaningful lyrics that are extremely moving and help people suffering through had times in live. I believe this song is important because in this day and age very few songs have a great emotional concept that are inspiring to people who listen.

This song is a great song because I makes me understand that everybody has different feeling and that even when a person is upset they should have happiness.

The song features around a boy who has lost his friends and is going through depression. He lost his best friend. And the attempts people made to try and save him.

MOVIE:
Wonder Woman (2017) is a movie directed by Patty Jenkins. The movie is about a girl called Diana of the Thermyscira, who is the princess of the Amazons trained to be a warrior. But when an American pilot tells her about the conflict that is raging around the world. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars. When she becomes Wonder Woman.

This movie is built on a strong concept of love although the movie.Diana grows and understands, love a lot from the beginning and end.In the beginning, she is raised as a princess on an island of only female warriors training to become a warrior but after meeting Steve Trevor she ends up learning to love him and the world even in the mists of world war one.while at the end she is in a battle with Ares, he was encouraging her to help destroy human life. As Steve sacrifices himself to save millions. she becomes angry with the world and kills Germans until she remembers Trevor's last works confessing his love to her. " It's not about deserved, it's about what you believe in and I believe in love." proving that she has grown to love humans even from their sins because she believes that they can love and to cherish that. The quote makes me realise what I could have done differently in life because it proves that she has grown to love and forgive even after they made her lose Steve. It makes me remember when someone has wronged me and I didn't forgive them know that forgiving them would be better than not, she did the opposite she let go of her grudge to help more than herself but others more important.The quote also makes me realise that you don't have to deserve love to earn it and that you may not deserve the love you get but cherish it because they would have given it to you if they didn't believe in you.

"I learned that in every one of them, there will be both, a choice each makes for themselves something a hero will never defeat and now I know that only love can truly save the world . . . . . ." This Quote is from one of the scenes that I find most emotional because she is looking back at her past and realising that even that her lover has died, there is still humanity in people. I find this scene emotional because of her love for humanity and that she believes that even in times of war the one thing everyone has in common is their ability to love. I like this quote because It makes me realise that we are both good and evil but it our choices that makes us who we are and that we are responsible for our own action and who we become.
This story is relatable to me on a more personal level as I would go to extreme lengths to love and cherish want I have and that I love the things I have before it was gone. The thing I have in common with this movie is that we would fight for love and that we try are best to protect the thing we have.The movie is about love, tragedy, and forgiveness. I enjoy this movie because of her love that she proves to show throw this movie.I understand when she has to step our of her own land to obtain the strength to help the people.
