The book has answered some old mysteries that have fascinated us that is unknowns. What keeps me reading, is it answers with everything you ever wanted to know about alien civilizations, photographic memories, nanobots, poop, and (conveniently) toilet paper.

The book has been an interesting read, using comics or pictures to uncover the magic and mechanics behind famous movies. The exploration everything from censorship to set design, the author spotlights the films and film-makers, from the pioneers of early cinema to explaining the history of cinematography. Also, the philosophical meaning in movies that I have not noticed in old and new films.

The first book is so focused into the world of real life cause and effect. The past of Tom Riddle and what made the angry young orphan into a wizard of devastating power? This rips the story out of the magical realm where things happen that would defy explanation and the world of rejection class warfare in the past this lead to decisions made in the present which impact people beyond the scope of expectations.

Death is a huge point of the book, for in it we lose the greatest wizard of the Wizarding community, Dumbledore. We are reminded that even magic is no match for death. Death, we come to find, is also the thing that Voldemort fears most, causing him to stop at nothing in the quest for immortality. He pushes the boundaries of magic in order to seek this ultimate power, but can he escape death?

Her hatred is aimed at people who disrespect her authority. When she is in to the classroom, she insists that the students say, "Yes, Professor Umbridge" or "No, Professor Umbridge." She wants them to show their obedience to her all the time. And when a student( Harry)doesn't always obey her, she turns the most terrifying loathing onto them. Professor Umbridge's name is close to "umbrage," meaning to take offence.

Dolores Umbridge came to Hogwarts as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but refused to teach the students to defend themselves. Later, she replaced Dumebledore as the Headmistress and caused endless damage to the school and students. I am questioning if she has malicious plans or did she, like most others in the wizarrding world, not want to believe that Lord Voldemort had returned and cover it up?

Ready Player One explores a main theme of staying true to oneself. Throughout the book characters try and hide their real identity by "hiding" in the OASIS. The biggest example of this is Aech hiding both her race and gender.

When I first started A Long Walk to Water, I wondered if Salva's and Nya's lives are connected. There may be a big age difference between them, but it weaves together two different characters' stories. Later in the book, Salva is 17 after 6 years of refuge, and in his time period is 1991. Nya right now is in 2009, not very far from Salva, and may meet overtime shortly.

The main character Ben, acts like the famous activists Jane Goodall. Ben's connection with his half-brother Zan, has a strong connection that is similar with Jane Goodall. Her connection with the apes is what she is famous about. Because Ben treats his Monkey friend like a little brother, his emotions to the monkey have grown.

The first storyline, a boy named Salva is forced to flee his village due to the outbreak of civil war. In the second storyline, a girl named Nya works hard to gather water for her family, spending entire days walking to and form the nearest pond to get the dirty water. The storylines have two variations on the theme of survival in each, extraordinarily difficult force children to fight for nourishment and safety.

A theme that stands out from the beginning is literacy and power. While language initially a struggle for the main character, Liesel becomes one that empowers her and allows her to quietly rebel against Hitler's regime. Liesel's mother was too poor to educate her properly and, as a result, she couldn't read well, a fact that becomes well-known to Liesel's schoolmates. They taunt her for her inability to read.

In the Harry Potter book Muggles or as non-magical users are being assaulted by wizards that think muggles are to be eradicated. This situation reminds me of racism to black people and how mistreated they are for how they look, or what they cannot do, like doing magic or different background.

In the third book of the Harry Potter series, Harry has changed his characteristics. Now, Harry reminds me of another fictional character who's name is Eragon. Eragon reminds me of Harry because they both have that passion to walk in to danger, or risk their lives to save of those they love. Some other extra likeness they have are that they both have messy hair, and both of their parents died a tragic deaths.

As I read through the book Harry get's even more bad luck. On his first year of second term he crashed a flying car into a tree, getting detention for being muddy, and his nemesis Draco Malfoy joining the Slytherin quidditch team. Why I see this interesting is what I noticed in the last book, Harry get's bad luck, but suddenly turns to be good. So, what I think about the plot is going to be very, very interesting.

Harry Potter is not enjoying his stay at his dreadful cousin's house with his disgusting uncle, menacing aunt, and his obnoxious cousin. Something really funny about the book is that, his uncle Mr.Dursley hated magic and when he found out from a letter from the Mystery of magic, it said he cannot use magic outside of Hogwarts. So he locked Harry in a cage with very less food and water given to him, It was a Dungeon.

Harry Potter is a very interesting character in the book. He has started from nobody to a somebody, and found out all about his hidden family that his horrible aunt and uncle have been hiding. Right now he is the most famous wizard ever and everyone's been talking about him. I have been starting to like this journey with Harry, and will keep reading with enjoyment.

The main charecter Miles, I a lot like me, but he also reminds of the author, because they both have the same background, and very caring to others. For example, Miles is a superhero, and cares about helping people helping people in their tough situations. The author, does charity a lot, and that shows he cares for others. Their hair styles are also pretty crazy, and similar in every way. Same as their background.
