Harry Potter Anticipation Discussion

2. _D__         Students should only hang out with people just like them.

7. _D__         All rich people do not like poor people.

I disagree with the statement that students should only hang out with people just like them. I disagree with this because if we hang out with people just like us it might become boring because you would not be able to find out about the person because they would be just like you.

I disagree with the statement that all rich people do not like poor people. I disagree with this because some celebrities give money to the poor and help out people in need.

Hagrid Character Traits.

        In the first 5 chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone we are introduced to the characters to the character of Hagrid. Hagrid is a caring person. He is caring because in the story Dumbledore said "I would trust Hagrid with my life". Hagrid is also an ignorant person at times. I know this because in the story he said "If h wants ter go, a great Muggle like you wont't stop him,". In the story Hagrid is also very funny. He says "Got summat fer yeh here - I might sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right." Therefor in the first few chapters of the book we learn alot about Hagrid.

Bitstrips Blog.

I really enjoyed using bitstrips to create my hero's journey. I liked how you can create as many different characters as you would like and you can make them look how ever you want them to look. There are many different backgrounds you can choose from and so many different props you can use. Bitstrips is a awesome website to use for creating any type of comics.

What is a Hero?

One fiction (fake) superhero is spider man. Spider man had spider powers, and he used them to save peoples life. If someone was stuck on top of a building, spider man would use his spider web that came out of his fingers to help save that person. A real life hero I'm my eyes is someone who can save people for their job. For an example, police men, firefighter, or city workers. Police men for example can help you if someone is trying to break into your house or hurting you. They can also help if you are in a bad car crash or need help with anything. Firefighters are also hero's. If your house is burning down and you need help getting out or need someone to put out the fire, they are good for that. City workers like tree workers or hydro people can also be a hero. If we had a bad storm and a tree fell onto your house you would need a tree worker to her the tree off of your house and cut down. Also if a hydro poll fell onto your house and caught on fire you would need a hydro worker to come and fix it. These are all examples of hero's. But there is also one more very important hero that we can not forget about and they are hospital workers. Nurses, surgeons and ambulance workers. They try so hard and put so much effort into keeping you alive. They are definitely hero's.
