Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

In the third book of this series, Harry goes for his third year at Hogwarts along with Ron and Hermione. He goes into a lot of misheif and trouble with his friends. Since he lives with his muggle aunt and uncle as his guardian, they refuse to sign the note allowing him to go to Hogsmeade, a wizarding village. But he gets a magical map made by the marauders to find secret passageways out of the castle. He tries to save buckbeak which is Hagrid's hippogriff, by going back into time with hermione by using the time turner necklace. He later finds out that he has a godfather called Sirius Black and helps him escape on the hippogriff because he is innocent and accused of murder.

The main character which is Harry Potter is a young boy who is brave at heart. Even though he has continuous unfortunate events thrown at him, he always finds a way to make it right and stay optimistic. I would say he is a determined person because he would do anything to protect his friends and find out about his past.

I would give this book a rating of 100 over 10. It's just a brilliant book and will keep you reading for more. It's packed with all genres- action, comedy, romance and other things. You will feel like you are in the character's shoe as you travel with them through thick and thin. I would recommend this book to everyone, big or small. Boys or girls. People usually read this wonderful series when they're eight until they're 30 or above. People usually pick this book as their favorite in the series and would read it numerous times. It's a book that is sure to keep you sucked in.  

How has your biography connected you to this issue?

My biography is connected to my issue because my issue is about the basic rights, and I'm focusing on food and shelter. My biography is about a guy named Harvey who was abandoned on the doorstep of a church when he was 5 by his parents, so after that his life took a hard turn. He did get a job, but after he was put in prison for minor offense, he lost his job and his home.

How can a peer review of work be helpful?

It can be helpful because there will be someone who will check and edit your work, so if you missed any mistakes, your peer will help you to correct your work and improve it. Another reason a peer review can be helpful is that you get their opinion, from a different perspective. Because another person's point of view, maybe different than yours. They give you feedback and constructive criticism.

Describe your progress on your ELP

I have already wrote down all the topics we learned related to human rights in a spiderweb on Mind Node. I have also already chosen which topic I want to focus on for the fashion show, which is basic rights because it would be easier since I am researching about this with my partner for my biography. I already have all the information I need for this topic and I feel that this topic is important for people to learn about since this is number 1 on our class human rights list. Without basic rights, you can't live, and everyone should deserve the right to basic needs. My partner and I will combine the information we have together on food, shelter, healthcare and education and work together to design a clothing material. So I have already finished part one on my ELP, and will now begin part 2 with my partner.

Suicide in the Trenches

I knew a simple soldier boy

Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know

The hell where youth and laughter go.

1. It’s about this soldier boy trapped in a trench because he’s sad and all alone, daydreaming in depression. In the end, he shoots himself. The crowd didn’t know about the boy, they were cheering when the soldiers came home but the crowd doesn’t know that the people who died weren’t acknowledged. They also didn’t know that the war with all its glory, has more than one side.

2. It’s secretive, there’s more than meets the eye. People cheer and are happy, but behind it, the soldiers are actually lonely and forced to do it because it is their duty.

 

Plan

Disscuss your biography/post your plan/talk about how you will present your individual

Our biography will be presented in a story form. I will be focusing on a person going through poverty, without a roof over their head. My biography would be about a person who is from London and got abandoned by his parents, so he went through a rough life and was living on the streets with his dog. It was hard for him, because not only does he have to feed himself, he also has to feed and take care of his dog Kiya, which is a hard thing because he has no job, therefor he doesn't have enough money to survive and support himself.

I will present my individual by using power point as our finished researched product. We will be going through each subtopics by taking turns, so every other slide, I would be presenting and talking about my topic which is food and shelter.
