After rereading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by Jk Rowling for the gazilionth time i realized one thing Jk Rowling does really well is with answering all problems. any former confusion or doubts in the past books are answered in her final piece of beauty.

One example is Severus Snape who says "i hate Potter" and makes it very clear that he'd be better of without potter. then you begin to see the true Severus Snape, the one who killed Dumbldore on Dumbldores orders and who has been trying to protect harry his entire life.  mrs Rowling shows this in a compelling and romantic way that moves us all. Severuses true love for lily. she shows the bond between lily potter and Snape and it truly leaves us loving Snape and understanding him.

Another example is Voldamort. he seems so strong and powerful but is yet scared. when harry dies and sees Voldamort there he sees an " childlike creature" in incredible pain scared of the outside. she also shows this with descriptions like "fright ran across his face" and " for the first time voldamort was scared" she leaves with and idea of understanding. understanding the motives behind such evil.

all in all after reading the grand finally i realized the great thing about harry potter is you are left with no question unanswered. we should all aim to write more like this.

In the book Catching Fire by Sussan Cohen, I find that there is one great flaw. The missing POV. The book catching fire catches eyes right and left. With its famous author and even more famous prequel. The one main flaw in this great book is the missing POV.

In the book, the main POV is from Katniss, as she is the main character. This may be an author’s choice and it does fine in depicting the needs and wants of the rebelling group, but it does not show presidents snows views. This flaw makes it hard to understand all the characters in a substantial way. Why kill Katniss? Why not Peeta? These questions could easily be answered with some like a chapter intro that is in snows view. One book that does this marvelously is Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. Each chapter has an intro that is in col. Graff’s POV. This strategy helps depict a larger and better picture then the one we see. Another example is the movie, which has many scenes with president snow talking and explaining his motives.

All in all this great book in a personal opinion could have been better with a little more explanation and expansive background on its characters.

question at what point do you see yourself resisting the book? why?

In the book, or comic book; V for Vendetta by Alan Moore, I found myself resisting the story plot when V sends Evey through the journey he went through. This part of the book sent chills down my spine because the journey is just horrific. I think it shows that as a person im not used to seeing such cruel treatment, or such vile behavior.

In his journey V, is locked in a cell as a test subject and is tortured. He is water boarded, beaten and even used as a test subject. When Evey asks him to help save her he makes her go through this treatment. The vile treatment is so horrible that Evey, without knowledge that it is V torturing her, is about to give his location, until she receives a letter from another cellmate, telling her to stay strong and to carry on.  This was such a cruel thing to do that I truly wished to put the book down. It was both to graphic and to intense. what made me continue reading was the strength i saw in evey. It carried through the gruesome scene and to something more romantic in the story. While V was imprisoned he escaped in a fire and completley burned his skin off. For Eveys escape he just opens her cell door and lets her figure things out on her own. This shows how even V someone with such a strong wish for change has limits.

All in all it shows how something like this is sudden and startling for me. i think this because as a US citizen in the 21 century such cruelty is uncommon and it shows us that we are lucky for this. I hope that I stay like this for the rest of my life and that never will something so gruesome not affect me.
