Let Your Imagination Run Wild


Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

By J.K. Rowling

Review By Taline Antoine

Harry Potter lets your imagination run wild with great suspense and adventure! Just when you think the book can’t get any better there is another one waiting full of even more magical adventures.

The book Harry Potter begins like this, there is a bad guy name Voldemort who is unliked by the whole wizard world. The Riddles are a family that died in their house for unknown reasons.

Voldemort and his followers were in the Riddles’ house talking about killing Harry Potter. The Riddles’ were a previous family that lived in the house many years ago but they were found dead by their cook. The suspect was the Riddles’ gardener but he didn’t kill them. The gardener lives there and tends to the garden for any new family that moves in. One night, the gardener was in his cottage outside the main house and woke up to see light in the Riddles’ house but there was no one living there at that time. The light flickered like fire. He went to go see if someone was pulling a prank on him. When he got to the room where the light was flickering, he heard voices. It was Voldemort and one of his followers talking about killing Harry Potter. That night, Harry woke up with a sharp pain on his scar from when he was a baby. Voldemort tried killing Harry when he was a baby but was unsuccessful but killed Harry’s parents instead. Harry’s mother put a spell on him to protect him from Voldemort. The spell was successful even though she died protecting her son. Every time that Voldemort is near Harry his scar hurts. He also dreams about what Voldemort is doing right then and there. Harry wanted to tell someone about the pain but he didn’t know who to tell. He soon came to the decision to tell his Godfather. He has been with his godfather for as long as he’s known he was a wizard.

Harry has a weird connection with Voldemort and because of this, Harry has to be careful every time that he is nearby. Voldemort doesn’t want to give up on killing Harry Potter.

Harry Potter is a very interesting character. You learn a lot about him and other characters. The Harry Potter books open up a whole new world of imagination. Many people are fans of the movies and the books. There are so many lessons you can take away from these books. You can especially use lessons from this book and apply them to your life. You are able to see how the characters grow in to mature wizards and take responsibility for their actions.

This particular Harry Potter book along with the rest of the series is great for ages 8 and up. There are 7 books with the last book split into 2 parts. The last book is the longest book. Each book leaves you wanting to know more about how Harry Potter grows and matures into an adult Wizard. The magical and mystical adventures keep you intrigued always wanting more.

Equality...Kind Of

Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of WWII Christopher Paul Moore Review by Will Hunt          Does color on the outside of us really matter? Why do people judge others based off of our outside skin color?          In Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of WWII you hear many intriguing decisions, for better or worse, made by white males with power in the army or government. These decisions were typically made on whether black or African-American soldiers should be used in combat during the war. Often they chose to use them, but they would be given less significant jobs solely for the fact they were African-American. These included cooking, cleaning and more chores, not fighting. An example of this was when USA started to send men down to Australia. Along with these men they would send big machinery, weaponry and goods to have the ability to set up a base. Australia was completely fine with this...as long as black soldiers didn’t come. An ...

The Fight for Survival

The Death Cure By: James Dashner Reviewed by: Cole Metallides Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if a disease has wiped out most of the population? In the fiction Novel, The Death Cure , which is part of a series of novels consisting of The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trial, by James Dashner, the main character Thomas and many of his friends are trapped in a skyscraper created by a company by the name of the WICKED. WICKED’s goal is to find a cure for the Flare, a serious disease that has killed most of the human population. Their way of finding the cure is very inhumane and involves human testing. I will be summarizing the first quarter of the book. In the beginning of the novel, the kids are put through many strenuous and painful tests that most of the time just seem completely unnecessary. Many of the boys find themselves in rooms that are nothing but white and plain. They haven’t been able to shower for many days and are very confused about why they are there....
