Blog Post 10~ Rest of The First Five Stages

     I have just finished the book Harry Potter, the first book. Throughout his time at Hogwarts, he learns many things and he is trying to defeat his enemies. 
      I guess you could kind of say that Malfoy is sort of the Herald , because he always ags Harry on and tries to get him to do things to get him kicked out of Hogwarts. In another way Malfoy is kind of the trickster too, seeing as he always plays tricks on Harry to get him kicked out of Hogwarts, but it never works, because the teachers at Hogwarts always find a way to make what Harry does a remarkable thing, and honor him instead of getting him kicked out. 
     In the end, Harry goes to stop Snape, since he suspects he is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone for Voldemort, but it turns out to be Quirrell instead. They fought for the stone, and Harry ended up getting hurt.


     This book is a perfect example of an archetypal journey. It shows Harry leaving his ordinary world, meeting the mentor, and all of the other stages of the journey. 

Blog Post 9~ Ordinary World

     The book I am currently reading is Happry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In this book Harry's ordinary world is he muggle world. He has never heard of anything other than it, and he doesn't even know he is a wizard.
     When Hagrid introduces Harry to the fact that he is a wizard and is enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he is very reluctant. He doesn't want to leave his world, even though he wabts to get away from the Dursleys. This is Harry's ordinary world.

     The book I am  currently reading-- along with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, is called The Lying Game by Sara Shepard. 
     The one question in particular that I have about this book is 'What really happened to Sutton?' Of course Emma believes that her long-lost twin sister is still alive, and as excited about meeting her as Emma is of meeting Sutton. But there is just one problem. Sutton has been dead for at least5 or 6 hours. I would really like to know what this person wants from Emma and why he or she did this to Sutton.
